It was published on 16 August 2011. The plot summary doesn't even come close to doing it justice. It has tons of references to 80's retro video
games, movies, and music. The 'OASIS' is basically an Internet that you log into with a virtual avatar of yourself. Then you explore it with haptic
gloves and a visor as your input methods instead of a keyboard and mouse. Inside the OASIS you then have limitless ability. You can shop,
you can level up you can explore, you can visit planets that are dedicated to hosting game rooms ( like vizzed would have its own planet) You
can play any video game ever made within it. The plot itself is pretty cool and I think it would be a pretty unique and fun game if they attempted
to make it for XBOX360 or PC or something. They obviously couldn't do the VR stuff but they could make a decent game based on the idea of
the protagonist using a VR uplink to navigate through the OASIS.

Here is a quick funny fact for pokemon fans.

The seashell on Slowbro's tail is actually another pokemon! In the pokedex for slowbro it identifies the pokemon as a Shellder! I know it doesn't look like a Shellder but you cant really argue with the maker. If you don't believe me you can look it up! I believe that is from the GBA Leaf Green Pokedex for Slowbro. I can't recall 100% though so If it is a different one feel free to correct me!

     A smartphone with a touch keyboard. You really don't need hard buttons to interact. They aren't that practical any longer. I will admit I got to a point that I could text ridiculously fast with just the t9 with the number pad, but I can text just as fast now on any of my touch keyboards.

If you want an answer that fits your parameters mentioned then I would say a phone with a full keyboard that you can flip out or up or whatever you direction you may be flipping it - like the ENV. Its a smart comfortable design and doesn't waste space that could be used for more efficient hardware by having it slide out. 

I have used IE #-9, Safari, Opera, Firefox, Chrome.

I use chrome on my computer. Its fast, reliable and simple. It has many useful shortcuts - for example if you accidentally closed out a tab and
think its gone and you didn't mean to and you wish you hadn't... You have a re-open closed tab shortcut ' Ctrl + Shift + T '. That is one of my
favorites. Try it =D. Firefox comes in 2nd.

Oh and even though it isn't really specified. I have seen some responses mentioning their phone browser.

I have used Safari, Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Skyfire and Dolphin.

Well I prefer 'Dolphin Browser HD'  for all of my handheld devices. I prefer it for my Android SGS2 and for my Ipad 2 and for my Iphone 4s.
It seems to do the best at simplifying all the abilities of Chrome into a web browser for the phone. It also seems to operate quicker than other
browsers. 

I was wondering if anyone here has read the book 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline.
It is a really cool book and I feel like Vizzed fits in perfectly with the plot.

Story:

The year is 2044 and the world is in near-ruins. The Great Recession has taken its toll on the world's economy, and resources are scarce.
 The Internet and gaming culture have evolved into a creation known as OASIS, a massive multiplayer online simulation game created by
 James Halliday and Ogden Morrow of Gregarious Simulation Systems (GSS), formerly known as Gregarious Games. Halliday, with no
heirs or other living family, dies suddenly and leaves a video will to those in OASIS and a book that was dubbed Anorak's Almanac, which
purports to be a volume written by James Halliday's avatar Anorak in OASIS. The video says that whomever can collect three keys (Copper,
Jade, and Crystal) that are hidden throughout the universe of OASIS and pass through the matching gates will receive his fortune and
controlling stake in GSS. This becomes known as the Hunt and people immediately begin the search for Halliday's "egg," a reference to the first "Easter egg" in video game culture in the game Adventure. 

If anyone has read this please let me know It would be fun to discuss it.

**Thanks for moving my post to the correct place**

     This is a tough choice. They both have unique roles in the FPS world.
Single player - Halo wins for having such a deep plot line. COD does pretty
well for what it has to work with for its Single Player story mode but Halo's
is much stronger and more unique.

     Multiplayer, I think the multiplayer for Halo has descended from Halo: Combat Evolved.
Each additional game was more bland and more bland for the multiplayer battles. Halo 2, Halo 3 and Reach... It took less skill and less strategy and more who gets the better gun first. That is why I was hugely grateful for the anniversary edition release of Combat Evolved. 

COD on the other hand created an awesome milestone for multiplayer fps with modern warfare. Each consecutive release has been quite similar and doesn't really delve too much away from the main style. I believe overall COD takes more skill and is more rewarding to play for the multiplayer. 

That is why I voted for COD. After the campaign I'm never going to touch it again unless the multiplayer is fun enough. and COD is the one with the preferred multiplayer and that is why I have dedicated more hours to COD multiplayer than HALO. Although, they honestly are still relatively close. Not saying HALO multiplayer, even with reach, is bad. It is still a contender. I just think they got a little bit too off course and that COD stayed on the right path.

Thank you Seishiro, I have enjoyed my time thus far so I think I shall stick around =P

How about Reboot or Johnny Quest. Those shows were pretty cool! Both had pretty awesome concepts. They both had matrixesque ideas where there was computer worlds within worlds. ( reboot was technically computer games with in computer worlds but whatever ) either way I used to wish I could have a chance to use Johnny Quest's 'Questworld' cyberspace!! haha... also --
Johnny Bravo - yes, Dexter's Lab - yes (before the horrible change in animation quality), I liked Freakazoid too!

homie_jiraiya : Street Sharks was Jawsome! ( I actually hated street sharks, but I couldn't resist the reference)

ahhh Invader Zim. A show ahead of its time and also released on the wrong network. How that show was a kids show on Nickelodeon is beyond me. It has some seriously dark ideals. Anyways, hands down - Gir. 

He is was just way too cute and stupid!

I wish that show would come back!

Slightly biased here because I couldn't make it through more than 1 episode of bleach. Dragon Ball Z is definitely the way to go.
There is nothing more epic then pissing a saiyajin off enough to make them turn super saiyajin! When Goku first turned Super Saiyajin vs Freeza... I nearly peed my pants! At first I was just like... why did he dye is hair???? ....but then It was obvious that it was the ultimate in power. 
DBZ all the way.

I am going to vote Link to the Past. That game is one of the best Zelda installments ever made. 
Seeing them recreate it would have a much stronger draw for me than MM. It is quite similar as far 
as your typical Zelda game goes so I don't have a decent support from that end.
If this is for the 3DS, then one of the strong pulls is that it has the ability 
to surpass the n64 in graphics so remaking an N64 game is cool. They already did that with OoT 
so I would like them to do something different. I think bringing snes graphics up to speed with 
the 3DS engine would be a cool enough selling point by its self let alone that the game with
its original snes graphics is incredible.

     I apologize for not specifying MLB. I love rpg's. Especially action-rpg's like Zelda. Most of the ones I am familiar with are for super nintendo. I didn't have a super nintendo growing up so most of them were played on my computer via emulators and roms.  Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Super Mario RPG - basically anything from Square or Enix.

     I enjoy many genres though. I love megaman, especially megaman X,X2 and X3, same for super metroid. I can get addicted really fast if there is any kind of unlockables or level up system. That's why I love Castlevania SOTN for playstation. That game is fantastic. In my later years I picked up a large appreciation for FPS mainly because I have a knack for it. I love the competition in playing Halo or COD multiplayer. I have a high end computer to play new PC games but I find I prefer fps on console systems such as my XBOX 360.

     My appreciation is much more expansive than that though, those are just quick references. I love gameboy advance games, I love regular gameboy games as well, same for regular nintendo - I beat super mario 3 and bubble bobble about 500 times as a kid LOL. I recently beat skyrim and thought it was incredible- and I just picked up skyward sword so I have to beat that too. But my main appreciation lies in video games that I can find on this website, I love the old console systems with their bit graphics and bleepity-bloop songs. 

     Also, I do not live in New York City, I've only been there once, I live on lake Erie, closer to Toronto and Michigan. However  I can still answer what I liked about the city. I liked the amount of people to interact with. I went out there as kind of a party night in the city with my best friend in celebration of him getting married. We went to a bunch of different bars and got wasted. It was quite fun because each bar had so many people. There was not a dull moment. I was not too fond of the traffic though. That was annoying. I don't think I could stand to live there for that very reason.

     Anyways, I truly have a large knowledge of video games and a large appreciation for them so while I cant guarantee I have beaten a game, I most probably have at least played it. Give me a try, what are your preferences for video games? 

P.S. I apologize If that is too large of a post. I'm not really sure what the proper etiquette is. But I've noted that the more words I write equals more XP so I suppose it can't be that bad of thing with a pleasant incentive like that. =D

Greetings Vizzed,

     I am Archias ( arr -kigh -iss).
I am quite delighted to have discovered 'Vizzed' and it expansive collection of video games.
I don't usually participate in forums but perhaps this is my starting point. This forum actually
appears to be a unique enough communication grounds to be worth the time. 

I doubt this post will ever be read... but to go along with protocol.
Here are just a couple quick facts about myself:

- I live in New York.
- I love video games.
- I am in the middle of reading the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and Vizzed is remarkably close in comparison to some of 
the ideas expressed in the book which has further propelled my interest in this website.
- I love anime such as: DBZ, Naruto, Evangelion. (just a couple quick examples)
- I am 25, male, and straight ( I have a beautiful blond girlfriend who I am madly in love with. )
- When I am not playing video games or participating in obligatory girlfriend rituals I am playing music on my piano or guitar - or possibly my uke.

Anyways that should take care of my Introduction. My next move is to find a video game and play the crap out of it =D
