I was raised to be a Trekkie by my dad, and one of the things I always found fascinating about the Star Trek Universe were the Holodecks that were aboard every ship. You see in Star Trek at least starting with The Next Generation, you would find a room with a hologram projector that could create both solid and non solid images of people, places, and things. The point of this room was for recreation for members aboard the ship to delve into their fantasies in a form of escapism. Pretty much what video games are becoming today, a form of interactive fantasy where a person could delve into a world created by oneself or another for the purpose of relieving stress during their time of leisure. In my life time, I’ve seen video games go from a child’s activity to this; video games are becoming an interactive experience that can now delve into any matter that were once only associated with films and literature. All my life, I’ve always had a fascination with movies and storytelling, and thanks to this new medium I’ve pretty much found a new way to delve into my own stories and adventures.
