Did you know Cartoon Network was already airing this? I was intrigued when I heard about the game a couple years ago and never expected it to make it over here. But you gotta love a game that is about a game! I only saw 7 minutes of the show last Saturday, but it sounded like it could be good. There was a really deep thought as well. One of the characters was talking about playing rpgs when he was a kid, and he said that it always involved saving the universe from some evil. When he got to a hard place, he would always reset and try again. But what happened to the people in that world? Since he abandoned them, were they left in an evil world forever? Did anyone ever save them?

It's strange and of course it's just a game, but it's an interesting take on things. Kind of reminds me of the parallel world theories and all that stuff. Anyway, that's all.

I should watch it too! I remember thinking something just like that long ago, right about when I was wondering if all worlds imagined became fully formed universes unto themselves. Heh, it was an interesting thing to think about anyway. I did see commercials for it but didn't pay enough attention to find out when it actually aired.

Here's the basic story of .hack//Sign:

There's a young kid who plays an online rpg to try to escape from the real world, but he becomes trapped in the game and can't get out. Now he is travelling across the gaming world trying to find something that can help him.


I missed the first episode, but I managed to catch the second one.

For anyone who is interested: It airs every Saturday on CN at 3 p.m. eastern time.
