Since I like to watch movies, I occasionally come down with a screenplay bug.  A screenplay bug is that buzzing one gets inside his head when a neat storylines strikes.  This time its a story about an old man with Alzheimer's disease who forgot everything about himself and is left only with his online identity, specifically his MMORPG character.

He is taken care of by a nursing home staff whom he doesn't know nor care about.  Doctors decided that MMORPG is the best therapy for him so he plays it all day.  While he is playing. he knows exactly who he is because his name is on the screen.  There is no purpose, except surving from moment to moment instead of staring at the wall all day.

While the story would be near impossible to tell visually, it was compelling enough to buzz me all day today.  Now that I spit it out onto my blog, I hope it's gone.  I do wonder though whether video games are good for people with Alzheimer's disease.
