Computer games a’int just for kids, kids

An Iranian student organization has developed a game called “Rescue the Nuke Scientist”, where Iranian special ops rescue nuclear scientists from the U.S. and Israel. This is in response to KumaWar’s “Assault on Iran”, in which the player infiltrates an Iranian nuclear facility. Next thing you know, we’ll start deciding wars by computer simulations instead of actual fighting.

Parents addicted to an online game were arrested for neglecting their kids. According to the prosecutor, “They had food; they just chose not to give it to their kids because they were too busy playing video games.” That’s pretty sad.

Speaking of online games, a couple friends and I had a most gratifying World of Warcraft session (and it’s been a while). Our job was to escort a computer character without her dying; we had an average level of 36. There was this level 42 enemy Hunter who decided to kill the escort just to be annoying–but we all ganged up on him and he panicked, realizing as he fell to his death that 6 levels of difference wasn’t enough to deal with three against one.

Side note: when a female says “watch my rear”, most males will be all too glad to oblige…

Anything you say…

I am proud to say that I haven’t made any children starve due to World of Warcraft.

How Bush can save face in Iraq

If you aren’t tired of the war by now, please let me know (apathy doesn’t count). It would be a bit easier to stomach if it looked like the Iraqi government were well on its way to handling its own business. It doesn’t look like that’s happening anytime soon.

If our government is simply willing to spend a little more money, here’s a way it can start to plot a new direction in Iraq.

Short of that, I’d just send in Shaq, Chuck Norris, and the Cheat Commandos, and call it a day.

Monday Fighter!

Monday Fighter!

(Monday Fighter! is a weekly feature which attempts to cheer up or inspire the masses who must start yet another work week. It will end when I run out of these ridiculous fortune cookies, which should be around Aug 6. As always, the fortune is photographed on a wooden table.)
