PureSophistry examines the pitfalls and pleasures associated with Gaming and Politics, siting directly the case of one candidate being attacked for comments she made while playing World of Warcraft-
"Fast forward to the Fall of 2012. Lachowicz has been involved in Maine politics for some time and has decided to run as a Democratic Candidate for the State Senate. The Maine Republican Party has dug up a number of Colleen’s old forum posts and in game messages and have launched a campaign at www.colleensworld.com, ridiculing and attacking Lachowicz for her time in World of Warcraft and many of the statements connected to her through her guild and gameplay."
Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.
Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.
Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?
I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.
Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
The Black Ops Gulf War leaks continue with a list of weapon descriptions giving more info on what you can expect from new and returning weapons.

Ah how nice. the Maine GOP is reminding us again how progressive they are. videogames are bad and anyone who does so is clearly unfit to lead. how quaint.
Does Romney even believe in video games? I mean, you have to use science to build all that technology and science scares the bejeesus out him!
Have they already forgotten about this: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Only an idiot would put their vote on someone like that. Not that I support any of them, I'm not even an american, but Obama is clearly the lesser of two evils.
ron paul shouldve been our next president :(
