Mind you, you have to admit it... you're never going to find a graphics card that will ever deliver the same sense of realism, for zero cost. I mean, how many frames/sec is rl action? And what about surround stereo?

lol Ankh that lightning bolt bit rocks.
I just couldn't take something like that seriously I'd just have to shout "tennis ball of doom" or something each time instead or actually take a taser
Still if people enjoy it they enjoy it and can't really fault them for enjoying themselves.

It's kind of alright in a funny sort of way. After all, it's only like-minded people meeting to have some fun in the open air... no different from any mainstream sport really. It makes a change from being cooked up in your computer room, getting no physical exercise. And I bet they all meet afterwards for beer and some food, maybe a hog roast or something.
The only thing that pre-occupies my mind is do these guys have to take out some sort of insurance? I mean, tennis balls and plastic swords can inflict some pretty nasty wounds!

Also, it must be possible with modern technology to rig up something that can do magic spells more realistically. Motion activated stuff, where if you fling your arm out in a spell-casting gesture, you get a "realistic" sound, and maybe some sort of foam projectile etc?
EDIT: Hmmm.... Maybe an old flashgun off a camera? As you cast the lightning bolt, the flash could be triggered...
Maybe you could use darts instead of tennis balls?!? hehe

But what could be more fun than throwing tennis balls and shouting LIGHTNING BOLT
