I see a lot of threads about games but not a gaming thread , the idea was given by @Grey Havoc thread about ROUTINE coming back to life so I said "Hey this website doesn't seem to have a general gaming thread" so well I did !

@Grey Havoc I am looking at it now , two the most interesting points are the following :

  • 6:39 about Frances Townsend
  • Also 8:05 to 8:51 about a very but I think @njiiaf can gives us a better perspective on this
Those who caught most of my attention. Although I will say that I haven't play a CoD game in a while, last one was Black Ops 2 (the one who had the aircraft carrier Obama).

The article discussed in said video is the following : https://www.mintpressnews.com/call-of-duty-is-a-government-psyop-these-documents-prove-it/282781/ . However, on the part of being skeptical, I will conced that you are likely to be at least partly right because their cartoonist is none other than Carlos Latouff . Which njiaf might know because he is infamous for being a guy who partecipated in a cartoon contest sponsored by goverment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

However, there is the article that discusses about it (granted GameRant is never that much professional) :


But also this one discusses the subject :

www.theguardian.com

Call of Duty: gaming's role in the military-entertainment complex

How a writer on the world’s biggest shoot-’em-up has come to advise Washington on the future of warfare. By Simon Parkin
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

So, I think the Mint Press News could be the case of "even a broken clock keeps the right time twice a day".

But let's keep politics out of this. I want this thread to be about fun and videogames.

On some level, I think video games are just junk-food version of sports.

People need activities to practice skills, compete and build social circles. Video games does some of this but is worst at it except in the convenience and novelty factor.

If only game designs can move into the designer sports which fixes common problems with existing sports like difficult learning curve, degenerate meta-game, excessive focus on "unfun" skills, risk of injury, need for expensive equipment and environments, problems with matchmaking, and so on.
