[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

This litterally made me laugh so hard...

This is the most ridiculous -blam!-ing thing ive ever read.

Edited by Blackjack 423: 10/11/2015 5:34:50 AMI swear I saw a video today where some guardians killed the speaker by pushing him off with the purple ball. Also, they're assuming we care enough about the story to even acknowledge either of those the speaker or the traveler. I honestly forget they even exist when I play destiny [spoiler]Just read the tags, link wanted to send me to YouTube. Great troll sir bravo[/spoiler]

What the hell did I just read

Bump lol

What a load of BS!!! That they compare the Speaker to North Korea and Kim Jong Un is so hilarious 😅😅😅

Edited by Smoking St0gies: 10/1/2015 5:35:41 AMI love how 2 out of the three things they point out are ones people practically don't give a -blam!- about. Seriously, when was the last time you heard anyone talking about the Speaker, or even the Traveller? And about "wiping", yeah, the real-life equivalent is horrible, but who's stupid enough to think that it's a good idea? EDIT: Well I feel stupid now. Good job though, that really seems like something FOX News would make up. It's not that far off. That's some gr8 b8.

Dat source

Lmaoo i lost it at Kim jong un 😂

It's ok, apparently it only affects the 'youth of America' so the rest of the world is fine.
