[quote name="Creexul :("][quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Creexul :("][quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]Basically the whole of humanity is now confined into heavily patrolled Warsaw ghettos, and you on your return are heralded as Messiah. The thing that makes it ethically challenging from me is that I agree with the ideology Dr. Breen is spouting from the omnipresent monitors - that humanity should let instinct and mystical thoughts die, embrace immortality and shun reproduction. Because of this, the game is a constant ethical struggle for me - I don't much care for humans and I agree with the bad guys' philosophy of what is best for humanity. posted by Ryvar at 12:15 PM PST on November 16 [/quote] Dr. Breen was actually transforming humanity into combine because he could "sell" them as soldier planetary/dimensionary conquerers to the "benefactors." So SB agrees with a guy who is lying. <b>What a dumbass.</b>[/quote] I knew Breen was a lying sack of shit from the moment I stopped to listen to his pro-alien lecture. They only want what's best for us! Right, obviously. Also, Half-Life 2 is a game, and convention dictates that the badguys be liars and criminals. Big surprise. Barbie's not really that stupid, he's just showing off what a misanthrope he is because he thinks it's one of his best qualities and because he thinks it makes him <b>HARD CORE</b>. In other words: he's actually stupider than that.[/quote] Clearly you don't have to warn SB against the <b>dangers of magical thinking</b>. I bet when he heard people were labeling your character with such DANGEROUS POETIC LABELS as "The One Free Man," SB was like, DAMN THEM, BREEN IS RIGHT, HOW COULD THEY, and spent as much time as possible trying to kill friendlies or get them killed by enemies. And then if Barney or Alyx died and the game failed him, he'd get all mad and be like WHY, THIS GAME IS STUPID, IT'S PUNISHING ME FOR PLAYING THE WAY <B><I><U>I</U></I></B> WANT TO, THIS ISN'T REVOLUTIONARY AT <B>ALL</B> *GOES BACK TO PLAYING WORLD OF WARCRAFT*[/quote]
