[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]

What do you guys think? I personally think Fox News is insane!
Please keep it clean and friendly. Last time I showed you guys this, some people got a little out of hand.
Edit: Alright, who bumped this?

The link is broken. I call bullshit.
-
People are such sheep. "Some guy one the Internet said it, it must be true. Why would I look at his source??"
-
Teaches us to blindly follow the Speeker.. Like religion teaches us to blindly follow a book of paradoxical hypocrisy...

Bungie needs to nerf TheHungryGrunt. This is the third rick roll using this identical topic and he is still getting a majority of the people to believe him. Bungie please buff our forum users intelligence and nerf the OP. Otherwise we cannot have any fair discussions because the forum users are not intelligent enough at their current level.

What the heck is this? Really?
-
Here in Italy there are some stuff about videogames on the news, mainly things about GTA. I've ever thought that those news were bullshit and made no-sense and I thought that we were touching the bottom but now that I've read this I think we are not in such a bad position ahahaha

This is the same news agency that thinks Donald Trump would make a good President

It's Fox News, why does anyone ever believe them?

Edited by zombiehaddock: 7/20/2015 5:33:21 PMThat's hilarious but I expect no less of Murdoch owned press, the bloke is a spiv and a scumbag. Everyone knows the only thing corrupting the youth of America is the foreign and domestic policy of the USA.

Nice lol. Had me for a second. Lol

I lol'd when they started bringing in north korea
-
"Expert researchers" I'm pretty sure they're just Chinese communist spies trying to minipulate our good American citizens into thinking we're not raising our youth right. They should learn our culture and accept that guns and violence is truly american.

What?!
