there are still those on 'the right' who are against it, sure, but not like it once was

actually this reminds me

(oh, also.. the continual trend towards more realistic and immersive gameplay instead of it being rocketjumping and shit nowadays is interesting too)

Yeah

We went a full lap

And now the left bitch about vgs

but like, that voice actor's dad

seems genuinely appreciative of the fact they're making a game set in a war he participated in

realising this is how history stays alive

Yeah

Video games is a new form of storytelling media

lemmego find something that you and many others should watch

Starts off slow, very much worth a watch

I've seen it

You'll probably pause it at points

Pretty good video

Because of how fucking agitating the news clip footage is

Ha! Now think, that woman's son killed in Iraq; what is there to remember him other than a hole in the dirt and a piece of stone? Nothing. Absolutely nothing to help people understand what happened to him or his bravery. Instead, why wouldn't they campaign for an honor piece to be included in the game to commemorate the brave soldiers that went to fight? Typical numb in the head idiots, too few brain cells to just give it a bit of thought and too quick to lust for the attention included in being offended.

Hope she's happy that instead they got over dramatised essentially piss takes of war, must be a great honor for her son to be forgotten like that instead of remembered.```

If you want to play Halo-Online (PC, free) or World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (PC, Free) with us, type either `!halo` or `!wow`. See ya'll on the battlefield!

That's a good point

A lot of people still see video games as a childish thing

Or a silly thing

I still remember my pops seeing me play Settlers and referring to it as a 'silly little game'

My father don't like me playing that much

But he don't see it as a childish thing

I remember after going to a few LAN parties

And thinking how this should be turned into a competition

Have local tournaments, then state runoffs, then a national championship

Mentioned this to pops

shot it down

fast-forward ten years

more people watching fucking DOTA finals than the Stanley Cup

Stanley cup is the baseball one, right?

Games are here to stay, for a while at least

Until someone creates a full immersion in your head, something like sword art online

lol War Thunder is adding the Leopard 2

Is that gonna make you play it?

Fuck no
