Opinion: Why I can't go beyond the first 5 mins of Call of Duty: World At War

Nov 10th 2008 9:40PM (Joystiq)
And this is why I most weep. I enjoy history, it's a passion with me. Now before I go any deeper I'd like to point something out, I am 1/4 Japanese, so don't even think for a second that I'm being racist or biased against the Japanese culture, only their actions during WW2 and the pre40s invasion of China. This game is portraying a historical fact from world war 2. The Japanese were brutal, savage, and inhumane in the most extreme of cases. Take the "Alamo of the Pacific" incident for example, or the Japanese occupation of Wake Island as it's known for most. 98 civilians and military personnel were executed. These were prisoners of war used as slave labor, one escaped, was able to carve into a coral rock what had happened, was then recaptured and beheaded. The Bataan Death March, another atrocity committed by the Japanese forces in the Philippines. Go ahead and read about it, it's one of the worst atrocities committed by the Japanese against United States personnel. I think it's perfectly reasonable to portray the Japanese just as they were during World War 2. Which was savage, brutal, inhuman and completely unforgivable. Despite what the United States did to its Japanese American Citizens, it does not even begin to approach what the Imperial Japanese forces did to our service men, our citizens, and our allies. Most people today feel it's wrong to portray anything even approaching what had happened during World War 2 in games. Yet, if we deny historical fact, we essentially deny that it ever happened. Which as human beings, is the greatest of all atrocities committed upon ourselves.

To be honest, though I've enjoyed WoW for whatever time I've played it. Warhammer has always been a passion with me. I've always loved the Dwarves. Even though they didn't put in a Slayer Class which kinda stinks. I hate to say this but WoW is out of here if this game is good enough.

Just as a point of reference, unless it fires plastic BBs it's not an airsoft weapon. Plus I can find twelve different models of the 92F Beretta. It's not that uncommon of a pistol. So yeah.

Really, do you have the proof of that Platinum_skeet? Are you really going to take the word of that family after filming the kid for over 3 minutes and laughing?! I certainly ain't

ICED makes game out of Immigration debate

Feb 18th 2008 10:04PM (Joystiq)
Hell, 17 years old, I had to be taken to an emergency room up in Tucson, Arizona. I live 75 miles from the center of Tucson...I had to wait for over 3 hours in an American Hospital with internal bleeding, because of illegal immigrants. So could someone clarify as to WHY they were given precedence before an American citizen?

Being an American Citizen, born in this country, raised in this country, and watching this country's Military protect its laws for most of my life, all I can say is that the illegal immigrants in this country piss the hell out of me. They have no LEGAL right to be here, they have no CONSTITUTIONAL rights in this country, yet I see people sympathetic to them, people who are legal residents of this country and who enjoy the freedom of the constitution, yet feel that we should all ignore the law of our land because these illegal immigrants come from a country that cannot support them. I'm sympathetic, but if they keep crossing over here, doing the exact same thing they do across the boarder, how do they expect a better life? Why not go back to their country and TRY to fix their problems instead of running away from them? It's a matter of taking responsibility for your actions.
