God, that book was boring as hell. Had to read it in HS. Only got interesting when Piggy got pwned by a boulder. It's the message that counts anyway. If not, for the actual entertainment value.[QUOTE="SaintWalrus"]

[QUOTE="Genetic34"]They'll always be pixels... You're missing the point. What creates the sensation of enjoyment in killing virtual people? Answer: Knowing that it isn't real. Why do you enjoy the thought of Killing, even if it isn't real, in the first place. What makes it more fun than, say a puzzle game We're going deeper than the surface, we're going inside of the psyche itself. What makes the notion of, splattering a person's blood all over the wall appealing to us? Just the sheer thought, even if it isn't real.the image above is pretty much what i'm talkin about doing this for fun and escapism really a terrible notion if you explain it out loud , specialy the context between reality andillusion when the illusion is becomming more and more like reality makes me wonder why this is fun people should be horrified by this morality is not something that satyed with us maybe i dunno, but its a scary concept for the entirity future of the human race , i'm just waiting for a reality show where deathrow inamates do taks to live we are nearly there
and then the post explaisn how his children will be taught the diffrence between illusion and reality, when this is an exprience that will effect his thought process, i dunno i'm just concerned by this

Why? If people spent more time combing the news for stuff that actually mattered, I wouldn't need to.[QUOTE="SaintWalrus"]That happens everyday whats your point? he is a fan why you hating? And this is exactly what's wrong with society. You're conditioned to think these celebrity happenings as special Well guess what. DIVORCES happen everyday, why should this be any different?And today,
5 soldiers died
A family lost its father
And a kid was bullied to death for being gay
But that's all stupid crap that nobody cares about
Anyway, OP, go on about this divorce.

thats the problem if somebody wanted to fight a war becuase of the propganda they learnt from a game as you said 'war is a terrible' i wouldnt liek the idea of my son being brainwashed that way and illision is capturing reality and its getting blurred because of that and its only going to get more intense and i dont get how i'm naive if somebody fight a real war because they played a fake one, and yes thats a terrible thing jin my opinion joining the army is a waste of a life

You need to go back and learn the definition of propaganda. If a story is propaganda then I hope you're willing to call every piece of fiction ever created propaganda. You're speaking like someone who has NEVER been in the military. Where are people confusing the game with reality? Certainly not people who join the military and realize they don't have unlimited sprint, their aim isn't supernatural, and they all can't jump into a plane, chopper or tank and use them like aces.
Just because you join the military(as I've already said) doesn't mean you're going to experience war.
I'm studying a masters degree in propoganda :) this is part of my study.
in a sence every advertisement is propganda, for a brand and now even presidents are copying the branding style and makign there own propoganda. you know it as 'public relations' which means propganda it was renamed after worldwar 2 becuase the word propoganda became dirty. A good person to look up is edward bernay on youtube he is the king of propganda, and why women smoke :)
but back to the issue. Every war game recently has been Middle east bad guys western country saviours of the world right? why havnt we seen the story from the other side in a computer game? the closes thing i can think is a game called freedom fighters when russia takes over america and you fight the russians for your country back...i'm guessin that could be viewd as propganda? i dont think i'm goin to be playing as some one from afghaniistan soon liberating my country from US imperial rule after they killed my family?
if people join the military because of a video game thats some good propganda or advertisement as you view it.
If you are majoring in propaganda.... You are a massive moron and deserve any financial misfortune which you will accrue in the very soon, very real, and very scary future.
