An interesting game on the war on terror

Here's an interesting game to play on the war on terror.

See if you understood the message.

Suhweet! Total bombage! I needed that. Helped me shuffle off some frustration.

I'd laugh, if it wasn't for the fact that it's true...... :shrug:

[Tienshin]

Things I noticed:

When the terrorists are in one place you are often reloading, and when you fire they are gone.

As soon as buildings are rebuilt terrorists hide behind them

Terrorists have no problem with walking amongst non terrorists

For every terrorist I killed 37 more seemed to appear

I went a solid 20 minutes without a single mother crying, and yet there seemed to be an endless steam of NEW terrorists.

I even tried the "Ann Coulter" approach and leveled everything so I could have a clear shot at terrorists...no luck everything was rebuilt and 37 NEW terrorists were in play.

The effects of overwhelming military power apparently have no effect.

This game is stupid as it forces a derived conclusion, i.e, YOU CAN'T WIN

Just a thought, I'd hate to think I based my foreign policy philosophy on a Flash game.

I guess that statement isn't true anymore. :)

BTW, has anybody tired leaving the game running without killing anybody? Notice anything.

[Jedigreedo]

Everytime someone's done mourning over a fresh corpse they magically get a gun even if it wasn't a dead terrorist and become terrorists.

Yeah I got the message, every single one of them's an eventual terrorist is the message for a game like that. Nice. :rolleyes:

I'd laugh if it wasn't so foolish.

I guess that statement isn't true anymore. :)

BTW, has anybody tired leaving the game running without killing anybody? Notice anything.Yup. They all mill about your screen pointlessly.

And now, LUCKY BOB'S TOP TEN LIST OF THINGS YOU LEARN FROM THIS GAME POSTED TO ANSWER RZETLIN'S QUESTIONS.

10. Terrorists, like civilians, mill about in a multi-colored fantasy world and never harm a soul.

9. All terrorists wear green and carry guns, leaving them easily open for hurtful stereotypes.

8. The United States' only offensive strategy for eliminating terrorism is to launch one unguided missle every 60 seconds at said stereotyped men in green robes.

7. Every single Muslim in the world is a terrorist at heart, just waiting for a civilian to be killed so that they can change Hulk-like into a REAL terrorist.

6. Muslim women can grow beards and sprout guns in an instant.

5. As mentioned before, leaving terrorists to run around aimlessly will not leave the United States open for terrorist attacks at all. 8 years of Clinton notwithstanding.

4. Almost all Muslims own dogs, although many consider them to be unclean.

3. All missiles owned by the U.S. military are unguided, and have a delay long enough for a Bruce Banner terrorist to change into a real one.

2. No matter what the subject matter, games that try to make a political, social, or religious statements are still crap.

AND THE NUMBER ONE THING I LEARNED FROM THIS GAME IS....

1. Lefties who do nothing but complain about steps taken to eliminate terrorism without proposing a realistic alternative have too much time on their hands.

-Lucky "Thank you, I'm here 'till Tuesday!" Bob

Ouch, ouch, what the heck is that....oh it's biting social commentary. Too bad it makes no sense and proposes no alternatives...oh well try again. And isn't it amazing that all Flash games with some political point are all on the left end of the spectrum. I guess when you are lounging around at your union job you need something to do.

[Digu Volz]

Leave the left-handed alone. It's not their fault they were born that way.
