Violence is Golden (COD MW2 Spoiler) Published on 09-25-2010
" Watching my young nephew playing COD MW2 single player, I wanted to see how he reacted to the Massacre in the Airport. I had played it the day before and I felt shocked by the scene and I tried to work out ways in which I could help the innocents – but that wasn’t possible – so I tried to hang back – but that’s not allowed. So finally, I held by nose (metaphorically speaking) and I reluctantly participated in the “action”. Watching Alex play the game, my draw dropped as he stepped out of the lift and without any hesitation started unload his weapon into the crowd. I watched in amazement as he strolled through the lobby, shooting dying people in the head and even shot those who might have otherwise have survived. After he had played the scene I hesitantly asked, “…Alex, that scene in the lobby, you joined in the massacre without giving it a thought, didn’t you.” Alex looked at me, almost sympathetically and said “…it’s a computer game, they are not real people”. Make of this, what you will, but there is something profound in their somewhere. God knows what point I am trying to make…but there it is, out of my head and into the world..hehe "

anyway, good to catch up with you man, hope to see you pop in more often once i finish coding more features this year! chat soon mate.. cheers from down under!
Hi. Good to hear from you. Took your recommendation some months ago to give Batllefiled Bad Company 2 a try - i am totally hooked. The Vietnam maps are the best maps i have ever played in a game, the atmosphere is amazing. Funnily enough, i am just about to start playing Black Ops again, but i must admit that i find the Muliplayer to be extreemly hard and lacking the sense of team play that features in Bad Company. But yes, i will be getting the new maps, smiles. Finished Assassins Creed a while ago and loved that. Now looking forward to Dragon Age and Steel Battalion (kinect version). Are you aware of any exciting games due in 2011?
So where have you been ScrewyLoot and what have you been playing lately mate?? just blackops?? Not long now till the new First Strike DLC hits, Feb 1.. Are you getting the black ops DLC pack?
Must say, the Massacre in the Airport was the only part where i have feelt the COD was an extremely violent and scary, was so wrapped up in the game that it took me a moment to realise what was happening, and if it would have been possible i would have finished the game without this sequense i think....But well as Alex said, It's a computer game, and they are not real people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
