"The most ambitious promise of the new narrative medium is its potential for telling stories about whole systems. The format that most fully exploits the properties of digital environments is not the hyper-text or the fighting game but the simulation: the virtual world full of interrelated entities, a world we can enter, manipulate, and observe in process. We might therefore expect the virtuosos of cyberdrama to create simulated environments that capture behavioral patterns and patterns of interrelationships with a new clarity."
-- Janet Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck
This soccer ball is one of several seats placed along the street in downtown Vancouver for visitors to relax and enjoy the celebrations around them during the World Cup. Maneki-neko waves to wish everyone good fortune and prosperity.
So original!!! What a beautiful ball... and the cat is even cuter!
There are many businesses here that keep figurines of the cat on the counters for good luck and prosperity.
They’re all the rage everywhere, especially in Chinese shops.
