For anyone not aware of why the latest Hulkageddon may never go away this article may shed some light on it.

So basically al qaeda has all the oil fields and is using the money to pay suicide bombers to blow up malls and seeing how high the price of gas goes.

Hulkageddon has always had a alternative motive behind it. Either by causing a increase in demand/cost for hulks or decreasing the supply of minerals which should mean a increase in cost. It now being about tech is nothing special nor surprising.

Yeah, no.

If your absurd and offensive metaphor were made accurate, it would be like Carnegie Steel hiring people to steal cars and blow the cars up.

Oil doesn't build Malls, and Al Qaeda doesn't currently hold any Oil wells, let alone being part of a Cartel, finally HAG doesn't physically hurt anyone.

Comparing a game to real world acts of terrorism is offensive to people who understand the distinction between fantasy and reality.

Offensive to someone who doesn't understand the term "metaphor," maybe.

I just SAID that last night. If a drunk idiot with heatstroke can figure it out, why are you touting it as the new conspiracy theory?

Sheesh.

meta for what?

As the rest of my post detailed, part of the offense comes from the spectacular inaccuracy of the "metaphor"

Meta 4. The best non-shiny tech 1 stuff. Sometimes as good as or better than tech 2.
