toms Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Videogame Character Threatens National Security? Watchful Babbler writes "Apparently, 'the lead item on the government's daily threat matrix one day last April' was clear and definite: a reclusive millionaire had formed a terrorist group with the intent of launching chemical weapons attacks on Western cities. The White House was notified and the Director of the FBI briefed as the government raced to find information. But then, according to USNews.com, a White House staffer decided to Google for information on suspected threat Don Emilio Fulci and found him -- in a video game - Sega's action title Headhunter. No word on exactly which sources and methods came up with this gem, but word in the E Ring is that Fulci had issued the cryptic warning, 'You have no chance to survive make your time'." heh heh. War on terror = good for a laugh occasionally at least. original article with links: http://games.slashdot.org/games/04/05/10/2036258.shtml?tid=127&tid=133&tid=186 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 'You have no chance to survive make your time' I believe that's from a WAY older game, on wich all your base was based upon. Good story though:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Keralys Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 The government's ineptitude strikes again... well, that's typical. And it gives way too much credence to the "video games inspire violence" crowd. Of course, I'd put it in, "Video games inspire stupidity in older adults who don't know what they're talking about..."

Master_Keralys Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Indeed - whatever your opinions on any party, you have to admit that the FBI is always stupid. Intelligence agency? I'm now convinced that this is nearly always an oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Around the time of the Columbine murders didn't some news personality literally describe "Doom" as "a medieval war game"? I wish I knew if that was true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Raise the video game IQ of this crazy generation! *PS: Saying they were fooled by "Zero Wing" is a little too perfect. An early 1990's Megadrive port of an arcade space shooter with badly translated cutscenes added for those who don't know. The bad guy was named "Cats" though if I'm not mistaken! What you say???!!!

teknoranger Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 "you have no chance to survice make your time" If I was running the FBI and this ran across my desk, and I KNEW it was a video game, I would STILL investigate this just as throughly as a more credible threat, less it DOES turn out to be real and you get reamed up the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
