Um... You guys do know that all the reputable websites are running this news and that Joystiq didn't break it, right? Check the link in the Joystiq article. GameSpot's running the story too.

Best-case scenario is that E3's being downsized and even that's a big deal.

ESA president Doug Lowenstein will likely announce the news some time within the next 48 hours, possibly on Monday.

Even if they downsize, the event loses a lot of its appeal; not to mention all the money that the event brings into the city.

If something does happen, then there's got to be more to this story.

Sleep paralysis is a completely different beast, Xk. Having had a bout with it two years ago lasting a few months, and suffering from periodic episodes of hypnagogic hallucination as of late, I definitely know the difference. Plus I can move everything else, and sensation does not revive them... It's basically like what Tarale says. There's no feeling or reaction in them. Though, I guessing in Tarale's case it's due to a combination of poor bloodflow and sleep deprivation - you did say it occurs at night, correct?

What do you want from me? I made a topic about 5000. That and 10000 are the only power stones worth paying attention to.

If I finally get internet to myself I might just run a TA one. Dunno if I'll participate or not, though.

Xkeeper, have you tried the Suneye method for lucid dreaming? It's said to have a 95%+ success rate. And the end result is sleep paralysis. I think it went something like this.

Step 1) Go to sleep for five hours. Set an alarm clock to wake you up.

Step 2) Stay awake for 20 minutes to an hour. Do not eat or drink anything. If possible, try to read things pertaining to lucid dreaming or astral projection to stay focused.

Step 3) Get back in bed. Lay in a comfortable position facing upwards with your hands to your sides.

Step 4) Close your eyes and look towards the middle of your forehead. It may be straining, but that's how it is supposed to be.

Step 5) Repeat a phrase indicating your intentions 15-30 times while still looking towards your forehead. For example, "I will have a lucid dream. I will remember everything that happens during this dream. I will be in full control of this dream."

Step 6) Relax your eyes and begin counting up from 1. Most people have trouble falling back asleep after being up and moving for 20 minutes after a long sleep.

That should be it. You will probably have a bunch of very fucked up dreams, and then you will have a lucid one (you'll know which one is lucid because it'll feel different from others). It's your choice as to what to do from there. Just keep in mind that when you wake up, you'll be paralyzed. After a few seconds, then you "feel" a rapid shaking. It's actually nothing, so there is no need to panic. Just relax let it subside, unless you want to astral project. I won't go into detail on that.
