[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?
-
Gotta be honest, this was the best roll I ever fell for
-
After playing this game I suddenly realized Kim Jong un was right all along
-
When idiocy is perfected and people try to ascribe poorly thought out meaning to relatively simple things.

Edited by bLooM_pHaZe: 10/12/2015 2:49:50 AMThe fact that anybody ACTUALLY watches Faux News - legitimately or otherwise - is, in and of itself...an act of anti-intelligence and a crime against society. [spoiler]welcome to the Republican state...not enough lol' to enact.[/spoiler]

Edited by Fal Chavam: 10/12/2015 2:08:04 AMIt's meant to bring in more views for their station. Free advertisement, like this post, gets word out about Fox and it makes people check it out. Views go up. They get money. Best thing they ever said on TV. Interesting fact did you know in 1996 43,000 Americans were injured by toilets and only 13 Americans were injured by sharks. Who knew. Watch this. Ignore the first part of the video. [url=http://WWW.YouTube.com/watch?v=tPpBlDaKM_o[/url] game theory.

Well played grunt well played indeed
-
As long as people don't commit suicide (wipe) in real life I'm ok with destiny. Is the only game that I have played for more than a year non stop. I know the difference between the game and real life so will be ok. Remember guys destiny is a game enjoy it.
-
Did they really write this? It's like the whole Doom controversy. I'm pretty sure most kids realize that this is fictional and that wiping is not comparable to actually killing yourself.
-
Bravo sir
-
Our expert researchers hahahaha
-
All for one elaborate Rick roll... Almost fell for it too. But +1 for funny story lol
-
Edited by Witch Hammer: 10/12/2015 1:31:05 AMThat's wrong. The Traveler is a metaphor for the anti-Christ, and the Speaker is the false prophet. Religious themes are common in Joes writing EDIT: Just clicked the link end I'm not surprised. I am still right though
-
Da hell is this? Fox is definitely over conspiracy people with nothing else to do. fox is a bunch of idiotic conspirators with a bit of money that allows them to spread stupid stuff.

Edited by Mr JJ Rogers: 10/12/2015 1:36:57 AMYes, because of a video game I am now going to go become a terrorist, drug abuser, thief, blind follower, and a robot. What is up with people thinking that teens and younger are so stupid "So a character in a video game is a bad person, so that means I can become a bad person too!!" No, that's not how people with even half a brain work. So stop blaming video games for those very bad kids and blam the ducking parents for not teaching them something called disapline. [spoiler]I didn't read the entire thing, but my point is still somewhat valid for other things[/spoiler]
-
They're right on one thing, this game does make me wanna kill myself sometimes
-
They're right.

Edited by SIAL0QUENT: 10/12/2015 2:12:51 AMIf you check the link, this is a Rick Roll. The funny thing is, this sounds like something you would actually hear on Fox News.

Edited by werd5273: 10/12/2015 1:43:01 AMAre u faking kidding me, I've wiped 3 times in real life and am now a billionaire, and got 35 bitches sucking it, and a year 2 ghallarhorn with no nerf. Dude, wiping in real life is great, infact fox should try it sometime...
-
This can't be serious.
-
This is hilarious.
-
I like how no one actually checks the link
-
Lmao you bastard you got me
-
-
-blam!- it
-
Why would you read/watch Fox News? They're barely a step above tabloid reporting.
-
Well it looks like somebody didn't get the legendary engram they desired tisk tisk smh
