Is .Hack really happening?

Isn't it curious that .hack's story line is about a spreading virus that may be "killing" (como) players.
And right now a virus (SARS) is spreading and it may kill people.

Maby the story does exist.

... ok... but uh... ... no...

there isn't a "the world" game... or any game that they've found a connection to having done that... and the symptoms of sars are waaaaaay different from those of a coma.

nah, .hack's been around the world for a while, and SARS was only recently discovered (several months)

Unless everyone who got pwned by Skieth had coincidentially had their goggles infected with herpes, I highly doubt their comas were caused by viruses.

...considering the fact that comas aren't caused by viruses anyway, the point is moot.

This thread has successfully made me cry.

computer virus: A computer program that is designed to replicate itself by copying itself into the other programs stored in a computer. It may be benign or have a negative effect, such as causing a program to operate incorrectly or corrupting a computer's memory.

SARS: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

I think that settles that.

Well put. Term has been settled. Really, no need for further discussion. *Creates SARS computer virus* JKJKJK!!! Eheheh... I don't know how anywho...

I don't think you get what I mean. I seem to think on an entirely different wave length then most people do. . I realize things that many cannot see. I did not mention anything about "the world" but Earth. Like .hack, SARS has traveled around the world and it started in Asia. It can be potentially dangerous like the "virus". Just please think about it a little more.

All I can see is about .hack happening could be the timeline in the near future.

lol! you're saying that the dot hack series, the way it spread so popularly, is like sars?? now I get it... well, can't really argue with that... you know any canadians that play tho? eh... (that is really fun to say!)

I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your post, Fung.

You're right, there are similarities between .hack and SARS.

But they're just a coincidence.

maybe I don't quite understand but doesn't .hack take place in 2010...?

If .hack was really happening, then the outbreak of the Hello WNC computer virus would have just occured last month. I don't remember hearing anything about it.

I guess we'll all have to wait 7 months and see if anyone dies from the Deadly Flash virus.

Fung made a very thought provoking post. It very well could be true.

I recently went to Chinatown during Anime Boston and I contracted some sort of... virus. Sore throat, watery eyes, the sniffles and lots of coughing. Tossing and turning all night long. It was horrible. Once I came home I went online and logged on to that wonder called AIM. Now, I can't log off...

True story.

Is .hack happening right now in our world?

Perhaps, follow my story...

I fear when my 56K cuts out on me...

you never know what the future holds. SARS could be PLuto's Kiss =p. Ok maybe i'm over exagerating, but you never know what the future holds. I think that if Bandai Releases the world as a game, watch out people <<>>.
