But put me in front of an old-school pinball machine and just step back to watch Rainman at work.

However, for what this game appears to be, I may go out and buy it “just because”.

also…….

Cmdr. Dick Marcinko’s “Rogue Warrior” series has the first book made into a movie and about to be released……. NO WAY that can be spun left…. no way.

Maybe he should have called it Titanic: the sequel.

But my kids can kick my butt.
I would rather have them play this game then
sitting around watching most of the trash on TV.
Our family hardly watches the Network Big 3….

Which makes them fun to play. If your enemies are Middle Eastern terrorrists then they wear turbans and have beards. Many of them are like movies before we were hit with all PC all the time from Hollywood.

A game came out years ago for the PS2 called “Black Hawk Down” it was really good. It did not sugar coat the Somali mission but let you be either a US Army Ranger or eventually a Delta Force Spec Op soldier. You had missions and you tried to complete them helping your buddies and trying not to die. You could protect a food convoy or rescue trapped and ambushed UN troops. But the very fact there was little or no political message defaults many of these games into the “conservative” worldview..

Somewhere around Langey VA, There’s some airforce type sitting at a console flying a predator in the mid east. Now that’s real gaming.

Hollywood could have been in on the video, motion and all of the other things to make remote warefare possible. The same goes for the backseat of our operational fighter bombers. Don’t worry however, I know a gamer that provides games for the backseat. They them to check out the electronics in F-18′s.

Our new soldiers know about gaming too. They will be ready for the future as the battlefield becomes fought more with robots. Yep, Hollywood really missed the boat here.

American games shows that Capitalism isn’t dead- yet.
How long before the Obama administation issues new guidlines for games requiring them be “fair & balanced” in their portrayal of “extremists.”

…the award for best picture went to an Italian film with English sub titles about a Jewish piano player instead of giving the award to “Saving Private Ryan” which took most of the other film awards that year. It was a matter of principle to Michael Moore and his anti war allies that Picture Of The Year could not go to a film depicting patriotism, sacrifice and military heroism in such high regard.

had our gallant Soviet allies remained allied with Germany or had somehow managed to sit it out. The whole international left went from anti-war, sabotage war production, etc. to “Second Front Now” on June 22, 1941.

It’s my own little boycott against the Hollywood Left. And it kinda torques me that my last boxoffice expenditure was Castaway with Tom Hanks, but I was naive to Hollywood back then. In these last 9 years, I haven’t missed it a bit and saved a TON of cash!

Mega-millions “blockbuster of special effects” where the plot (from the commercials) looks like “bad caucasian invaders want to slaughter noble indigenous peoples”…
Wow… that almost gets me going… another morality tale about how evil we are thinly disguised as science fiction.
That just makes me want to jump up and run to the theaters…

I had to drive my two young cousins to the theater for the movie two nights ago – so, yes, I am speaking from the perspective of someone who did see the movie.

I was frankly surprised at how Cameron treated those aliens in the movie. It is a fiction, so I even accepted this ridiculous premise about how the nature is all connected like a huge organism, and that there is a tree of souls. But then those aliens turned out to act exactly like how indigenous Amazonian or Indonesian tribes reacted when the civilization reached them, No, it was even worse – those aliens precisely reflected what *we* think of those tribes, not how people in those tribes actually reacted. The fact is that most of those human tribes adapted technology. And yes, ones who clung on to their beliefs perished. But to Cameron, those facts must have been very inconvenient truth indeed.

Basically, the movie reflected how the liberals view the people they claim to care about , i.e. “We don’t care what you think is the best. We know what’s best for you, so shut up and do what we tell you to.” I really should rather have rented and watched ‘Pocahontas’ – at least I would have avoided a 2.5 hour lecture that way.

I am also trying to get over this simple fact: there are plenty of rocks in that world. So why do I never once see an alien pick one up and throw it? Even Ewoks threw rocks at Imperial AT-ST walkers!

…in which you massacre an airport full of civilians. Not cool.
