 It's not pessimistic to expect more Video-diversity in games.  =20

 I most certainly appreciate the power we have - after all, one hasn't =

  Nondeterministic polynomial time is the formal definition.  It is =

  thats how much work you end up doing on a computer.

  VR will need the appropriate hardware.  The best images are worth =
nothing if
  the interface (monitor, mouse) stays 2D and clumsy.
