| Sniper time - Porcupine (15/10/2002 7:43:09 AM) |
OK, it seems that the media are onto us, all computer game players are evil snipers. It's time for we players to break out the sniper rifles and take out a pitiful handful of allegedly innocent civilians before they round us all up, and force us to watch teletubbies and barney the dinosour for 24hrs a day.
A better idea than wasting time on civilians would be to take out the idiot MSNBC reporters and media people in general. Particularly those in marketing. I'd pay Aus$85 for a game like that. I'm sure Penny-Arcade would too.
The same media that beats up the story about a building that fell down in a town somewhere until the leader of that country had to go bomb the crap out of people he thought might have voted for the government that may have let the actual people stay in their country who might have done the deed. But not before demonising the ruling party to the extreme. "Oh they needed bombing." Never got to hear their side though. Odd, as the US insists that their speeches go out to anywhere they damn well please, and then they get all pissy when their speech is immediately followed by another program which tears apart exactly what was said in the speech, specifically picking up on double standards, pure lies, underlying motivations. Wouldn't it be nice to have a press like that, instead of bend-over sell-out journalism majors?
Excuse me while I go buy Silent Scope for the playstation and Operation Flashpoint or Rainbow Six Raven Shield for the PC to brush up my skills. GTA3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein had some great sniper action. I learn all my morals from computer games because mum and dad are too interested in having a life and career to raise kids. Maybe they both have to work to support a family because businesses have to be totally profit / share holder focused and can't afford to pay one person enough to raise a family. Maybe we are all being pushed into a society where we don't care for, or even fear our neighbours, and forget about living near your relatives. Raising kids is solely a parental effort, nobody else must interfere.
Perhaps Mafia might be a goody - think I'll actually buy me some of that classic action.
The media is pretty stupid. If all they target is the lowest common denominator, then that is how they will appear. I'm pretty sure most people are cynical enough to see it, but the government doesn't seem to think so, and we've all become so complacent about it. Judgment day has to be near, surely.
Have I missed anything? Hell yes, but it's getting late. There's too many points I'm trying to make without being clear on any one of them. |

I had a good laugh when Nine News said that terrorists might hit parliament house. Can’t think of a more deserving bunch of ass wipes. If the terrorists need some more scope training I’d donate a ps2 or three so they can hone their skillz.

I think that we may need a section devoted soley to Porcupine's political commentary...

Its about time America started looking at their own foreign policies and wonder why so many countries have such a deep hatred of their government.
It wouldn't take an Einstein to figure out why America (or the Leader of the free world as they like to be called) is hated so much.
As far as I am concerned, with the Media controlled by America we may as well be calling Western Society a dictatorship!
