All of these idiots think life is one big video game.

When they get shot they'll realize there is no "load save" option.

There's no checkpoint. And when you die, you meet the final boss.

Spawn camping is acceptable if you're eliminating commies

The left spawn-camps themselves. It's called "abortion."

I wonder how close to the actual Buddhist concept of karma that being the third victim of a Spartan Laser when it fires and you respawn in the same frame is... I don't know if it was a bad spawn compilation or what, but I'm remembering a bunch of Halo 3 bad spawns. Materializing two feet in front of a floored Warthog. Spawning at the muzzle of your teammate with the sniper just as he finds his target. A really badly thrown spike grenade explodes in an empty lot, turning into a dead Spartan in the process. A fusion coil explodes, launching the supersonic traffic cone into the cover room, where buddy logs in at the exact wrong moment...

Not if it's a good shot.

Everyone is the hero of their own story. Hollywood and video games contribute to this disconnect from reality. Thats why all these libtards are so shocked when people react to their bullshit.

Are they shocked to discover that they are the NPCs and not their victims?

I don't think media contributes that much to this disconnection. It's a factor in controlling worldview, but in and of itself it isn't getting people out in the street like this.

You'd have be tremendously stupid to think video games and life are the same thing. These people do exist, but they are too stupid to achieve more than a day long crime spree ending in a police shooting or 200 year sentence. They are definitely NOT politically minded.

What media does is indoctrinates a particularly worldview. The core of the worldview is that people are children and need to be protected. This worldview seeps into politics and systems are then built around making that worldview a reality. THAT's what gives you morons in the street like this. It's several steps removed from vidya.

Kurt Vonnegut actually commented on this back in the day (although more just the fictionalization of reality through media, in his case novels). He would often stop his stories to go into the personality, history, dreams, and goals of walk-on characters, like a random waitress in a coffee shop serving one of the main characters.

Just as a reminder to the reader that the person serving you coffee has all those things. They aren't just some unimportant side note building up to a climax of your story: they're a person with their own story too.

I always liked those little sojourns, and the lesson was invaluable.

Would you believe I've never played a video game post-Sega Genesis 16 bit era ?

I hardly play any vidya games myself

I still play Atari 2600 games, lol.

Life is too busy for video games. I can barely find time to sleep let alone play video game.

I hear ya, brother. I do enjoy playing Chess Titans on my computer at lunch though.

Sega Genesis? Is that because Nintendo games of the era were too easy?

(FD: It's a lot harder than it looks, lol! It's actually a security hack that entails a rat's nest of controllers with taped-down buttons in addition to kicking off the red shell at the exact pixel he did and causing the duplicated Yoshi's egg fragment to disappear on an exact frame.)

I'd love to see what Trevor Philips would do to BLM/Antifa shitheads who blocked his vehicle.

If they're LUCKY he just runs them over. If they're UNLUCKY he'll get his dick out first.

Even if there was, they’d probably get spawn camped by their own team at Planned Parenthood.

There is a respawn, just not in this world and not the respawn they'll want for these atheist anti-God scum.
