Hey I'm down for that

Don't forget that the default difficulty is on Easy for some reason. You can edit the ini files to make it "Classic"(Hard) for a more X-Com experience.

Jeff, how do you think this will stand on it's own? I mean we all know Sony's performance has been a bit wobbly recently and that they've needed something to help secure shareholders. Personally, I think if they mount a new campaign on this new innovation, they'll be able to bolster their way back into a more stable position.

Why does nobody here actually read the article goddamn.

While I think a lot of the points in this thread about disillusionment and the difficulty in changing things are important, I think there are a significant number of young people who do care about politics, and for those who don't I think it's often because they're often more concerned with their own lives than larger issues in the world and they just find it boring. Of course, those still aren't great excuses though. I think in some cases people also just feel confused and alienated by politics as a subject. Not a ton seems to be done in schools to welcome people to the subject and when it all seems so intimidating and unfathomable people are going to try even less to educate themselves.

There does seem to be a worrying prevailing view regarding a lot of politics in this thread though; namely that there are big problems that we can't fix or that there's no difference between political candidates so we shouldn't try to care. Firstly, I do think there are significant differences between the political parties. Yes, they all make promises they can't keep, and yes, there's no one you can vote into power who's just going to fix all the corruption and problems in the world overnight, but that doesn't mean things aren't going to run rather differently depending on who you vote for, especially out in the U.S. If you're a U.S. citizen and you're arguing that both the major parties are exactly the same then I just don't understand where you're coming from. Even if you're just voting for the lesser of two evils, that's a very important job to do, and while it depends on where you live, people probably died for your freedom to vote today.

Secondly, if there are big challenges to overcome then that's a reason to care all the more, not less. There have been times in human history where there have been problems that seemed impossible to overcome but people were able to do so because they put genuine effort in to solve those problems. Apathy solves nothing, and if you're sitting around shrugging your shoulders and going "Oh well, might as well not care" then you are part of the problem you're complaining about.

This is the best post in the thread and people should read this.

I don't understand how people can hate the status quo and then take a stand by doing nothing.

"Mr. President I hate you so much that I won't even VOTE. BALL'S IN YOUR COURT, O-BA-MA."

Because us young people are too self-indulged with their own lives and don't care about the world around them to any surmountable degree! Now if you don't mind, I have to watch some tv for hours on end so I can go out of my way to not be informed!

Remember kids, there's a difference between caring about who gets elected every 4 years, and also knowing what kind of legislation is passed! Just because you prefer to ignore doesn't make it go away!

Let's get real. Dino D-Day revolutionized the gaming front as we know, but the sonic boom of pure innovation has yet to be heard by the industry at large.

Um excuse me, some of us suffer from PTSD and as such it is not recommended for us to "stress" certain things as far as I am aware.

I've gotten through life without "stressing" over words or whatever, and I hope you would do the same.
