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."
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.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
no, not obama either.. None of those jerk offs get my vote... I wont be playing COD either so thats a triple negative
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 :(
