# press x to disrespect cod advanced warfare > is that you john wayne? is this me? > ~ jokerman from full metal jacket consider there's nothing wrong with the stunningly cheesy quicktime event that appears during the military funeral cutscene in call of doritos: advanced dewfare. consider that the cutscene itself might be a precise incision into the raw ideology of cod an attempted post by theodore miles perhaps there's no true ludonarrative dissonance at work in this scene; no real awkwardness or embarrassment no poor writing or bad garme design on show - and neither does it mean cod has somehow become a 'parody' what parody? maybe the mere entire idea of 'cod' already seems a crass mockery and a clumsy ham-fisted travesty; an aggressive belittlement of (alleged) human intelligence; the crassness is arguably built in from the outset it's uncertain if those all too ready to scoff at this ludicrous button-mash prompt are aware of the inherent brain-damaging idiocy and mindless absurdity of the mere existence of cod that is consider cod as already unforgivably low-wattage input from its very conception; whatever crude or thoughtless events happen in it are always therefore fully in keeping with the hyper-cynical continually re-skinned corporate xbonerific franchise as a whole (dig the anti-irony contained in the fact cod: advanced warfare was developed by sledgehammer garmes) pressing a random button to signal that some 'complex set of emotions' is somehow occurring or to simulate them cannot be any less reductive and over simplifying because the mere existence of this humourless product is already a triviality; a massively reductive and self limited oversimplification (caption id="attachment_32967" align="aligncenter" width="656") intelligent 'next gen!!' gfx in cod(/caption) what might be darkly laughable is how this particular cutscene is somehow being 'disrespectful' of the dead - when the entire depressing garme is about pressing buttons to play a state sponsored mass murderer drone casually killing non pinky-white skinned people in the face and t-bagging ir corpses for teh lulz consider what's wrong about complaining about this particular button press - when all the other vacuous button mashing is supposed to be read and taken as somehow perfectly and unquestionably natural(tm) > well pilgrim only after you eat the peanuts outa my sheeet > ~ jokerman full metal jacket rather than some 'ironic' or otherwise ill fitting element the "press x" cutscene in cod is in fact fully representative of this tacky series - a perfectly harmonious example of naked apocalyptic scale human hostility innocently dressed up in its pious militaristic fascistic propaganda jive of 'freedom isn't free' 'sacrifice' 'duty' and 'sincere emotional investment' consider the whole idea of cod as a moronic quicktime event - something players should really be paying ir more heartfelt disrespects to **+** stay calm and keep pressing x **+** press x to feel something other than uncomfortably numb **+** press x to stare in silent horror at plastic face monster kevin 'creepazoidiac' spacey **+** press x to keep playing those lazy video garmes / your mind off your responsibilities to fellow human beings **+** amerika keeps pressing the large x in your dim head to make ya jerk in the right direction son // video here *yawn* // republic of bob
