I'm not sure if this is an indication that peak oil has gone mainstream, or is being trivialized as adolescent fantasy.

Frontlines: Fuel of War

Anyone heard of this game yet? The developers must have spent a lot of time on this site!

The "game" is still a beta.. I'm invovled as one of the Beta testers...
Some real cool weapons in it..

WOW! These guys definitely definitely spent time here, read Kunstler, etc.

As a video game player myself, I think this could have a significant impact on the perception of peak oil by the youth who play it. Especially if it turns out to be a very good game. Hopefully, the game will have more peak oil references spread through it in cut scenes, etc.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'I') guess it will be another just another 1st person shooter. Now if it were combined with a strategy game where you fight for limited resources that would be cool. Like beans and bugout houses, or better yet human flesh and people farms

Love the zombie horde attack on the truck - it's like something right out of the pages of PO.com!

What is interesting is the premise that war is necessary when the oil runs dry. Is it priming the populace for more Iraq's?

I can imagine that America's Army (the US Army video game) will begin creating missions in oil producing regions that play off the peak-oil fear. If they have not already.

I think the paradigm shift is starting. The populace is starting to become ready to accept the pragmatic, real reasons for the US forward foreign policy. No more "spreading liberty and democracy" lip service bullshit. People are beginning to understand that their way of life is in danger and are accepting the reasons for the US foreign policy initiatives in the Middle east, and other places. Or the rejection of Kyoto,

Good or bad , I don't know.

Looks like a cool game though.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos6507', 'T')he game seems to put forth the idea that in an oil-strapped future that the military will be able to fight with gas-guzzling tanks, copters, jets, and so on. I just don't see it. I see it reverting back to a lot of small arms fire like something pre WWI.

I find it depressing that there is a growing admission from the general public that the major oil producers are entering a resource cold-war and yet we cling to our SUVs like a teat. Cognitive dissonance at its best.
