-Stupid shit makes me angry and I say stupid shit. My apologies to all Irish Nationalists that may have been offended earlier. Cultures are invaluable, but so is economic development, so I really get confused and sporadically militant on one side or the other.
-I wish I was a hundred times better at Warhawk. I was doing shit-bad in a server, couldn't capture the flag, but somehow was still ranked 4 in the server. That's weird.
-Also, in relation to Warhawk: I love playing it with my friends. I can barely stand playing it by myself. It gets quickly repetitive: kill the dude, get the flag, take the bases. Playing with my friends, those goals get quirkier, like drive into your friend's jeep to make him drown in the block of water (it's a block...like a wall), or trick your friend into getting into your plane so you can smash it into walls until the plane explodes, or mine your friend's tank to make it easier for him to die, or block the exit of a base when your friend has the flag, or set down all your mines in front of an AFK friend and wait for them to return to blow them all up (thus killing you both). In contrast, the frequent humorless, unwarrented team-killing by accident or negligence when playing alone leads me to hate every other team member, and consider them as just murders I didn't have a good excuse for yet.
THAT'S A REALLY CREEPY LINE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I have a lot of other things to do, why would I pick Warhawk over them unless I could use it as a means to what I really like: deep human interaction.
-It frightens me sometimes that a lot of video games are centered around killing. In Warhawk, I give it a different meaning, like, "We, as a team, are testing and developing our cognitive ability to overcome obstacles given certain supplies and restrictions against another randomly-assembled group of human beings. Through this process, both sides of the struggle are able to learn more efficient means to solve consistently-appearing problems while at the same time enjoying the experience."
-And there are other ends served too, like I think violent games and movies give us an appreciation for civilization. I remember playing Call of Duty 4 or Resistance: Fall of Man and being overwhelmed by how hellish war is. I feel like policymakers feel comfortable resorting to violent rather than diplomatic means due to lack of experience with War, but video games can help mimic that hell on earth.
-I think part of this escapist article's point is that not only do videogames help spark discussion between children and parents on the aforementioned "War Blows" idea, but also that it gets kids off the streets and less bored, because for whatever reason, bored kids start gangs and graffiti shit. That's my impression anyway. My parents made me suck at little-league soccer and basketball to keep my ass out of a gang, keep me from making pipe-bombs, selling drugs for bigger kids, whatever. That's a really extreme situation, but still...useful.
-blah blah blah, You're on a blog!
