Daily Mail thinks Fallout 3 artwork is terrorist propaganda

Considering how man game studios produce video games with post-apocalyptic themes ad nauseum you have to kinda wonder if there isn't some hidden agenda to present our future as smoke, ash and rubble. Oh and don't forget dog eat dog survivalism where law and order is tossed out the window. Perhaps we are being conditioned for some futuristic cataclysmic event already planned and in motion?

Where'd I put my tin=foil hat?

Permission to face-palm?

We are trained killers by playing the first two games. This one will make us even better terrorists.

Oh damn no credit? I spotted this earlier last night and got it on the community blogs to bring awareness all around first and foremost - hell I even had it up here before the NegativeGamer link you put up

I think I saw this somewhere on Boing Boing or gizmodo as well

Daily Mail is awesome, Jim I highly suggest you forward the Daily Mail crap and Fallout 3 addy and stuff to one of the other major toilet rags. I'd bet my balls they would run a piece on it, they love making other papers look retarded.

Not only but Street Fighter IV promotes homosexuality!

Say it aint so El Fuerte!

Well at least they would end this horror year of campaigning, amirite? And think of all the dead lobbyists in the streets of Washington!

Well with this breaking news that video game art is a vision of the future I perused my game collection and got quite excited. Scared too, the future makes a lot of use of the colours brown and grey.

Well I'm a firm believer that JT is a terrorist, so I guess it goes both ways, huh?

well they can go sukanut. the other day I saw a NYC photographer taking naked pics of 13 year old girls as art.

There are so much worse stuff than worrying about fictional artwork.

I also tried to post a correcting comment and it has not been posted. I guess they don't like the truth.

Have to hand it to the new Fallout for advertising to a wider audience, that image is like porn for terrorists.

So many levels of retardedness...

A.) I blame al-Qaeda for lifting the image without thinking that maybe, just maybe, somebody would notice that it's from a video game.
B.) I blame the anti-terror watchgroups. Are you going to sit there and tell me that an organization whose sole mission is to monitor internet happenings doesn't have at least one motherfucker who reads a video game blog? Give me a break.

@Teta

I want the twenty-five minutes of my life I lost to your....shit, there they go again.....your avatar.

I honestly found this.... Quite hilarious. But yes, I do believe that there was some form of bullshittery that went through when it was being screened. Something among the lines of "It's not really by terrorists? Well screw it, lets toss it up anyway for a few more sales."

That's how all of this works. If it'll get people to buy it, toss it up there. When the company or group of people that made it calls foul, take it down and issue a SLIGHT apology. Something akin to saying "Sorry you're a bunch of terrorists" but in a nicer way.

That is the sad reality of today. The future is not what we gamers make of it. Even the game developers. The future is what money leads us to. Be it the search for oil as the time passes by. Nuclear arms. Water. In the end it's all related to money. Who owns the most resources to make them the strongest. That is at the forefront of everything that endangers millions. In some situations, it isn't money I admit. At that point it becomes a fight over Ideology and/or Religion.

Is our future a nuclear devastated one? In some parts, it will eventually happen. Is our future one of Global Warming leading into an Ice Age? Could be so. A lot of groups want to tell you to make a difference. Drive hybrid cars and all that and we can avoid a man made global catastrophe. But eh. One person is not going to make a difference, unless that one person is the one calling all the shots. And when so many leaders get into giant cockfights over a difference in beliefs. I sometimes wonder whats the point in it all. Now that's not to say that all wars and conflicts are pointless. Most definitely not. All I am saying is that sometimes - humanity fights for the stupidest of reasons.

I think our country will look like that in the not too distant future, but I think it'll be the doing of the retarded jackass hacks that are running this place now.

Bethesda: The worst terrorism since September 11, or worst terrorism ever?

Sorry, Jim, but I already made a legit comment (actually, two) on lanidas' blog last night when he posted it on the cblogs.

The plot thickens. Telegraph finally told what happened, first "serious" media outlet to do it, SITE counterattacks, Telegraph takes down the story.

Outside the gaming world everyone still thinks that terrorist propaganda. Oh Boy.

I explain it here.

AHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME

The world would be such a boring place without morons.

Sure, the Daily Mail's calling it terrorist propaganda now, but I'm sure that when it comes out it'll be another 10/10.

This is awesome. Mainstream journalism is the new Jack Thompson for lols.
