Future Oil Wars Made Fun - Fuel of War Video Game
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 06:05 PM by RamboLiberal


Sometime in the near future, gas will cost about $20 a gallon.

It gets worse: China and Russia will form a military alliance that threatens the security of the United States and Europe.

Amid hunger, water scarcity and power outages, the two sides will go to war. Soldiers will descend upon bombed-out cities and abandoned villages, where rusting appliances and old car engines litter the streets.

But don't let that get you down.

Cataldi, an art director at New York-based KAOS Studios, is one of dozens of minds behind the dystopian vision presented in Frontlines: Fuel of War, a new video game inspired in part by contemporary fears about oil, war and, yes, war over oil.

Probably carries the Neocon seal of approval!

1. Whew, I was concerned the videogame industry wasn't doing enough...
...to train the next generation of gung-ho cannon fodder. I needn't have worried.

2. So ironic
The propaganda is kicking into high gear to get us used to the idea that most of us have to die for "the good of everyone."

Doubly ironic because all of the problems could end tomorrow.
