lose/lose


Recommended Posts

Although touching aliens will cause the player to lose the game, and killing aliens awards points, the aliens will never actually fire at the player. This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?

Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?

By way of exploring what it means to kill in a video-game, Lose/Lose broaches bigger questions. As technology grows, our understanding of it diminishes, yet, at the same time, it becomes increasingly important in our lives. At what point does our virtual data become as important to us as physical possessions? If we have reached that point already, what real objects do we value less than our data? What implications does trusting something so important to something we understand so poorly have?

what does the question of wether or not its right to kill the aliens have anything to do with how we are dependent on technology?

it sounds like an excuse for him to delete other people's files

Now that's a fun and interactive way of deleting random files on your computer. Who would've thought doing something like that would be so fun? Certainly not me.

I tried it. It didn't work.

ARe you running as an administrator in Vsta or Win7? Could be that it is picking a file that you can't access.
