CoD gets "Blunt Force" pack - it's weed themed gun skins

[Trig0n]

You know I was expecting something more along the lines of testicle shaped dog tags and dong shaped guns. Seems more CoD's speed anyway.

EDIT: More on topic anyway that weed sight just looks god awful. I can't imagine trying to aim with that. Maybe it's to simulate the effects of aiming while doped up. Hell if I know.

Yes, god forbid that they make use of some self-referential pun humor. Never mind all the other silly nonsense you can spatter all over your guns in this game.

I've been more offended (that is, not at all) by some of the hats in Team Fortress 2.

The general feeling is "if booze and cigarettes are legal, why not weed?"

I'm not touching the actual argument about weed itself with a ten-foot barge-pole, but I want to go on an ever-so-slight tangent with this. In the UK (well, probably only England and Wales given the devolution of health control), the British Medical Association is calling for the gradual, phased-out banning of smoking (anyone born after 2000, iirc, would not be able to buy cigarettes full stop, so current smokers would not be punished but no one else could *legally* buy cigarettes and therefore theoretically start smoking). If this were to go ahead (unlikely, but people said the same thing about the indoor smoking ban initially), it would create a situation where only alcohol was legal (not tobacco) - would that alter the argument for the legalisation of cannabis (as it would become the only thing allowed to be smoked if so)?

I doubt it. Maybe if that kind of phasing out was being done for alcohol. By comparison it'd be more relevant to weed than cigarettes because both weed and beer are intoxicating. That's what the basis for that argument is: "if it's perfectly legal to get drunk, why is it illegal to get high?" Just slap the same restrictions on it (no driving while high, have to be 21 to buy pot, etc), tax it, and use it to help finance the deficit.

I love puns, so I approve of the name. What I don't approve of is that they seem to just be releasing a bunch of skin packs to milk more money from the players. It hardly seems fair for me to place the blame entirely on Activision though, since these things only work if people actually reward them for it by buying them.
