During last night's class, we embarked on an interesting discussion on cheating in games and whether programmers should allow it. It incited a lot of heated debate about Hal0 III, which I can't really comment on. They all seemed to be against it in both a single-player and multi-player environment. I suggested since entertainment is the primary goal of most games, that it should be a user-defined condition. I went on to use the comparison of sports in real life. Somehow the topic kept returning to Halo and San Andreas. No doubt, the moral obligation in games is a hot topic.
So I decided to expand on cheating in sports AND politics, thanks to this real life Johnny Dangerously little brother. This guy is way more of a real disappointment to me more than all these juicing sports figures nabbed by the media. I don't hold athletes to their so-called moral obligation of being a hero and a role model. I certainly don't feel that way about politicians. I really try to not react to private life matters, but when you are a halo-hailing, crime-busting "steam-rolling" politician, and you fuck up, after raising the stakes of yer own egomanical game ... Reap what you spew, blowhards!
