The latest war-themed shooter and how "SUPER OWNAGE AWESOME LOL" it is.
I really hope it doesn't come to that, but knowing today's lovely civilized bunch of online gamers you never know. From personal experience I hope it will be something like "Does anyone remember cancer?"

Hmm, that Panda dlc wouldnt happen to be your entire life savings and offer three "refurbished" maps such as highrise, karachi and derail would it?

If in 100 years, the internet hasn't graduated into a form of hivemind (with an opt-out clause, of course), we're doing it wrong.

If forums, as they currently exist, exist at all in 100 years, we're REALLY doing it wrong.
Somebody will see this post and invent what will become the Matrix.
The only flaw to the matrix is it was forced upon people.
Yeah, but it could theoretically develop self consciousness and refuse to release the player. Other than that minor safety concern, I think the Matrix would be fun.
... only if someone programmed it to.

This is what all the AI alarmists misunderstand. You have to program a program to develop self-awareness.
Why did you have to ruin my little scenario with the facts? It makes for an interesting fantasy...like in I, Robot...that one robot was programmed to have dreams, emotions, etc. Anyways, to counteract your fact (and keep my point alive of that eventually becoming the matrix), I will say that some lonely person could, theoretically, program the system to have emotions, logic, etc and it would then be self-aware and become the Matrix. I believe that's checkmate friend. Good playing with you. :)
BTW, I'm not an AI alarmist...especially considering that, worse case scenario, it would simply take an EMP or a magnets to "kill" the threat.
I know kung fu...

OMG, for some reason that caught me by surprised and made me laugh so hard. I thought it was the person who brought up the fact. Well, uh, good for you? I dunno...what's the proper response to that? I know Tae Kwon Do, some Army Combatives, and (I wouldn't really refer to this as a discipline) have been in a few backyard wrestling matches were things were BARELY staged. By BARELY staged, I mean that the punches, kicks, blood, thumbtacks, barbed wire, steel chair, and fire were all real...don't know if that counts for anything though...other than a concussion and (maybe?) some brain damage...oh, and 2 little scars on my forehead.

Answers from the FUTURE!!! (I have a time machine and the first thing I used it for was to ask them your questions.)
Kevin7557 said:
"What genetic mod should I get?" Fire
"How Microsoft Really died, The conspiracy finally broken wide open." Um, Atari took that over.
"Aliens have invaded our colony world, should I buy a gun or the latest Final Fantasy?" Why would you need a gun when you have mods? They are much less of a hassle. So I would say this 'Final Fantasy' thing you're talking about.
"How hot is the new miss Universe pictures!!!" Really hot, especially her tail mod
"What do you guys think of Duke Nukem forever 8?" That still hasn't come out yet.
"Halve Life series, greatest game never finished?" ???
"Anyone miss the US government?" All right, our world is different now so we don't really understand your politics. So, you picked the best liars to be your leaders?
"Roswell denied by alien overlords" Liars (yes, sadly versions of stereotyping still exist)
"Thinking of rebelling, which game should I get before I do." Qygons vs Bytrax 3
"Halo, Are they finally going to make one without spartans?" Uh, they made a prequel w/o them quite a few years.
"Electric Nuclear plant back on line in Michigan, suck it losers we have free juice." Haha, you used such primitive technology.
"Rolling blackouts to occur in underwater cities in California." I'm not sure what California is. (I explain). Oh, we gave up on Earth a long time ago, you people ruined it
"Obama into his 99th year of his sentence. God how I love genetic immortality." Um, no.
"Bush to be cloned and executed again, anyone going to go see it?" Why would you execute a plant?
"Should I get the new Sega system?" After researching what "Sega" was (they went out of business), I would say that's a mute point.
"Should I get the new Atari System?" YES!!! (Atari is now king of the gaming industry, among other things).
"Anyone know where I can get a copy of the finished Half Life episode 3 they found in the valve ruins?" That's rare to find in the first place, plus you would have to have a system that would run a game that old.
"Germany conquers world, opinions?" Your world? They can have it, like I said before, it's practically useless. Basically just half dump, half tourist trap.
"Hitler clone talkshow is the bomb." Charisma, besides Tyra Banks had one during your days so why was that such a surprise?
"Yatzee lives, another siting in Australia." Shouldn't that be "sighting"?
"Leftist are trying the global warming and Ozone crap again, thoughts?" We fixed all 3 of those problems.
"Oppression 4 best game ever?" At best, it's still second to Qygons vs Bytrax 3.
"Praise our glorious alien overlords (a kiss arse thread)". Why? They were actually practically useless. For all the hype you had for finding intelligent lifeforms on other planets (which I thought was weird since you also seemed to have a phobia of them destroying earth), they were little more than a race of...how do I put this? Well, as you would say, they are like fans of Bieber or the Jonas Brothers.

"Have you had the internet installed into your brain yet?"

"OMG they thought the world was going to end in 2012 LOL?"

"So now that China owns half the world...."
