E3 2006

Still not sure if I'll go, but the new Nintendo (the controller, mostly) has got me interested, more so than I've been, well, since, their last breakthrough in interface design. Which would be Super Mario 64, ten years ago!

Got this idea for a "game" using real cellphones, but I'm not certain the technology is there yet. Sure I dream of an MMO Manhunt, but since violence is overplayed (and not likely to be outdone by an original effort), I thought maybe I could have protagonists who solve problem situations with everyday tools, namely their Motorola. Their own Motorola, Sony Ericsson, whatever, though, not a virtual facsimile. Take that Nintendo; you and your TV remote! Make and get calls between your online avatar, and somehow you'll feel like you've made an important difference. At least that's how I hope it'd work. And I don't know why, but the Pillows' "Last Dinosaur" track from the FLCL credits keeps coming up whenever I think about this.
