Classic Game Room - WEB WARS for Vectrex review

[crowley-the-arse-butt]

I've been seriously trying not to post anything about 4chan all night except what tags NOT to tag your posts as, but this has become to serious twisted bull based on some people getting angry for stupid reasons. Revenge? Really? Yeah we're humans but this is ridiculous. Going after the tags that are supposed to help people? Putting triggers in the tags that are supposed to keep them away? Hacking into people's accounts? Driving someone to suicide indirectly through harassment over the web? What are we children? This is starting to make me sick. I realize that 4chan is a... unique place and tumblr is a place for acceptance and stating our opinions with minimal negative reaction, but I feel like this is getting out of hand. The FBI is taking action on this now. I cannot comprehend how they must feel. 'what's going on online this time george?' 'oh, just two websites getting into a fight, but it's causing casualties, so we need to do something to stop it.' And in the long run, what do you think will happen? 'oh we can't find a solution to this, let's just shut down both sites until we get this figured out.' oh yay, just what we all wanted. I'm going to stop ranting now, and this will likely be the only post I make, but this is seriously making me sick. Along with all the other bullshit of 2014, I think this makes the cake.

The web is at war against us

We are Guerrilla thinkers and this means we are supposed to think.

But in order to think you must take your time and decide to stop and meditate. Lately we have realized that reading is good, watching youtube videos is good, facebooking is fine and cool but when you happen to do this 90% of your time, then you don't really have that much time to think left. And maybe that's the goal. Maybe there's some sort of hidden agenda under the incredibly fast growth of these communication means. Maybe we must not think. Maybe we must be kept busy and believe that we are always connected one to the other not to realize we live in a society that's getting us more and more alone.

I, we really don't know wether the whole plot theories are true or false. What we do know is that the generations of 30 and 40 years old and younger are screwed up. You can see zombies moving in the streets watching their expensive devices to get news on what other zombies are doing miles away. That's insane. This is not healthy, this is not encouraging self improvement. This is not doing anything for our future but turning us into empty shells, slaves of a new matrix that wants us to produce and consume. Now more than ever, awareness makes a difference. Now more than ever, knowing that we have a body, we have hands and fingers, and feet and lips, knowing that we have a voice and ideas and rights is something we have to achieve everyday. We have to go back to the analogue version of ourselves, we have stop looking at screens and start looking at the sky, the clouds and the faces of those around us. We do not know if there's someone that has declared war against what is evident and human. We do know that we want to stay awake and not only survive but live. If the web is at war against us the only way we can win is to turn off our computer and turn on our hearts.

Maybe someone can explain this to me...

I was on Facebook this morning and two individuals were spamming each others wall with insults. Why do people engage in web wars? the mindless back and forth with some unknown individual, who could be god knows where. I just don't see the point, are they expecting to win? Toss a few insults, add an exclamation point then sign off with satisfaction? lol what do you do after said war? walk to the fridge to get a glass of milk to go with the cookie you think you've earned? Lol childish, entertainment I guess?
