What would you be willing to trade for the flying car?

Flying car? I want a motorcycle that turns in to a helicopter or a helicopter that turns in to a jet, all armed with lasers! Cars that fly with gullwing doors are so...vanilla

I did ask Cable! But it's the same old story with him...

"Yeah...there's hoverboards and flying cars....of death!"

"In the future video games are only used for mental training."

"In the future there are no bright colors...just brown, grey, and sometimes red.The red is blood!"

"In the future there are no mp3 players...the only song we hear is staying alive!"

"In the future there is no clean water, so we drink our own pee!"

Honestly, I stopped caring about anything Stan Lee had to offer the world after I saw this at my local blockbuster: http://www.fotothing.com/photos/us/28136.jpg

Much love for X-Men and Spider-man though.

Hey, he may make questionable movies at times, but, he does great work at character design. Also, look at the great news, at least he's using the term Miracle to describe video games and not 'Murder Simulator' like another old-man we all know. I'd rather hear my grandfather describe my hobby as a miracle that murder simulator anyday!!

Cant agree more with him - a miracle, thats exactly what I felt when I first played this generation's better games such as Uncharted, Batman: Arkham or Killzone 2. Its mind-boggling how much technical expertise and effort must go into developing a software engine that can generate such life-like graphics, creating the complex and detailed environments, balancing the gameplay, etc. Personally, I cant build a small piece of VBA code without struggling with half a dozen bugs and errors, just cant believe that a small group of say 100-200 game developers can work for a couple of years (or less, if you are Insomniacs!) and come out with products like these.

You better stop it unless you want to stay up with me all night crying!

On a serious note - It really is something special when you play a game that just resonates on every level and elicits emotions most feature films can't touch. I'm looking at you Jeanne D'Arc, Bioshock and Metal Gear Solid 4. I've great hopes for White Knight Chronicles, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain to deliver similar experiences in the near future.

It seems like this generation of great game is just getting started.

i agree with you, videogames are possible of eliciting emotional investment that is far different (not better, that's a different argument) than any other form of art. Books and movies are both passive experiences that tell stories about those on-screen or in their pages superbly, but the investment in a character that one controls is almost, for lack of a better word, magical.

*SPOILER*

The credits scene at the end of the new PoP, where the character carries Elika out of the temple and realizes what he must do to save her (and I really wanted to save her) is easily one of the most powerful moments I have ever experienced in any book, movie, or game

The superhero one. I became disgusted by the second episode but, like a train wreck, watched the entire debacle unfold before my eyes. I lost a lot of respect for personal idol that day.

Perhaps. But I imagine a guy like Stan Lee gets to retain a lot of creative control when it comes to production. If not, he should. The cheese of the program definitely felt like him, though.

Yeah, yeah, so will he make (not-so) invisible cameos in games based off of his characters now?

I'd love to see an old man in my games. Maybe he might end up being the Mandarin's master or something.*

*Since the Mandarin himself is pretty darn old, I figured it would be pretty ironic to see an older man.

My right hand, I swear not two days ago I wrote in Notepad, "Video games are little computer miracles."

Granted I was high at the time, but I don't think the statement is any less prolific.

I got to meet Stan a few years ago when working on a project for Sony. He is a truly nice guy and still full of wonder. I hope I can be half as cool when I am that age.

Stan Lee loves everything.

Even when filmmakers are raping some of his greatest creations, he doesn't mind. In his view it just makes them more popular for a new audience.

He's like Super Carefree Man.
