Video Games

True , COD4 and a few other military games are actually helped by the military. COD: Modern Warfare 2 was helped by Navy Seals. United States army help fund the game 'Americas Army' and provided it with alot of resources for the development of the game , and was used by the national guard as recruiting and is also seen in alot of gaming magazines. With that said , not all games purposes are to reach out for recruiting efforts. There are many kid's that will never join the military whether it be for political , or personal reasons , and just like everyother game and there fantasy world they try to stimulate and create a fantasy world of realism , not so much for recruiting techniques.

I highly doubt Modern Warfare's main purpose here was to contribute to military recruitment numbers. As for americas army...yeah , that's what they are kinda going for , but they don't hide it neither , and in my opinion is a shitty game anyways.

 

nad u can't have this without entrenched ideological capitalism/dictatorship, govt would be fucked without it and visa versa and capitalists will work with anybody so let em work for us, actually not kinda and i don't mean marketing surveys

 

Cheers to yall, I think games are fine if thats what they are but if societies so setup, to be frigged that games become lessons then NO!!!

heres a firsbee now fuckoff!!! if they endenture themselves lettem know taking money from mouth's of babes um like in Iraq it will not be tolerated! but only if ya think its important like in the US etc, don't stop games or even violent games but thats all they should be fo realz, think they call it liberal thinking, that words been usurped too on all sides

Aussie just wants to be the US... and we just wanna be whoever will give us cash, naaa thanks, i like the air clean cheers beers now lets ride

 

Anxiety69, the American Legion post in my hometown hosts an annual HALO tournament where they can subtly recruit kids who are way below the legal age. An Army Experience Center just opened near where I live in Philly. It's full of games and simulators to draw the ADD generation likes moths to a flame.

I enjoy computer games because they're easy to pirate. Honestly, I wonder what the point of playing anything besides Starcraft is. If you'll forgive me waxing nostalgic, I preferred video and computer games back when they were made by nerdy hobbyists who were trying to create innovative and novel interfaces. These days, studios just keep making the same game over and over with 'better" graphics and a higher price tag each time. First person shooters are fun and all, but I don't really care to follow them past Unreal Tournament (my poor computer would never run them anyway).

 

HAHAHA! THE first thread that everyone here is into

Well... im a video game fan as well. I LOVE violent video games (FPS, RPG'S ones) like Halo, Fallout. I HATE buying them though. I think nex gen games are shit compared to old school games (pre-xbox, ps2, though they do have some solid titles). I would either borrow or trade in games because video gaming can be an expensive habit but i have a job now that lets me rent free games so thats good for me.

I just got this new one called prototype. Where basically you go around NYC and just kill everyone which to me is fun. But i do know its only a video game. I absolutely HATE sports games. As for Call of Duty? Call of Duty 2 was my favorite. The modern warfare ones are alright but the multiplayer and generality of the game sucks. (Though the one mission where you shoot up an airport of civilians is intense)

Goldeneye was the shit, ive done the same before as you Spider.

I can go on forever.

 

I love video games too. I hate the fact that they are tied to huge corporations (microsoft, sony, nintendo (actually the worst environmentally, will try find the article about that), but I think that video games can exist outwith a capitalist framework, and come the revolution I'd still like to see video games being produced.

I generally buy my games second hand, and I do play military type shooters (COD etc).

Have you guys heard the excellent Propagandhi song aimed at "America's army"?

http://propagandhi.com/lyrics/potemkin/ - lyrics are there if you scroll down a bit.

P.S Carcass - I hope you are referring to the original UT! Can't believe its ten years old, and I've been playing it for that long too!

 

UT was the shit, seriously I think at least at one point I spent most of my waking hours playing UT
Especially the custom maps and mods were fun, for a while.

 

So the real question no one here has asked yet is, whats everyones xbox 360 live gamer tag, and who wants to fall victim to my sniper skills in modern warfare 2?

Mine is Aggro Joe
Add me.

I have a ton of other stuff Ill dust off and play online, Unreal tournament 3, orange box, all 3 call of dutys, gears of war 1, lame halo 3, perfect dark zero, Blazblue, and tony hawk project 8(the last good tony hawk game if you ask me)

Oh, and I will warn everyone now, I am a beast at Marvel Vs Capcom 2....if anyone is any good at that game PLEASE play me, I need some real competition on that thing.

 

Also, is anyone here into the Modding Community?
This is where real video game anarchist Ideals come into play, by modding your systems to play copied games/roms/emulators etc.

I think every system I own is modded Minus my gamecube and 360.

I came into posession of a modded xbox 1 with a 500GB HD....anything you could ever name old school video game wise is on there from every NES/SNES game ever made, to PS1 ISOs....damn that Policenauts translation rules..

 

*sigh*
mine is General Meatwad

i have no microphone, and usually there is a number of other people playing on my account
but ill add you...

 

I don't own any consoles, except for a NES, GB, GBA and an atari, so online-console-play isn't in it for me. Anyways, if you ever see someone crawl around with the nick I use on here, it's probably me

 

haha yeah then at the end you get shot in the face
i like how they included that as a deep undercover CIA thing
shit like that really happens

someone else beat the game before i could play through it, but *SPOILER* i love the end where you pull a knife out of your chest and whip it into the skull of the leader of the U.S. forces (at least he is the leader in the game) then get picked up by some Russian in a helicopter. maybe the sequel will be a radical anarchist game? doubt it tho...

 

Cable, Iron Man, War Machine. And Magneto, Juggernaut and Sentinel.

 

I recognize no other. Redeemer camping ftw.

 

haha im playing through xenogears right now

 

Ultimate storyline. Ultimate soundtrack. Id is all you need to know.
Fucking mind blowingly amazing that game, I Maxed out the clock on disc 1 before I got to disc 2.

 

wow, i came home tonight, hoping to get on my xbox after a couple weeks of not playing to add one of you as my friend, and what do you know... ring of death, code E 74 which means general hardware failure.

haha fuck my life, anyways ill let you know if i get it fixed or something...
