Do the Japanese programmers behind a popular video game series know something we don't? Probably lots of things! Like how to program a videogame! But do they also know. . . .THE FUTURE?!
The 2004 video game "Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War" is a flight simulator, built around a war between a tiny nation, Osea, and a neighboring powerhouse, The Union of Yuktobanian States. They have a territorial dispute. Hrm, what does this remind anyone of. . . perhaps the breakaway Georgian Republic, Ossetia, that's sparked a war with Russian! Osea, Ossetia; The Union of Yuktobanian States, The Russian Federation?! Also, there's been a suspicious amount of air combat between Georgia and Russia in this one-day war, with Georgia losing 10 fighters and Russia losing two. VIDEO GAME PROGRAMMERS KNOW THE FUTURE!!
I, for one, quake in anticipation of the rabid aliens, zombies, and Nintendogs that will soon overwhelm our cities.
War, real and fake.
