Anyone checking out the new sensiview Old Old West?

Hello everyone! I know, I know, I haven’t been posting here for a long time. What can I say? A busy history teacher and his class are never parted. And, quite frankly, this medium of ‘posting’ thoughts on line is somewhat boring. I am not giving up on this little project, and hopefully will be adding to it much much more in the coming weeks, but lets face facts. In the age of neural implants, neual controlled electronics, custom body sculpting, immortality, virtual landscapes and complete dominance of every inch of the solar system, why do I really need a keyboard?

But, I digress. I am a history teacher after all and this is for the purpose of reliving what it was like before sensiviews came out. You can always checkout the massive archives of the original vNet, the Internet as it was called, on the library system. Come to me after class, if any of my students are reading this and want to know, and i’ll set you up.

On that note, as you are supposed to do on these, lets talk about something inane and useless. I recently had some time off and plugged in to the new sensiview, Old Old West. Well, what can I say, it was filled with gratuitous violence, some pretty raunchy sex scenes and of course enough drugs and rock and roll to satisfy even the heaviest of rockers.

It starts out plugged into not the lead character but a cohort. Who quickly dies. Of course. I’ve been watching sensiviews since I was a kid and dying is never an easy one. It just over loads your brain with thoughts and feelings of death, even though the cohort doesn’t actually die, he acts it pretty good, which translates through the neural connection right into your cortex and gives you a terrible feeling of death.

The rest of the film was more of the same. Guns, violence, sex, in the old old west. It was very fun to ride a horse and be on a stage coach. They really got the smells right I think. Though there were a few times I spied the work crew behind one of the fabrication buildings, overall the total package, look, feel, was spot on. And honestly, I only saw a modern shirt sleave or something dart behind a building.

It was a good sensiview though. I recommend it. And in honoring it, i’ll be quizing on modes of travel in the 1800′s. Hope you read the blog!
