Quintessence of Excellence
"The Escape Route 2.0" is an insider conversation on the diverse complexities of modern gaming principles that would invite one to consider the cross-cultural parallels between the real world and its derived digital realities that coexist in time and space. A multinational effort, The Escape Route elevates awareness of psuedo-separated computed realities through the latest in broadcasting technology to a global scale. A panel of gaming genius frontrunners currently dictating the future of the industry also heed advice from interior decorators, vapid vegetarians, and even a real-life gaming expert (no spoilers here, my chap), and reminisce about the nostalgic days of Sega vs. Nintendo and what used to be known about gaming. A poignant discussion between these like-minded individuals has already led to technological advances in technique for level design; they actually hacked the Left 4 Dead editor before it was even released and created highly-acclaimed enviroscapes that revolutionized how one would now perceive real life and the potential dangers one comes across one a day to day basis. These internationally cooperative virtual thinktanks very well could lead to world peace, and I for one am a lifetime subscriber, explicit content or naught.
