Darfur is Dying Game Demo

What a great lesson to learn, People in Darfur can improve their chances of survival by inviting their friends on Facebook.

Realize the victims of this genocide barely survive on a day to day basis. They're facing a heavily armed, well-financed group backed by the Sudanese government. You mention fight or flight; over 2 million victims have been displaced by the genocide:e.g. flight.The victims have little access to water, food, and shelter, the basic things needed to survive. You condemn them for not fighting back, but unless you provide them the tools with which to fight, you're just adding insult to injury.

@doomheart2001 How ignorant can you be? Seriously. At what point did I say that US troops should get involved? You keep harping on this but there are NO US troops in Sudan. None. I never said there should be (just another of your ignorant assumptions). It goes along with you assuming that I don't do anything about the situation merely because I'm not responding to it with violence. As for my soul-you are coldly blaming unarmed victims of genocide for their own murders-worry about your own soul!

@doomheart2001

The ridiculousness of your argument and total lack of compassion for fellow humans speaks for itself.

@doomheart2001

The US' involvement is diplomatic only, their govt doesn't get aid from us and there are NO US troops in UNAMID (the peacekeeping force). Also, you keep harping on these victims of genocide not fighting back, but you refuse to recognize that they are UNARMED people targeted for extinction by a wealthy government rich on oil that can pour resources into their termination. They are utterly powerless, and not by choice.

@doomheart2001

Actually I know quite a lot about the situation in Darfur. What I don't know is how you expect unarmed farmers to fight back against cluster bombs being dropped from Antonov jets or heavily armed men conducting a genocide against the black Africans of Darfur. There are 2.7 million people that are living in IDP camps, often surrounded by enemy rebel forces or the Janjaweed with little physical protection and limited access (if at all) to food, water, medical care or firewood.

@doomheart2001 Because when a group is powerless and facing unbeatable odds, standing up and fighting for the freedom and safety of the weak is necessary for us to retain our humanity. To KNOW that horrible atrocities are happening, and to have the power to stop them but choosing instead to sit back and do nothing, makes us complicit.

@doomheart2001 i agree

[skittlesareyum48]

such a shame what humans can do to one another, play this game at least to learn from it if not read up on it on the internet or something

[TOILETLOG]

gonna take more than a video game to fix that problem. all those people play the game but still nothing happens. you want to know why? because nobody cares. and, the people who can do something are pussies. that of course would be the united nations. darfur = another UN failure.

"For a growing number of people, gaming is a logical medium for rigorous communication and social outcome. With the unique affordances that agency in games makes possible, such as 'embodied experience' and 'self-realization', together with the affinity that the player community experiences, distances may be shortened, both physical and ideological."

LOL...i need to play this game, my embodied affordances need some more self-realizing.
