You just gotta be able to age gracefully like me! LOL<br /><br />As Frozen would say, "Let it go!" or as Taylor Swift would say, "Get away from me, you old geezer!" I mean, "Shake it off!

In the science department,...Indeed a great cap Dee.<br />In the science department, time travel has at least the advantage that no one knows what would happen, so there is room to give one's own explanation.<br /><br />LOL, you're feeling old Caitlyn, because of GTA:SA? I still remember the fun I had with the very first GTA when it came out. That's only 18 years ago ;) Even more, the last cap I made deals with a little European pop culture, a TV show called Pan Tau. That's a children’s series from the late sixties and seventies I watched very often. How should I feel? Uhm..., young actually, as long as I don't go as far back as Pong, which my dad bought when I was a kid, then the years start to count for me as well :)Helena Radianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07628278680037628856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870069212223825401.post-56626789813246384712015-07-17T09:40:56.897-04:002015-07-17T09:40:56.897-04:00Great cap Dee! Time Travel, Magic V Science, and ...Great cap Dee! Time Travel, Magic V Science, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas… this just has a lot of extra credit geeky Caitlyn points! <br /><br />With the Magic V Science in TG caps, I tend to think they are interchangeable. I think it just really depends on what the author is more comfortable writing from. Let’s face it, when we’re talking about ‘science’ in TG fiction it’s more ‘science fiction’ than true science… unless you’re talking about hormone replacement and surgery. <br /><br />Certainly not all the time, but I believe a majority of TG fiction involving these two nearly interchangeable methodologies also comes down to intent. When magic is used and goes wrong, it’s more about lack of ability or lack of control. The wrongly worded wish, or the lack of will power. When science is used and goes wrong it’s more about the lack of knowledge. Didn’t read the fine print in the manual or didn’t calculate some portion into the equation. <br /><br />And one last thing…. God you’re making me feel old. I loved playing GTA:SA, considering it one of the best games. Only by reading this cap (and confirming it on Wikipedia) did I realize that GTA:SA has been out for almost 11 years now.
