The thing again I want you to think about is,
再強調一次，大家想一下
don't look at these graphics and think of that's the way it is.
游戲將來會是什么樣子
Think about that's where we are right now,
想一下我們現在在哪里
and the curve that we're on means that this is going to continue to get better.
再根據那個發展曲線推算一下，將來的游戲會發展成什么樣子
This is an example of the kind of graphics you need to be able to draw
如果你現在想進入游戲領域的話
if you wanted to get a job in the video game industry today.
你就得能畫出這樣的畫面
You need to be really an incredible artist.
你得是一個非常有才華的藝術家
And once we get enough of those guys,
一旦我們有了足夠的這樣的人，
we're going to want more fantasy artists that can create places we've never been to before,
我們就會需要更多的幻想藝術家來創作出我們從沒去過的地方
or characters that we've just never seen before.
和我們從未謀面的人
So the obvious thing for me to talk about today is graphics and audio.
很明顯今天我說的都是計算機圖形和聲音
But if you were to go to a game developers conference,
但是如果你去參加一個游戲開發者大會
what they're all talking about is emotion, purpose, meaning, understanding and feeling.
你會發現那里的人都在談論情緒，目的，意義，理解，感情
You'll hear about talks like, can a video game make you cry?
你會聽到像這樣的問題：一個游戲可以讓你流淚嗎？
And these are the kind of topics we really actually care about.
這才是我們真正關系的話題
I came across a student who's absolutely excellent at expressing himself,
我遇到這樣一個很有才華的學生，他很善于表現自己
and this student agreed that he would not show his video to anybody until you here at TED had seen it.
他同意把他的這段視頻最先放給TED上的觀眾看
So I'd like to play this video.
現在我想開始放這段視頻
So this is a student's opinion on what his experience of games are.
這是一個學生對于游戲的看法
I, like many of you, live somewhere between reality and video games.
我，就像你們一樣，生活在游戲和現實生活之間
Some part of me -- a true living, breathing person --
作為一個生命有呼吸的個體，我的一部分
has become programmed, electronic and virtual.
已經變成了一個被編程過的虛擬的電子體
The boundary of my brain that divides real from fantasy has finally begun to crumble.
我的大腦中把現實與虛擬世界區分開的那個界線終于開始漸漸消失
I'm a video game addict and this is my story.
我是一個游戲愛好者，這是我的故事
In the year of my birth the Nintendo Entertainment System also went into development.
我出生的那年，任天堂開始開發他們的娛樂系統
I played in the backyard, learned to read, and even ate some of my vegetables.
童年的我，在后院里玩耍，學習認字，甚至有時候吃自己種的蔬菜
Most of my childhood was spent playing with Legos.
我的童年大部分時間花在玩樂高玩具上
But as was the case for most of my generation,
但是作為我們這一代，那是平常不過的
I spent a lot of time in front of the TV.
除此以外，我還經常看電視
Mr. Rogers, Walt Disney, Nick Junior,
Mr. Rogers, 迪斯尼, Nick Junior
and roughly half a million commercials have undoubtedly left their mark on me.
還有無數個電視廣告已經無疑都在我心中留下了印記
When my parents bought my sister and I our first Nintendo,
當我爸媽給我和我妹妹買了第一臺任天堂的時候
whatever inherent addictive quality this early interactive
不管它有多好玩，總之
electronic entertainment possessed quickly took hold of me.
它一下子占據了我的生活
At some point something clicked.
好像一切都不謀而合
With the combination of simple, interactive stories
通過簡單互動的故事情節
and the warmth of the TV set, my simple 16-bit Nintendo
還有溫熱的電視機，我的16位任天堂
became more than just an escape.
已經不僅僅是一種我對生活得逃避
It became an alternate existence, my virtual reality.
而變成了另外一種存在形式，我的虛擬現實
