I don't feel at all bad about simulating immoral actions per se....I play a rogue in WoW.  We have a skill called "backstab."

But that might change in the context of a simulation of a historical war, particularly if the graphics are good and the violence is explicit.  I don't play those games though, just not really interested.

It's just a friggin game.  I love military shooter games.  They are some of the best!  Especially Rainbow 6 (the original).  Most of them have moral ends regardless if you're a "state employee" in the game or not.  Even if they don't, who cares?  Hasn't anyone played Fallout 3?  The expansions have some games within them with very questionable, morally gray choices to choose from, but that is one of the best games on the market now!

Love that game. If anyone here feels any moral qualms about playing it, they can just hunt down all the enclave soldiers and kill them or something haha

There are millions of additional web-pages in hundreds of languages that detail human rights abuses and genocides
extensively.

We will leave you with these thoughts:

There are only two types of human beings

One type just wants everyone to leave everyone else alone

The other type refuses to do so while they still breathe

One type knows that an armed society is a polite one and fences make good neighbors

The other type wants their victims unarmed and helpless and refuses to acknowledge or respect Life, Liberty, or Property




hey...once you're shackled, imprisoned, and/or murdered...kinda hard to do much of anything then...

A couple of years ago I photocopied an article from PC Magazine by Dan Costa because the commentary rang true. I've
actually got the copy in front of me and I found the article on the interwebs for your pleasure(or disgust).

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2190739,00.asp

The news this morning brought the news of record sales for the latest video terror storm as you can see below.

My first thought upon seeing this was "we're all mercenaries and assassins now"


Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Assassins Creed 2

I know I wrote some commentary recently referring to the U.S. Army and their recruiting video game but for some reason I
can't find it this morning(I might have suddenly been so disgusted with the the topic I just slammed the delete button
and walked away)

Here is a link to the army shit:

two minutes into viewing that website and I'm done...over and out...
