I was going to post that, but I thought that it would've just been covering the same "apocolypse" theory we've been over. I think Crawl posted that link about how the gaming industry would crash in 2005.

It is a very creepy thought. As I start to read classical works, I start to realize that SO many things have ripped it off in one way or another. There are only so many creative situations that a writer can put a character in, so options run out fast.

It's becoming abundantly obvious that companies like Nintendo and Sony are closing shop. Then again, the Nintendo DS and the PSX (they can't even come up with original names, for Pete's sake) might make me change my mind.
