If you really want to save the planet:

Save the planet

Haha. That is dam funny. Well, i'm all ready doing my part. I'm all ready [un]dead.

I'm on a crusade to save the world by chronic masturbation and frivolous sex with random strangers.

Is it working?

Well, has the world ended or not?

My take: destroy the USA, save the world. Disconnect the fucking online-only games, save the gaming world and gamers past-time.

Because this is not just about giving stuff away, this is a major event involving the destruction of cultural products. Events like this should not take place in the modern western world, in my opinion they should even be illegal.
Well, yours and that of some of your "strangers" could if you catch and spread some nasty STD in the process.

But actually this could even save the whole world if you happen to infect some super villain.

HEY! Destroy the USA!? We've got problems, I'll be the first to admit that, but I think it's a little obscene to lay everything at our feet! We invented the ice cream cone! And the drive-through liquer store! Those should count for something!!

You mean in modern world where making a copy of anything is so easy that a single copy of anything isn't worth shit?

The cult of an item is something that should stay in middle ages. So is forbidding people from doing whatever the hell they want with their own items. (including burning them to ashes)
If it was forced on anybody, that would be a different set of things. But voluntarily? It's not like burning down a copy of Daikatana ould endanger it to disappear.

The Pirate Bay does more for preserving the culture than any museum.

Well, I have a different opinion on the "cult of an item". And even if the actual games can be preserved through digital copies, rare physical copies are in my opinion historical pieces that should be preserved. And to be honest, in my opinion burning cultural works is something that should have ended in the middle ages - especially since it won't ever have the desired effect with infinite digital copies being easily accessible through the internet. :P

And it doesn't really bother me that people are destroying their own stuff, what bothers me is that this is executed in form of a public event or initiative. It's a primitive and misleading act, the people participating don't know what they are doing or why they do it. And seriously, why destroy the stuff if it could just be locked away or given away to people who value it - not to mention that the supposed problem are parental problems, how does destroying things they don't understand solve it?

No. I wasn't quite alluding to open sandbox games or even a specific genre for that matter. I just think of life as being a video game in general....There is no point taking it too seriously.

I'd probably not be amused if I lived there. Somebody's going to pay for all this, and I assume it's the people of Connecticut.

You could probably hoard some dirt-cheap games from bins and make some profit. What a farce.

With this one, I can agree - if you want to burn down your games folks, better send them to ME! :P

I loved you, I loved your country, your culture, your games. Now everything's shit, cloud computing (shitx2), Windows 8 and giant McBurgers. Do not want.

"Supersizing", giant McBurgers as you call them, were fazed out in 2006.

reminds me of littlekuriboh:

Are you honestly looking for logic and sense from KingofGnG?
