Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: China raises bar for inspiring dystopian cyberpunk games

[quote name="stupid rookie"]Silly me, I thought Ukranians playing Government and losing their shirts were enough to upstage typical cyberpunk writers. I forgot about mainland Asia. Between <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrv78nG9R04">boiling sewage to make food soylent green style</a>, arresting hundreds of vendors for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU5t61OAVQg">selling rat meat marked as lamb</a>, seeing the sun <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2540955/Beijing-clouded-smog-way-sunrise-watch-giant-commercial-screens-Tiananmen-Square.html">only on an LCD screen</a>, and <a href="http://michaelmurray.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/smog4.jpeg">putting the London Fog to shame</a> we're past Neuromancer, but then they one-upped Singapore and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOEI4-8B-ys#t=110">classified reports of lead in crops as a state secret</a> in the age of iphones. Of course people like me who want a game set in this awful crap exist. Maybe Warren Ellis can help us out with another one like Transmetropolitan now that Gibson's obsolete.[/quote]
