Oh well, they never stopped people buying PlayStation Pornables, so this shouldn't have any effect on anyone.
Fox News Attacks Environmentally Conscious Games
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
I have one question. Most of the time--now unlike you I actually watch the network, so I can safely say--most of the time, a Fox News program will have one guy arguing one side, and another guy arguing the other side.
So everybody, please tell me one thing; how does the stupid, reactionary, racist opinion represent what Fox News says, but the other side that The Escapist might agree on does not?
Now this particular example is an exception, sure. But it's not like it matters. I remember another Fox thing Escapist make a pissy fuss about, the "should someone get a grant to make Call of Duty??!" thing. There was another guy, on that show, saying what we all agree with. But what, he doesn't count? Well, he wasn't the host of the show, but he was still on the show.
Besides, there are times where the only people talking are on the left-wing side. Seriously, do you know who this is? http://www.mensjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/headshot_smith.jpg
This is Shepard Smith. He is mostly liberal. He is one of the biggest names on Fox News.
What about this guy? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nnNX4rkBg6U/Rhcz_BUmVUI/AAAAAAAAAHk/7GtI827c6eo/s400/Geraldo.jpg
Everybody knows Geraldo Rivera, probably for the big, dramatic failures and stumbles he's suffered. He's a right-wing nut, right? No, he more liberal than conservative, actually.
And what about this fucking guy??? http://www.wpsl.com/img/alan-colmes.jpg
Every time, every episode, for about fourteen years; Sean Hannity starts up with his right-wing opinions, and then Alan Colmes fights back with his left-wing opinions and full force. I even remember a book/audiobook he made, and the subtitle was: "Why left is right and right is wrong." He doesn't have a full time show anymore, but he still appears occasionally.
And there's plenty more liberals on Fox, those are just the most famous I can think of off the top of my head.
So, The Escapist community, tell me, why don't we cheer on these guys?
I'm going to have to be totally honest, this is not, AT ALL about politics. About who's on which side. It's about jumping to unreasonable conclusions. If the articles all said "Such and such newscaster (who happens to be on Fox News) says something stupid." And all the witty comments made jokes about THAT GUY, then there'd be no problem.

I am still confused by the American use of "liberal" and "conservative". Around here, the so-called "liberals" are way further right-wing than the "conservatives".
guess whatever you do or say, if it doesn't agree with the opinion of fox, it's bad for our children -______-
I can't be sure, but I'm guessing you're from Australia? Perhaps?Monsterfurby said:
Liberal is a very messy and broad term, but in most cases around the world, when applied to politics, it means 'progressive' (ie, supportive of changing things up to improve them, rather than thinking things are fine as they are. Say, legalizing same-sex marriage).
Australia originally had a 'conservative' party, they may have been called the Conservative Party, I'm not sure. Anyway, they were eventually disbanded and replaced with the Liberal Party, who called themselves such as they were more liberal than those they replaced. Nevertheless, they represented the right-wing, as the Labor Party (at that point at least) represented the left-wing.
Now in modern Australia, we have the rather stupid situation where the conservative party is called the Liberal Party.
But anyway, it's the Australian use of the word that is messed up rather than the American one (at least, more messed up).
It's a TERRIBLE over simplification, but basically think of things thus:
Left wing = progressive = liberal
Right wing = conservative
Although if you say that to the wrong people you'll get drawn into a ten hour semantics debate, but you get my drift.
they are concerned about the "liberal agenda"???
sigh..... not even trying to hide how republican they are
this is why i hate fox

Can't blame Fox, have any of you actually played Fate of the world (you should btw, its an awesome game)?
It is the most depressing game ever and after failing in game so hard with a global agency that has the backing and support of the entire world, you wonder what chance we have irl and can only conclude the human race is screwed one way or another.
Btw fox must have failed hard at the game, solar and wind power in fate of the world are awesome for low emissions, but it takes ages to set up enough of a supply line to serve as substantial source of fuel and it's really expensive to the point it cripples your eco if you really try to just rely on solar+wind everywhere.
Nuclear is actually a good power source for certain countries in the game just as it's a viable strat to partially rely on oil while you're in an energy transition to something else.
If anything the game's biggest lesson is ban most dangerous emission like clatharates (really not worth it) and make transition to coal free industry ASAP.

Well, (A) The key word was "underfunded", (B) Even without leaks, it's still a terrible idea for many reasons, and (C) That "minor problem" gives people cancer and utterly destroys everything it touches for more than a few seconds.
Oh, and since Sim City is just being built up, so it is just starting on nuclear technology. I don't remember any nationality attached to Sim City.

People resent the network because most of their programming distort statistics, use inflammatory language, and sometimes outright lie about many things. Having some perceivable Lefties does not change the fact that the network is incredibly biased and has a very great deal of sway with their audience. They promote harmful stances, such as anti-environmentalism, and are part of the horribly misguided Right Wing of American politics.
I'm not against any political view, nor am I an American, but the polarized, stagnant, ineffectual state of affairs in America are harming the rest of the world, and Fox is a part of that.
What, so its ok to push the Conservative Agenda and not the Liberal Agenda?
I demand the federal government bring back the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. Yeah news will be boring as hell, but at least you get to hear both sides of story!
wait news isn't suppose to be entertaining!

It's a conservative channel, what you expect... while they are hard to fault when it come to economics topics, being adept of the only econimic system that work (oepn market). When it comes to social issue it'S really not the same... I can only hope they arent all like that on that channel, but i would have an hard time to judge the whole programation since i can't watch it.
I guess you guys didn't hear about how they recently called out Spongebob for mentioning global warming (in what seems like a throwaway line for a joke).
I get it now. They're on a 24-hour news network with a conservative/republican/right-leaning spin, as much as I want to detest the anchors, it's becoming evident to me they're just doing their job. The people that deserve our ire are the people that write the text on the teleprompters (which I'm guessing are the same people that write the paper copies the anchors read before they're on camera and lay out the structure of what to talk about).
So hey, Fox News teleprompter writer guy. Screw you. Oh and hey, that guy's boss. Screw you too.
As for energy sources, we should ban coal ASAP and get cracking on fusion.

I think this is a great thing. Why? They are admitting that games are a medium of art by which authors can and will express opinions. Dangerous opinions. Lock-up-your kids opinions.
They should take a look at certain religious games to see what conservative values-based games can be. Or Call of Duty.
Or, gasp
Bioshock.

Yeah me too. But what are the chances of that happening? That piece of **** makes more money than God!...almost.Blindrooster said:
That's the big "I can't believe it" thing when dealing with Fox, It's not the stupidity. People say stupid things all the time. It's the number of poeple buying into that crap that astonishes me.
