Slashdot Mirror
Flash Games as Political Commentary
Clive Thompson writes "All over the net, there are little shockwave games inspired by political events -- from the WTO-style New York Defender to War on Terrorism to even Downing Street Fighter (where British politicians beat each other senseless, Street-Fighter-Style). Sure, like most Shockwave-generated stuff, they may suck as games. But that's missing the point. What's happening here is nothing less than the emergence of the online video game as a form of social comment -- something you dash off in a couple of hours to make a sardonic political point about something. It's a new notepad for communication. Or at least, that's what I argued in this piece in Slate today. In addition to the craven self-promotion of sending it in to Slashdot, I'm interested in hearing what everyone thinks of this issue. After all, courts have recently been arguing that video games cannot be protected speech; these games make it patently obvious that this view is insane." The columnist missed a better example of the genre - the EFF's game of digital restrictions management.

Useful Advice:
1. Do not touch or attempt to touch a UFO that has landed. Passing through the Earth's atmosphere the skin of the craft will be hot. There is also a possibility of radiation. There is also a chance of steam being produced from the heated hull at the landing site.
2. Do not stand under a hovering UFO at low altitude. There is a possibility of radiation danger.
3. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONTACT ALIENS if they appear, any movement on your part may constitute an act of aggression. If possible, back away VERY slowly. Make no gestures what so ever.
4. Note the shape and size of the craft, use nearby objects for a size comparison.
5. If you can take some photographs but
6. Do not touch any artifact from an alien spacecraft, the artifact may be dangerous, leave this to the authorites.
7. Do not attempt sex with the aliens. Alien fluids might have acid or other undesirables. by TrollBurger #575126
8. Get away from the area QUICKLY. Inform the local authorites or the military.
9. If you a wound or illness, present it to the aliens in a manner that shows you are hurt. Many aliens have healing powers in their appendages. by scotch #102596
10. Do not attempt to shoot at alien craft. Not only is this a direct act of agression, but many alien ships employ powerful sheilding which can deflect a bullet or shot directly towards you, which may lead to injuries.
Less Useful Advice:
1. Offer the aliens a burger. They've just been on a trip that must have taken many millions of lightyears, they're probably hungry. by TrollBurger #575126
2. Don't tell the aliens about Slashdot, Jerry Springer, and America. The aliens are probably trying to find intelligent life.
3. To aid future human/alien dialog, attempt to communicate the rotation period of an electron in a hydrogen atom, using dance. This is the intergalactic Roseta Stone.
4. Attempt to sneeze on the aliens. This is just to show that "War of the Worlds" was a CROCK OF SHIT!
5. Explain to them about area 51, and how we shot down, and experimented on one of their own. (THIS MIGHT BE DANGEROUS).
6. Offer to show them an anal probe (if you have one handy). (OPTIONAL)
7. If the alien seems upset, offer to rub its head gently. Not only will this ease a tense situation, it will bring you good luck. by scotch #102596

Fuck you, asshole. They can look for themselves. What are you, an American. "He might hurt himself". Why not set a up a class action against Slashdot?
"I kept poking myself in the eye with a pencil and it went in! There should be a little rubber protector on the next of each pencil! I`m gonna sue!"
OSDN closed today FreeCode, one of their sites. /. rejected the story about it... what do you think about this? Is /. the next one closing the door?
No way! Star Scream and Ram Jet rule.
Megatron turns into a gun? WTF is that? He's too big to fit in any other Transformer's hand.
And anyway, Go-bots had better storylines and characters than Transformers.
So, um...
Does this 96 % of all Slashdot is females ?? Every single one of them interested in f/f (female slash female).
Remember the scene in Ghost in the Shell, when she takes a dive and then comes out of the sea and kisses her reflection, well if you press UP/DOWN/DOWN/DOWN/LEFT/LEFT on the DVD, this scene is followed by the censored lesbian scene on the boat. It's quite neat. OH that's female slash too BTW. Flashed too! Imagine that.
uhm. well. incorrect. sorry but that's just bs.
I read your post, OK, and I thought to myself, "What the RED FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? "
lol. sorry mods, but how you modded this post is just stupid. what is "off topic" about this? Tell me it's insulting and I believe you. Tell me it's too short and I'm ok. Tell me it sucks and i'll accept it. but it's not OT, it directly replies to the parent post! :)
suckers
i woke up yesterday with a lumpy sensation in my sexy ass. i knew i had to take a shit. oh yes i knew i did but what i wanted was the opposite. i walked to the toilet to do my morning routine, if indeed what i did could be considered routine! :)
you see, my toilet has no toilet bowl. just a shower tray and a pail! so you must be wondering where i get my water from and how i shower. i recycle of course!
by this time the nigger in my ass was banging on my ass door demanding to be let out and i consented with a sigh. i cupped my hands under my ass and relaxed my spinchter and i let the smelly nigger squirm out into my inviting hands. oh this was getting me mighty horny! i took the shit and plopped it on my face and i let the brown and sticky nigger turds slide slowly down my double chinned throat and onto my smelly and sticky man-tits with the saucer-sized nipples. oh the sensation and smell was killing me! i so very much wanted to eat it but i would save that for later. more niggers were trying to get out!
i dragged the much-used pail over and released my shipload of smuggled nigger slaves into the port. oh the size of those turds! i had been saving them up for a week mind you...i had never seen so much shit in my life! i released my bladder and the stinky yellow mountain dew gave the dirty niggers a good shower and the combined smell was overpowering! i so very much wanted to stick my totempole of throbbing and pulsating manhood which i had just recently installed the latex version of linux (with the kernel compared with my own balls! am i proud of that! compiled my own kernel! oh boy!) and feel the warmness of my own shit.
finally push came to shove and probe came to thrust and i jammed the full 20 inches of my purple open source apache 2.0 totem pole into the mess of unwashed niggers and i fucked it for all i had! i could feel the corn and see the shreds of veggie in my turds and i knew they loved it! the friction and warmness was exquisite and i came and came and came and came, my BSD balls serving every hit with a load of creamy html cum.
now for the grand finale. i stood in the shower tray (which had no shower) and i revelled in the glory of what was about to happen. i had to make it last as long as possible until my next cleansing! i lifted the pail to chest-height, closed my eyes, put the pail to my lips, and i drank the essence of myself. but just a bit, mind you. without much ado, i lifted the pail higher, and dumped the entire pail full of squirming open-source niggers and dumped it over my head and the sticking, gooey, beef stew poured over all 300 pounds of me. i lapped up as much of it as i could, knowing how much the people i was visiting later would like it.
well, to cut things short i was the star of the ball, so to speak when i attended the next OSDN conference still covered with shit and wearing an undersized lace teddy with mary janes. everyone was drooling over me and linus torvalds himself later tied me up in the bathroom and took a shit on me! oh i was soooooooooo touched i tell you. yesterday, was indeed a day which will live in infamy. god bless. i wish jesus would take a shit on me himself. *sniffle*
Go-bots? Go-bots? Go-bots? Are you mad?
.. now open my doors, look, it's my arms! Isn't that terribly clever?!"
The Go-bots were positively dreadful. "Ooh, look, I'm a car
The makers of the Go-bots deserve to be in prison.
