Hyrule Memories

Group Think controls imagination and Fairy tales. Write legends. Remember playing The Legend of Zelda at twelve years old on a summer afternoon. Rubbing your thumbs raw after hours of joystick pistol clicking. Packing on the weight eating Doritos. Tuning it all out as you explored Hyrule.

Rockstar game designers are shaping our cultures one first person shooter, one role playing game at a time. Making fantasies in 3-d wireframe environs they are teaching children to escape their realities. Teaching children to to live inside thier heads. Inside their imaginations.

Teaching soldiers how to kill and fight in an urban settings. Teaching soldiers to not shoot the innocents. Teach soldiers that there isn't anything friendly about friendly fire.

Teach us all. Teach us to believe in ourselves again. Use your technologies to evolve us, shape us, make us into our Utopian potential. Clean again. One again. Alive again. One video game under God.
