Think of all the information our brains drink in at every moment. It's all in there, somewhere. Since the Chasms are the point at which Lila's vision is translated into mental data, iPods and fishing poles do fit into the scheme of things on some level. They might manifest differently in the game world, but these would not be foreign to Lila's experience. Hopefully that won't break the fun for you. :) FluffFluff, time is different in Lila's inner Wurld (it's faster). But her waking reality does echo into it all the time in various ways.

And you know what? It's going to be a great game!!!! Sign me up on the testing guys Fascinating outline of Lila's grasp on the human eye. Thanks Ted, it makes my day! I do agree somewhat with Oneir, however (carbon fibers and ipods does seem a little out of place). To be clear, is the timeline of lila's dreams correlates directly with Lila's real world, Or it more or less span on a different scale?

Or maybe trade an NPC for one! Or meet and talk to one myself? What kind of power would a cerebral denizen command whilst wielding a Whision? Can't wait.

Don't get me wrong, though, the idea is fascinating and, whatever pet-peeves I have the content in the game itself is looking to be real neat.

When you need game-testers count me in! Sounds like a whole lot of awesome! Wow, very imaginative, I can’t wait to see how the game will look. When you need game-testers count me in!

Sure beats reading the textbook itself! who knows...even our own ear or nose could be hiding a lot more than we'll ever know about Yay, first to comment! :)
