This has been haunting me...

[Rague]

I'VE been thinking about MGS4 and the plot is beginning to creep me out..

Basically, a few years into the future....a new WW3 from the looks of it...

Listening to Snake's wearied, cold, and patriotic words.
Are not destined the same fate?

I mean, look at us now.

Think about the way the world's entertainment goes.
Instead of uniqueness with a side of creativity; the world relies on porno and drugs.

If not that, it's sports or wrestling. Now this wouldn't bother me....

I remember having a thought in my head when I was9 years old and I told my brother about it.
It didn't seem likely it would happen.

I'm 17 now....and it looks like I was right...

My thought was "What's gonna happen when humanity runs out of ideas for entertainment?
People, now obsess over these topics:

*Celebrities
*Sports
*Porno
*Violence and Blood Shed
*Music
*Near-death experiences.

Not saying all people are like this. Many I know of are leading very interesting lives.
One of Solid Snake's lines was:
"A series of proxy battles fought by private military companies (PMC's) and mercenaries."

Think about what you hear on the radio or the news.
Some drunk girl/or boy just died. Britney Spears gets a new hubbie! Hilary's sporting new hairstyle! The Giant's have won their 3rd World Series.
While some of these may not have happened, they are similar to things that have been on the news.

And then there was the threat of nuclear apocalypse/warfare.
Let's face it.
The Canadians are cowards who won't cover our six.
Terrorism is sweeping through the U.S like ants in an underground colony.
Iraq is in peril and we've/'re losing hundreds of soldiers.
The Japanese are funding secret conspiracies involving Giant robots in horrendous ways
(The Nintendo Wii turning into a giant mech armed with dual machine guns)
And I don't want to even want to imagine what other countries may possibly hate us for...

America is disrupted in the field of government considering war issues and all the Bush-Haters( no pun intended)
And then we've got the civilian issues like teenagers acting like idiots and getting themselves blown up. And when they're not illegally smashed, they go out and do stupid stuff for a 'thrill'.

That also brings me back to one of my other topics. My thought.
People now have to nearly kill themselves to get any thrill out of life. Have you SEEN all the reality-survival shows. I can understand proving what you're made of, but this is just ridiculous.
Steve Irvwin-Brave dude..went out with a shock..not a bite.Amazing how he died from a stingray shock and not getting eaten by a crocodile.Kinda' ironic ain't it?

-End of Part 1
((Please, no flamers,spammers, or trolls))

Dude, do not worry about a thing. No one will attack us because they know we will blow them to green bits. Although my wii HAS been acting weird lately.....

[three-point-oh]

The reason we obsess with these things is because: We like to watch celebrities fuck up,
Sports because we have nothing better to do, Porn because we're perverted freaks, Violence and blood shed because it slowly engulfs our world( And some of us are looking forward to WW3...Including me), Music because it s about the only thing we listen to when we have nothing better to do, And Near death experiances Because we wish to learn about heaven or hell( Jesus+ Devil+Religion??? They're fake dammit!!!)

We are obbsessers because We are mindless drones caught up in the media, and Bush wants to control us.

I have to say that it has become such an epidemic that we no longer osess over stars. Now its z list nobodies. I was ranting about this earlier.

I think the US has its own version of big brother, but the UK one has decended into the depths of "celebrity" special editions. For fuck sake, one of the bozos on it this time was the mother of a contestant from a regular edition. How much of a nobody is that!

I think the world is facing an epidemic of stupidity that cant lead anywhere good. Apocalyptic future here we come.

I however will be safe, as I have managed to re-program my wii to be my protector against all the other wii's sent to destroy me.

Its fine to enjoy music, but when you obsess over it to the the detriment of other aspects of your life, thats when it becomes a bad thing.

It has to be said that there are worse things you could be obsessing over

Points to point out I guess for the main topic.

1. MGS4 is just a fucking game.
2. Hideo Kojima is on his usual America is evil plot just like from MGS2. No wonder US gamers hated it so much in the US. Perhaps MGS4 will look cool, some people will buy it but most will call its plot pretty much shit and not buy it.
3. I really don't see mechs or even a decent US military left coming anytime soon seeing as Congress is going to cut war funding, (especially in the Middle East).
4. You (the post starter) are a person who thinks too much about things and suffers by it. Lol, I laugh and sleep in peace as you struggle with things that make so little sense to most people because it just doesn't fucking make sense.

[SirLebowski]

I can't tell WHAT you are pissing your pants about from moment to the next here.

It goes from fearing a World War 3 to fearing the entertainment industry. Then to the unoriginality of humankind, then to terrorism and America's allies.

But all and all you seem like a person that worries too much. We've faced more powerful enemies before, and we will most likely surivive to fight more in the future. As for running out of ideas, that reminds of when I was 4 and worried about running out of things to say and never being able to talk again, there will always be new ideas. Simply based on the fact that life changes.

[Dealy-rizazamatizazz]

MGS4? Come on, if you wanna be worried about one of them how about the erie 2nd one? Your basing your fear on a game that was talored to match the fact we're still fighting in the middle east, and a one man army who regains health from eating is going to save America from robots, right. It's the age old saying man, sex sells, and exciting things sell because it's often unbelievable. Steve Irwin wasnt shocked, he was spiked in the heart, not like it was an eel. Steve Irwin looked like a dumbass, because that sells, he knew it, and they edit out all the good stuff he did, all they showed was him playing with an croc or alagator. They leave out the part where they move them to a safe location, or a new habitat, or if they clean their habitat, you know why? Becasuse it would be boring, you wanna see him get bit, you wanna see a croc death roll his leg off and take it into the water. Instead he was taken out by a devil ray, natures magic carpet.

In summation, buy Greg's beef and Bean Burrito's, they're twice the taste with half the cholesterol. Or you can try Greg's Family Fajita Fiesta, it comes with juicy chicken breast pre chopped, and all the fixings for a family sized Fiesta. Both can be found at your local supermarket. Don't forget, you can get authentic Mexican Greg's fine merchandise at most large retail stores!

You're both sorta right...

Lol, I laugh and sleep in peace as you struggle with things that make so little sense to most people because it just doesn't fucking make sense.

And I'm gonna laugh harder then I've everlaughed before if the End Of The World occurs and you're the first one to die because you expected nothing bad to happen....
