This should be the Age of Mostly Rubbish. I wouldn't call any of my, omegatripod's, Kitkat's or Razonatair's creations rubbish.
You call that a wall of text? Jesus, you have a problem. I'm quite a good reader, my speed it 400 wpm with 70% accuracy last I checked. A wall of text takes half a minute to read, longer if it's on philosophy. Anyway, if you think that's a wall of text I'm bemused and amused at the same time. A wall of text takes about a minute to read on average. You see, the average wall of text is several paragraphs long, and no spaces. Think of a four line paragraph as a brick, and there will usually be two at minimum, and probably 12. Sometimes you can get ones which are 30 bricks long, but they are usually troll posts, and are dubbed text walls of China. (Most modern walls of text are made by spambots from china, but that's a whole new story.) Anyway, if an older person in internet age does infact give a wall of text, one does not treat it as so. One must cherish every character, and relish every word, before taking each sentence and placing them individually upon a case, to remember for all time. If you do find the need to write one, you should italic, underline and bold segments, to keep the reader interested. This is not linking to TvTropes, this is doing it by hand, the old fashioned way. That way you know that the reader will either curse you for distracting them, or love that you cared enough to do this. That is what a wall of text is. That's how you play the game.*Wall-o'-text*Really? I've never had any of those problems.
And it would be called Grandfather, and playing it would rip up the fabric of reality, and your PC.A simulator where you could enter specific battles or timelines in history, change the outcome, and then you can watch the devolpment of history from that point with inventions made and detailed looks what happened in history
This reminds me of something...
Oh yeah, there was an RTS somewhere that used time travel was a mechanic, there was a thread about it on here somewhere but I can't remember what it was called.
I could see that happening in a FPS though. You get shot by a sniper, you jump back in time right before death and take out the sniper before he shoots you... Get ambushed, you jump back a few seconds and lob a 'nade, jump back and the attackers are all dead. Granted, these are just small-scale applications. I'd go so far as to jump into the middle of WWI wielding our 21st century tech, or maybe larger ramifications than that... like jumping to 10,000 BC and making fire or head to the 18th century and kill the guy that tries to start the church of Mormon, however I doubt that we'd have the tech to make a game that versatile any time soon. After all, we can't even replay most days in history up til that point, let alone being able to alter them as much as we want and see the ramifications at any other point and time.
