Fox News: Halo 4 Could Keep Voters At Home

Uh, Fox isn't the only one making this argument. (See the Big Picture: One Day in November) Seriously guys, this is ridiculously biased of the escapist community. Fox News could say "I like cats" and you'd call them out for saying 'I' instead of 'we'.Geth Reich said:

"The idiots who can't get a date and look at the women's breasts in the games will definitely find Halo 4 more interesting than something that requires thinking."
This implies that playing Halo 4 on the day it comes out means you are a hopeless loser with no mental faculties. Why isn't anyone pissed off about this?
Wait... did this already get covered something like several months ago when Halo 4's release date was announced?
I remember a MovieBob Big Picture video about it, but I swear there was an article too...
Anyways, It wouldnt surprise me if there were more people that chose to stay home and play Halo 4 over actually voting.

Given that the 360 Polling of the debates suggests that the people interested in the election who own a 360 are overwhelmingly Republican I'm not surprised that Fox News would cry about it. However, if you're so inept as a voter to stay home playing Halo 4 when everyone else finds time after work, lunch, early in the morning, or even the people who've lost their home to Sandy who have to stay out in the cold just to vote then maybe just maybe you shouldn't be voting.
Wait, really? I watched two of those debates, and it seemed as though most of the gamers were supportive of Obama and such... maybe all the republican[footnote]and I apparently lost the ability to spell all of a sudden...[/footnote] gamers were busy playing COD instead...medv4380 said:
You have to remember, professional doesn't mean anything other then you are paid to do something, being a professional analyst doesn't make him smart, it just means someone is paying him and when statistics get involved it more than likely means someone is paying him to say something they will like. In addition I would like to point out how the quotes held within this article sound like they were taken directly from the guy that did the borderlands 2 review that got laughed out of the forum.Kiyeri said:
And here was me thinking it wasn't that great, from those that have played the rest of the Halo games. And until the PS3 version of Mass Effect was moved back to December, my plan was "go vote, grab my copy of the game, go home and play". Not hard to see how that would work for those who actually want to vote. Or, you know, gods help us, they put the game down for twenty minutes to press invisible buttons. Really not that hard.
I'd rather not because I don't really care one way or the other about whatever their saying in this article because A) I'm not capable of voting in America and B) Fox (and most media for that matter) saying stupid crap about gamers that imply their hopeless social dropouts is just something I treat with the same emotional response as watching the sun rise: "It happened again-welp back to gaming!"HalfTangible said:
A couple of the Interactive polling questions reflected more of the republican party view. Best example was the "Do you support drone attacks" question that 70% of 360 owners answered yes. Caused a few pendents to look oddly at it. Most Americans support the use of drones anyways save for Ultra Liberals but of Republicans it's 70% support. Things like that make them more likely to be or be convinced by the republican narrative, but if they don't vote then it doesn't matter.WanderingFool said:
Anyone that is choosing between standing in line for 10 mins to an hour plus to cast their vote for president that happens every 4 years, over an extra 10 mins to an hour plus to play a video game entry in a series that comes out at least once every two years is a buffoon and probably wouldn't of voted anyway. Lazy bastards =/
Anyone besides me realise just how easy it is to make a joke about Call of Duty with somthing like that.medv4380 said:
Better to stay inside and have some fun than going out and wasting your time choosing whichever rich asshole you want to take a dump on you.
Rest assured, Fox News, that Halo 4 is not the reason I won't be voting this year. In truth, it's just too much hassle to do the whole absentee ballot thing just to put in a Mickey Mouse protest vote. I don't really like either of the major runners, and the Republicans and Democrats both seem to want to turn our country into a police state, just for different reasons(or different lobbyists, rather).
In short, they can all go fuck themselves.
