[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?
-
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaa. You had me at "Fox News", hilarious.
-
I actually fell for it. Wipe?
-
Fox and news shouldnt be in the same sentence.
-
Fox News does this to Every Fps title
-
It's a science fiction video game. Not everything is political, Fox "News." Also, they must have had a really -blam!-in slow news day if this is they shit they roll out.
-
Bravo good sir
-
Sir, you put way too much time into this ^_^
-
I haven't been Rick rolled for about 12 years until today lol
-
I actually laughed out loud on this one... Seriously, FOX just needs to shut down. They've been stuck in the wrong Age for way too long. This isn't the Blockbuster Era anymore.

Edited by NUTZ: 7/20/2015 9:25:28 AMThey're kinda close. Destiny is about which social classes are best to be in during High School. The speaker is the principal, and the vanguard and factions are teachers/coaches. Titans are the jocks, Warlocks are the rich kids, and Hunters are the kids that do clubs and other extra-curriculars. Fallen are rednecks/white-trash/poor folks, Hive are goth/emo, Cabal is anyone from an enlisted military background, and Vex are the weird psycho/unstable/fans-of-anything the "good guys" don't like.

I was thinking it was April 1st there. That just screams "I know this is nonsense but please give me some attention".
-
Hmm no new stories to twist or misremember, lets attack a game millions of people play that will get us some attention until the next real news we can draw out and over hype.

Click the link before you comment. Just sayin'

Edited by BadgermanPrime: 7/20/2015 9:20:56 AMAre there actually people out there that take Fox seriously? I think that amazes me more than anything they could put in one of their "news stories"
-
I think when I see this. What I think better left unsaid.
-
It's rated T. -_-

Have you cut out a bit of the 'news piece'? I remember that it was originally longer.
-
Most backwards logic I've ever seen. Fox news is corrupting the entire nation.
-
Doc is blowing this way out of proportion. These characters may have some resemblance to real life things but it's not Kim Jong in or the anti Christ. And wiping was made by the players. Not bungie. Players just found a way to use wiping to their advantage
-
It's clear some people cannot read hashtags to save their life.
