... Dreaming about a game? Seriously?..

:laugh: .

Words cannot fathom how stupid that is when you're past the age of.. say.. 10.

If you're dreaming about GTA 4, you need to seek help, professional psychological style help.

What a load of rubbish :|

Instead of spending all that time attempting and failing to be smart, you might want to you know maybe try and fix those broken sarcasm detectors :huh: no?

Geez I think all of Neowin needs to pull together enough strength so maybe then we can pull your head out of your own arse? :hmmm:

You cannot just insult somebody and then try and relive yourself of the responsibility by saying it was sarcasm.....Please, don't insult my intelligence. It was not just an honest bad joke because I don't know who is juvenile enough to take that as a joke!

We've already approached, examined and resolved that issue....we are past that now and you'll do well to follow!

seriously, i NEVER dream. sucks for me =\

only time i get dreams is if i wake up at 9 then go back to bed.

DMT is the drug that creates dreams inside your mind and your mind probably produces a large enough amount that it completely knocks you out striking the dream(trip) from your memory.

I need to get my hands on this drug! :D

Went to see Iron Man with my coworker last night, and he also had GTA IV. I had mentioned that I actually dreamt about GTA, and he said he has for the past two nights now.

We then wondered if R* somehow figured subliminal messages and certain people are responsive to it. :laugh:

AHA so I'm not crazy! At least, not the only one :D

Rockstar might have added subliminal messages....to make sure we keep playing even during sleep! Talk about game of the year....more like game of the century because it might be the first game that gets displaced into our dreams!

Wait hold on now, people work in New Jersey?

I've been dreaming of me sexing up girls, going around random places in the neighborhood, just slaying random people and having breast since well before GTA4 arrived, probably about the time I hit my teens about a decade ago, and while that might seem weird to some at least give me credit for never posting a topic about it on a public forum, especially not Neowin. And no, I'm not sure where I'm going with that but I'm just as lost as to where this topic is heading also.

Just curious to see how many people can actually admit to this :)

By the way, just so we are clear this has nothing to do with how old / mature a person is. Dreams aren't exactly affected by those attributes. As Freud thought, dreams are mere unresolved conflicts that we are once again forced to relive but in a masked way. See, he believed that the "id" component of the psyche is where the unconscious part of our mind lies. He thought that we store our most horrifying thoughts and memories in the "id" which doesn't allow for these to displace into the conscious mind because if they did, it would be traumatic! Dreams are not direct messages. They mask actual thought and memories as a way of preventing us from consciously re-living those memories.

So you see? I am just trying to get a sense of whether this game affects people as much as previously estimated. I am not trying to waste anyone's time. I am honestly just curious.

I don't really know anything about psychology, but whilst my friend was revising it for her exam the other day I read about some of Freud's theories and things, and I have to say that guy was a complete weirdo! :laugh:

Yes, most people thought Freud was nuts! Maybe he was, but he did make some good points.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.
