Fun and Game

BEIJING ? Fed up with what it sees as the corrupting influence of
computer games on youth, the Chinese government plans to introduce to
the online world a new cast of characters based on old-fashioned
Communist values.

Instead of heavily armed superheroes licensed to kill, the new game
will highlight the likes of a model Communist soldier famous for
helping other people. To advance in this game, players won't gun down
their enemies. They'll mend socks, lots of them, and gain points by
getting appreciation letters for doing good deeds such as helping old
ladies home in a rainstorm and stopping people from spitting on the
sidewalk.

The prize is a signed virtual copy of Mao Tse-tung's Little Red Book.

Why not make a game to have the player wash dishes all day? I'd rather shove a pineapple up my nostril than play this game.

Haha, that was a good giggle.
Hm, it seems they really are sad after all but I like the idea of washing dishses :smile: After all they made it for the 'Eye Toy'.

That can't be real!

You probably have to be a Communist Party member to buy and play the
game. Perhaps you'll have to swear with your hand on Mao's Red
Book's first.

Mending socks kicks arse! :evilgrin:

And i'm still waiting for a
"Learn The Alphabet with Stalin" educational program. Oh, and that
communist party meeting simulator.

Well, America's army made a game about what they think is right and now the communist party in China made theirs.

Sadly enough, one get's more popular than the other.

BUY it? Thats just the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from a capitalist imperialist greedy western american pig. Everyone will get this game. Everyone will play the same game. Everyone shall mend socks. It is for the good of China. Long live Chairman Mao.

Hahaah, sweet.

I bet its not a game at all, they probably make them wear ordinary
glasses and tell them to go to the 'virtual' workhouse. "oooh its like
the real thing....ARGH my back....wow, this is amazing"

That game sounds absolutely awesome! In fact, i hear they are coming out with a sequel entitled "The mystery of the stolen bag of rice: The Xi Gong Odyssey". I hear that you are a lone wolf soldier, sent on an epic task. A bag of Rice was stolen from Old Mrs Ming Mong. You're mission: to find the culprit and convince him that what he did was wrong and that he must apoligise to the poor old lady, maybe offer to mend her socks.

Somehow, i don't think so :dorky:

im speachless

maybe offer to mend her socks

I wonder if you get extra points if the socks are sweaty and smelly, or if the owner has athelete's foot.
