Way too Cool... Video game mentions "PNAC"

[The Doctor.]

The new game "Destroy All Humans" is peppered with political commentary throughout... including scientists who state that the drugged populace has become 'paranoid and aggressive and now tend to register as Republicans'.

But the kicker is when a villian-like top level government official talks to a four-star general about the new plan to combine the military under the "Project for a New American Century".

This is especially interesting because the game is set in the 1950's.

(That and it's very theraputic to go about disintegrating things.)

Anyone see this game for PS2 yet?

1. Destroy All Humans!

"My food is making humans paranoid and aggressive. And as a side benefit, 73% of them are registering Republican!"

:D

[The Doctor.]

4. Yes! That was it!

Hey... why is it that you can only complete 55% of the game?

I took over America and the game ended... why not the rest of the world?

2. I played it for XBOX

Absolutely hilarious!

"But they're covered with NIPPLES!"

it should get a prize for best script.

3. I love that game!

I've also heard a reference to TANG. Pick up a soldier and they may say, "I knew I shoulda joined the Texas Air National Guard." Other times they might say, "Sir, I'd like to inform you that this soldier is about to :puke:, sir!"

[The Doctor.]

5. Yes, no Question they poke fun at

The Commander-in-Chimp.

So how do you get past the 55% ceiling?

[Warren Peace]

6. I'm at 46%, in Union Town.

Armquist is difficult to beat, though I have only fought him in his robot suit once.

To get past 55%, try getting more probes and completing optional challenges. (The orange-yellow lines coming from the sky.) :shrug:

My favorite part so far is when you :nuke: Area 42.

edited for typo.

8. I'm sure that by now you have found

The Ion Detonator to be a good solution while circumnavigating his 'mech'.

But the reason I'm curious about the 55% ceiling is that in one of the 'extras' they explain that Crypto has missions on more than one continent.

(you'll see)

9. Yes, it is. (That's one of my favorite weapons!)

My problem is his missiles. I jumped on top of the hangar and lobbed ion "grenades" at him, but it wasn't enough. :argh:

Have you ever killed him when he's outside his mech? (He takes the same amount of damage as a civilian.) It's easy to :kick: his butt.

[Warren Peace]

10. I'm at the 55% ceiling, too,

but I don't know what to do, either... :think: Maybe you have to get all the upgrades and then a certain amount of DNA.

If I find anything else out I'll post back here.

What are the "extras?"

7. Ah gaming and public education all at the same time

maybe this time it will not be science fiction mags, but games that will get teh commentary out there
