BOOSH!

When I go back to playing CoD, you can always tell I've been playing Bioshock recently when my strategy suddenly becomes standing with my back to a corner, desperately looking around to make sure there's no one around me.

@ThatGuyFromTV No, the thing is that they ARE Anonymous. Today Anonymous is protesting Scientology, and tomorrow they're stealing credit card numbers. And that is what Anonymous stands for that day.

That's the problem with Anonymous.

I'm all for them and what many feel are their commonly held beliefs, but you can't "masquerade" as a member of a group whose main component is anonymity.

There is no leader and no card to carry (and that's the point) so there is no one who can say "That isn't Anonymous, and here's proof!" You can have one hundred different people who all have one hundred different goals for whatever their action may be and, given the nature of the "group" (it's a non-group) they are all, collectively, Anonymous.

Even if these guys are like "Let's pretend to be Anonymous!" by pretending or framing them, they have become them. Even if they didn't do any of that, if the media has labeled them as Anonymous, then they are.

One day we will have one "faction" of Anonymous distancing themselves from another "faction" who is, in fact, attacking another "faction."

When you take part in something like Anonymous, you gave to take the good with the bad.

The other problem is that while some "members" are good natured or just doing things because they're funny, others can do harm with that anonymity and many outsiders (such as the media) don't understand the nature of Anonymous and lump them all together, tarnishing the label itself.

Wheatley is a robot. He doesn't fully understand love. The most he could understand is that a parent loves their child and cannot see how one who is not a biological parent could love someone else as a child.
Therefore to be adopted is an insult in his mind.

He's an ignorant (or naive) artificial intelligence.

That being said, I get it.
But rather than making a big deal, maybe it can open new discussion topics for parent and child about adoption, love, and/or the advancement of artificial lifeforms and their abilities to understand and empathize with human emotion.

Whichever.

I'm not an Anonymous hater. Personally, I think a lot of their activities are hilarious and the entire notion intrigues me.
But they're a non-group. If these hackers claim to be of Anonymous, they are.
Anonymous can't "stand" for anything concrete, only what is going on at the moment.

Today they stand for stealing credit card numbers, tomorrow they may stand for taking down the WBC or protesting Scientology.

This is the curse of Anonymous. They are forced to support ANY activity done in their name.
One day we will have multiple Anonymous groups distancing themselves from each other's activities.

My friend took some "Charlie Sheen" and died. This would go a long way in making me feel better.

Not that it would matter because you're still 'witnessing' it in game, but isn't that the level they made where you didn't have to fire a single shot if you didn't want to?

Well, looks like I'll be buying Portal 2 on my Mac and not my 360. Thanks, Microsoft. Good for you Sony.

I'm surprised. I scrolled dow the first page of comments and didn't see the word "cake" once.
