While We Wait: Part 5

[Angst]

... And then we have all of the people who don't own a PS3 or an XBOX 360 and therefore lack all those good/prettygraphicshighspeedgameplaynodepth shooters.

We simply play Timesplitters, BF2, Brawl and NES and are happy with that.

Wii games don't have any depth

Wii games don't have any depth

Name one console where all of the games have depth. I'm sure the Wii has some games with depth.

Well your wrong they don't have any.

 

[Ninja Dude]

Well your wrong they don't have any.

Wait, do you mean depth in storyline? Or do you mean in strategy and skill needed to play them?

It may sound like arse licking but I just wanted to make sure that everyone read it carefully, twice.

I have no idea, I just got annoyed when you said "good/prettygraphicshighspeedgameplaynodepth shooters" then started saying how good the Wii was.
I hate Nintendo, they killed my parents

Even though it was lj who said it .

But still. Don't stoop to his level of judging games. He was obviously not being serious.

I thought it was disgusting, well If Paz Americana means what I think its means. I'm not used to such nationalism being accepted

Oh sorry man, didn't notice you weren't the same guy.

Then, what do you think 'Pax Americana' means ?
And what Nationalism are we talking about ?
And furthermore, what other long term plan for survival as a species do you envision ?

Yeah, Fallout 3 is pretty awesome, isn't it?

 

[Abaddon]

The Wii is fricking awesome!

All the other consoles have brought NOTHING new but graphics. The Wii brings novel ways of playing.

You're on the internet; try using it sometime.

My nationalism is also motivated by practicality. I think the world is moving towards a gradual unification, in 100 to 200 years, and whoever is in charge at that point will determine the course of human society and government as humanity leaves Earth. I prefer the American model to the alternatives, and I am not afraid to say so, or to defend that assertion. If there were a better model, I would advocate it. There isn't one, so I don't. If you would like to argue that humanity would be better off with Russia or China leading the world than with America doing so, feel free to make your case.

If you don't, then you too should also hope to see the American reign continue in a multilateral fashion with Europe, because it is the only system that provides the backbone to the democracy and freedoms you enjoy. The whole "can't we all just be friends" argument of everyone being equals is a ridiculous teenage fantasy-interpretation of the world and I won't even bother shooting it down, so I'd prefer if nobody makes it. In human societies there will always be leaders. In the global political stage, I like that leader being America, and I would like it to continue being America, because I don't like the idea of somebody putting polonium in my hot chocolate or having to reroute my IP through Sweden to view my favorite websites.

 

[Ninja Dude]

...I still can't believe the name of the location in Luckymoose's Dwarf Fortress game. The odds of that name being generated are probably insane.

For a few seconds I thought that you said TF2 instead of BF2 and wanted to ask what your Steam ID was.

Well I just did look it up, and it is what I thought it was, who wants you guys leading the world your right bastards. You keep dreaming.

Yeah, that too I'm getting it soon.

The Wii is fricking awesome!

Another truth.

And to get back on the current topic, my personal opinion is that the only way that we can get out of the current mess and finally save our planet AND colonize others is to keep on having a very strong alliance between the US and Europe. They can lead; If the ultimate goal is survival and preservation of our standards, I'll gladly follow. And another Pax Americana is a prerequisite to this.

EDIT : Wow, long X-post (I'm a slow typer)

OK, so you think that you'll just live in peace and tranquility forever and somebody even worse won't come along and tell you what to do? So you endorse a sort of global anarchy then. See, that's the trouble with anarchy: it never works. Someone always puts the system to order. We like order as people. You have to pick who it's going to be that leads your team. It's like football. You've got to have a team captain, or at least a manager.

So who's it going to be if not America? EU's a joke. India is so mired in poverty and illiteracy that it'll have to claw its way out to true power status. Brazil is at best going to be a resource exporter in the powers. That leaves America, Russia, and China. Pick one.

Bollocks I don't have to pick your choices

 

[Symphony D.]

Yeah, actually you do, unless you think the British Empire will be back tomorrow or something. It doesn't matter whether you like it, or think it's right, or agree with it, or think it's fair--there is always some country in the world which has preeminence over all others. Sumeria. Egypt. Persia. Rome. The Umayyads. The Abbasids. The Mongols. The Ottomans. Spain. Britain. America.

Human history is a long chain of superpowers leading the rest and vying for control. They have always fallen. Eventually, America will too. And most likely you'll have China and its lovely censorship and oppression to deal with instead of our mere arrogance. You do have to pick who you support. You always do, if you believe in something and want to protect it. You want to think otherwise, well, good for you--your irrelevance to the future is your problem alone then.
