Uh.....the Red Cross does realise that video games aren't real right?

Apparently not.
Hell I've driven around in the Grand Theft Auto games picking up hookers and then beating them up for their money. Doesn't mean I'd do it in real life or condone someone else doing it irl.

Let's face it, by this kind of "accounting" the vast majority of gamers would be criminals on some level.

Just for you:

FUCK OFF!!!

Sorry!



Nico Bellic meets John Woo + Wilhelm screams = epic

AAAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

Fuck off!!!

I hereby vow to machine gun every pixel I see providing medical aid to my enemy in BF3.

Those wankers can suck it.

Are these people retarded? What part of "It's a game" is confusing them? What's next? Go after people who play Monopoly for engaging in predatory business practices?

That's it. I'm only ever playing CT from now on. I'll also setup a Macro spamming Messages with Miranda Rights. I do this for my own protection.


I heard it suggested that this article is inaccurate and/or from a Joke website. So no one should knee-jerk about it yet.

Lol there should be games where you get to piss off oddly uptight groups of people who get all hung up on minor things. Like PETA, religious fanatics, and these guys.

Or a game where you hunt and kill these groups! Bonus points for force feeding some PETA vegan a ham sandwich.

There needs to be more civillians in COD and BF. There were some in the single player missions for COD:MW2. And you could always teamkill with the flamethrower in Black ops. But that isn't as fun.

If you get too many civvies in MW2, you lose. But if you use C4 on an exploding barrell, you can get a much higher body count before you lose.

Feel free to skip this, I'm in a bit of a ranting mood.

I suppose I am an evil bastard. In the last year alone, I have:

Slit a man's throat from behind and saved a man's life in another.
Shot a man in cold blood and threw my body in front of the bullet for another.
Removed a family's home, and constructed a hospital for the community.
Engaged in nuclear brinkmanship and supported nuclear disarmament.
Condemned scientific advancement and discovered endless sources of energy.
Brought my rampaging horde upon villages and defended villages from rampaging hordes.
Fostered peace with the Romans, and gone to war with the Persians.
I have torn down civilizations and built even greater ones.
Strip mined worlds while terraforming others.
Bombed one world out of existence and gave another defenses so that will never happen.
Let loose the gods of war and held closed the gates of oblivion.
Summoned demons into the world and exorcised demons out of it.
Ended the world and created it.
Destroyed the gods and became a god.

I am very curious as to which games you are talking about, they sound awesome.

Too late. My effort to commit genocide on pixels continues.

All pixels must die.

Hitler would approve...

Hitler? Pah.



Hitler is for tourists.

And all of those Muslim Brotherhood types you're defending in the child rape Fatwa topic? Them too?

DEFENDING?!

Are you fucking stupid?

Just because I point YOU out as a racist does NOT mean I condone ANYTHING that group says nor do I consider what they say to be the word of the entire Muslim race.

Seriously get bent dude.

If you define criminality as supporting the crop of unimaginative, rehashed garbage that gets passed off as a modern game...then yes...the gamers are criminals.

Garbage that looks pretty is still garbage.

Call me when they come out with something new.

[Freakinoldguy]

I guess the Red Cross is pissed that the game programmers haven't built in any palestinian human shields or properly glorified the armed struggle of peace loving Hamas against the devil Israel.

First you allowed us to be poisoned with tainted blood which killed and is still killing thousands of us and now you want us arrested as criminals for pushing the keys on a keyboard.

If I may be so bold. When the Red Cross pays for the damages to the sick and dying that they caused then and only then can they take the moral fucking highground.

Now excuse me while I go kill something.
