GLOBAL OPS: a new Multiplay game by Barking Dog Studios, who
did Cactacylsm. The game is to be based around real world conflicts,
with levels mirroring current conflicts around the world. I got REAL interested
in it when I read a PC Gamer article saying there would be a NI Level...
But then I read this..........

QUOTE:
Unfortunately, much of this mantra has fallen on deaf ears around the globe.
Last month, a collective outcry from the UK wiped out Global Operation's plans
to include a Belfast mission that paralleled the ongoing IRA conflict in Ireland.
An initial plan of 16 missions has dropped down to 13, demonstrating the controversy
Global Operations has incited around the world. Producer Dan McBride has been
fielding questions regarding international issues. "We knew from the beginning
that we would be on the edge of controversy."

When I mentioned this to PREDATOR on ICQ, he said:
PREDATOR: Do the Brits really feel their people are so
weak minded that playing this game might turn them to
the IRA or something?
and
PREDATOR: Hehehe, I wish they had missions where you play
suicide bombers. They would be such fun! Trying to get past
security, into the most densely populated area before detonating!
Muhahahahahha!!!
Adm. Mark Sheppard: The jews would kill THAT feature :(
PREDATOR: Yep. But god damn, it would be soooo fun :D
PREDATOR: you'd get a score for the number killed and
wounded etc -so you'd have to time detonation *just right*.

We censor harmless bullshit like sex. We have RATING SYSTEMS for
ENTERTAINMENT. We have MOVIE THEATRES telling patrons that they can't
see what the fuck they want to see if they're not old enough. We have
WalMart, who sold a sexually-censored (not not violence-censored)
version of Duke Nukem 3D. If this is the kind of attitude that prevails
in America (aka, better to kill someone than to jerk off), then
Americans have their priorities SEVERELY fucked up. I'd RATHER live in
Europe. Have you ever been there? Censorship is nowhere NEAR the extent
that it is here.

The good kind, obviously.
C.S.Strowbridge
I find it frightening that people are on the Internet complaining about a
lack of porn. Rather reminds me of those people in India that are
surrounded by cows and starving to death.
And now for a short story.
Al Gore is standing at the checkout line at the Safeway. Bored he glances
around and sees a copy of "Big Tops" magazine, home of the bustiest women
around. He looks this way and that, then pulls the magazine off the rack
and starts thumbing through it, making deep sighing sounds and occassionally
rotating the magazine to get a better view.
Tipper walks up. "Al, I couldn't find the extra strength ExLax for you so I
just got a larger of the regular OH MY GOD!"
Al Gore folds up the magazine and hides it behind his back, babbling. "I
was... just.... looking at this..." pulls magazine out, "piece of filth!
Can you believe they have this here in the grocery store? Disgusting!"
"Yes," Tipper agrees. "I think we should add this to our list with bad
music lyrics and television violence. This needs to be stopped now!"
"Yes dear," Al says dejectedly. "Some day," he says quietly to himself,
"I'm going to invent a place that is saturated with pornography. There will
be advertisers and video merchants, smut peddlers of every size and shape
and technique. It'll be so full of porn you'll accidentally run into it at
least once a day. It'll be grand."
An upbeat musical score starts up as the camera pans around Al, pulling his
suit coat off and tossing it aside, the grocery shelves pull back and a
group of dancers comes kicking onto the scene for a rousing Mel Brooks-ish
musical number.
Al: We're going all on liiiiiiine.
Girls: We're getting off on liiiiiiiine.
Al: All the mags and dirty books
All without those dirty looks
I can see it all in time
And it will be yours and mine! 'Cause..
Girls: We're getting off on line.
Girls: We're getting off on line.
Al: Sexual acts of every kind
Every piece of filth we find
Things grotesque? Don't fret, we got 'em!
Techniques that were banned in Sodom!
Girls: We're getting off on line.
Girls: We're getting off on line.
Al: The time has come to spread the word
The Internet ain't for the nerd.
It's the funnest place, or ain't you heard?
Girls: From Sri Lanka across to Nome
It's the biggest hit of Greece and Rome
From New Zealand to Paris, France
Everyone! Take off your pants!
Al: The world is filled with porn you'll see
Girls: Across the land from sea to sea.
Al: And when we meet those SETI dudes.
Aliens: [running up] Take us to your asian nudes!
[Al and Aliens join the chorus girls in a big kick line; after a few kicks
fireworks begin to go off; banners with images of bestiality and fisting
unroll overhead]
All: We're getting off on line!
All: We're getting off on line!
Al: The time has come to take a stand!
If you're with me, raise your hand!
All: We're getting off on, getting off on, getting offfffff onnnnnnn
liiiiiiiiine!

Which is most of us. Last I heard the average age for a gamer was 25 or
27. And getting older every year. About time they start making games for
a mature audience.

Who are you calling psychologically disturbed? Millions of people like
shooter games. Damn, games companies have been making "Whack Saddam" or
"Whack Hitler" games for years - re creations of past or current real
life conflicts. Just because Belfast is on the list doesn't make it some
wrong or immoral.
These games don't make psychos. Any association is merely because
psychos seek them out to play them.

Liking shooting games isn't what makes Ryan psychologically disturbed.

The XBox, of course, being for gamers with some kind of developmental defect
that prevents them from growing properly?
Actually, that makes a lot of sense; go on then.
That's right. We can take on those whippersnappers any day. Today's games, they

This reminds me of when my high school was running a program to support
Catholic education in Haiti. On a few of the posters, they spelled
"literacy" incorrectly, and on another one, they said that Haiti's
"literacy rate was over 90%," and that we should be helping them learn
how to read. My school was filled with morons.
How very true.

Imagine that.
Excepting me, of course. I'm perfect.
Even though you said 'perfect', I'm going to discuss 'prefects'.
At my school, about 40 prefects are chosen every year from
the lower 6th form and I've been at the school for about five
years now but I wasn't made a prefect. However, these two
people, who joined the school in the lower 6th (so have been
at the school about 8 months) were made prefects. Therefore,
in their short time at the school, they have shown more worth
than I have in five years!
An average of less than one gun a week from these people, as opposed to
eg 18 weapons stolen from members of the public inside one week in Dade
County
Florida.
Comparing these figures, the vast majority of stolen guns must have been
stolen from members of the public and not the forces of law and order.
Thanks for proving our argument.
