On that note is it a waste of physical energy as well by exerting myself during gaming? That bag of Doritos could go to a starving child in a 3rd world country.

But you wouldn't be able to enjoy the tasty cheese then.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure this is.

It could, but it's not. You not consuming said bag of Doritos isn't going to make it go to a third world country.

We'd stop, but then you'd all just be complaining about gas prices doubling =P

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.

Not if you drive, it doesn't!

[Cyonan]

Not if you drive, it doesn't!

 

Then you don't need any steps!

 

Plus I lied, we wouldn't stop. We enjoy the money it brings in too much.

Still have to step to your car.

Yes, and you need energy for that long walk, lucky for you, you brought a bag of Doritos.

Is it wrong for me to want to drive up in a big American gas guzzler to where they are protesting and rev my engine just to ****** them off? I have always wanted to ****** people like that off.

I thought this thread was gonna be about all those super rare toxic elements and minerals that goes into making electronics, and the super-ineffective way of recycling all the outdated tech we throw out.

yay, 5% of the population decided to clean up their act.

 

Meanwhile 38% of the worlds population said "**** that noise, who wants to see us make hummer and escalade make a fucked up chop shop baby? Its half the cost of a real one, and takes up twice as much fuel. CHININDIA, **** YEAH!!! Coming Again, to Rule the Mother ****** World Now!"

I read a book about Ivory a month back. Trying to get a more complete history of elephants & man. Pretty interesting how far back it goes. For a long time ivory was plentiful enough just laying out in the bush that elephants weren't killed for it. Eventually empires arose & demanded it more. There were cyclical periods of demand & waning interest that often went hand in hand with the increase or scarcity of elephants. The Ivory & slave trades became almost one & the same. First for the arab slavers, whose system eventually grew to birth the slave trade in Europe & the Americas. Slaves would be captured for the purpose of carrying ivory to the coasts, where they would then simply be sold off as well. The ivory would also make it's way to the western & eastern markets.

Ivory has long been used for things like walking canes, piano keys, gun handles, & billiard balls. Every culture has found a use for ivory over the centuries, mostly because ivory is a pretty good material. Not just for decorations even. It absorbs sweat... important for things like guns, pianos & such where you'd expect a person to be touching it for extended periods, perhaps in moments of high stress.

So It would not surprise that if elephants weren't in so much trouble now, gaming related devices would turn to ivory. For the same reasons that ivory was in such demand for piano keys, you'd have ivory keyboard & mouse buttons, ivory for game controllers. It would fit perfectly with past uses of the material. It also wouldn't surprise me if some rich or pro gamers are using ivory with their gaming equipment. Perhaps that isn't too common even in countries with heavy demand for illegal ivory because gaming itself is pretty young compared to where most ivory goes towards, but it's one of those things you know someone has to be doing it. So that's where gaming could effect the environment in a way, by playing it's part in the long exploitation of elephants & other ivory producing animals.

F**k that its too far... But ah will walk 500 miles and maybe 500 more.

That is pretty a heavy topic too. Have you seen "Manufactured Landscapes"? The docu is pretty crazy to sit through, goes through that whole process, somehow almost makes a strangely beautiful picture out of pretty gross nightmarish images. It does a whole cycle too, of a product being made & where it ends up. It would not surprise me if some game devs who make wasteland & apocalyptic stories have seen this movie & had been inspired by it because wasteland is pretty much the word. Some of the places they filmed look straight out of Wall-E.
