Tom Clancy game casts 99 Percent as domestic terrorists
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/21/tom-clancy-game-casts-99-percent-as-domestic-terrorists/
I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes of the second video on the page.
This is seriously dangerous to 99%.
I'm getting that game now.

What they have themselves all worked up over, is this statement by the author, Mr. Webster.
An upcoming game in the Tom Clancy franchise is ruffling some feathers for depicting a domestic terrorist attack staged by individuals who sound sympathetic to the 99 Percent movement.
The cult of the perpetually offended. :banghead:
Naturally, if they "sounded" like Jews or Lutherans everything would be peachy.
-
It looks like a cool game. But not something I can buy and play with a toddler around. I rarely get time to play GTA.

Well they say Tom is pretty good at getting things right.

He's got the DUmmies pegged, that's for sure.

From link in DUmmy OP:
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Patriots,†due out in 2013
The 99 movement will be a bad memory by then.
In today's fast paced world, a news cycle is only 72 business hours.
-
Well DUmmies, if you claim to support the 99%, then you're going to end up getting the bad with with good. So suck it. Can't wait to play it myself.

After five or six tremendous novels, among the best I've ever read, he let his brand go to absolute hell.
If there's a more comically bad book than Rainbow 6, I've never seen it.
It was like a DUmmy was trying to write a caricature of Clancy's great books, and since then it's been downhill.
He's at a point where he'll put his name on anything for a price. Maybe the video games are okay, but the books suck.

Sounds awesome, especially considering I just got an Xbox 360!
"I couldn't watch more than 2 minutes of the second video on the page."
What a wuss.
btw, I don't know why the DUmmies are whining. Those terrorists don't seem like Occupy freaks; They look like they bathe regularly, none of them are wearing those stupid bandanas or even stupider Guy Fawkes masks over their faces or kaffiyehs around their necks, and none of them look like twentysomething trust- fund brats. THOSE would be the kinds of vermin I'd like to beat the crap out of in a video game!
Though, wanting to slaughter wealthy people and their families definitely fits both the DUmmies and the Occupiers like a glove.

This is great. RB6:Vegas and RB6:Vegas2 are my favorite games for the 360. I thought the franchise was ending with Vegas2. Can't wait for this next one.

Considering the clip I saw was 1:06, I can see why, you lying sack of shit.

I know what you mean. I really liked Clancy's early stuff, now not so much.
Same with Steven King. His early novels and short stories were good. The Stand is still one of my favorite books. But It and The Tommyknockers sucked; it seemed like he was just recycling the same crap in book after book. I never got back into his stuff.

IMHO, his best was The Cardinal of the Kremlin.

Clancy got waterboarded (not really- but he was questioned) by the feds after "The Hunt for Red October" was released. They wanted to know how he had knowledge of our sub detection system that he described in the book.

Believe me, had a Navy officer (current or former) written that book, he'd STILL be under the jail. To say Lehman was pissed when that book came out was an understatement.

The irony was the first printing of that book was by the Naval Institute Press.
