So that’s the lesson kids! Grow to have a lot of money and then give it to some sort of business that has “green” slapped to it and you will be environmentally conscious!! Good luck!!

Hahahahaha!!

I do understand the message about the need for a more sustainable lifestyle, but there much better ways to convey that message.

This idea may be too simplistic and everything but creative: Instead of asking the question “when you should die?”, it should ask “how much you are contributing to global warming?” or something like that and calculate (well, guesstimate) your greenhouse greenhouse emissions based on your lifestyle and provide a percentage of the total greenhouse emissions from your country, continent or world emissions. This way, we can get a different perspective on our lifestyles and the need to change them.

Overall, I agree that the message is needed, but the delivery needs to change.

Draw your own conclusions about the message of the game.

No, the message is clearly: Earth would be better off if we switched to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Gerald, always the the jokester with nothing real to say.

Granted, that’s not the same thing as telling you to pop some cyanide pills, but the message is clear: Earth would be better off if you were dead.

(who, besides “sucking a bit” and not knowing how to read, would like to smash TVs and video game consoles, ration out computers/cell phones to the nation, and ban A/C in houses north of Kansas to decrease electricity consumption to a fairer level…just so you know.)

That’s not what the site says, if you actually know how to read.

Rick — Are you saying that there is no sense at all in which we can say that North Americans are using more than their share of the earth’s resources?

Brilliant.

A good quote fro one blogger: “Never have I seen such a pure combination of Marxist-style zero-sum economics with science-challenged warming alarmism.”

No, we just think that, if we’re using too much of the world’s resources, we shouldn’t die for doing that, or be told we should die for doing that.

As for reading the site with a Catholic mind – I did too! I even took a look at Greena, their dumpily-dressed Warrior Princess, and checked out the Planet Slayer game, where (depending on whether you shoot car tires or picket signs) you either save the planet or destroy it for an overdressed “Ms. X-On.” And there’s the lifestyle measurer – “see how much you suck!” as the opening credits say. What’s more Catholic than reading the whole of a website in context?

I’ve decided I’m being too harsh on these people. They just want to have some smart-alecky fun with the rest of us.
