Hey look...I'm a robot.

   
    In the "best-seller" video game Crysis 2, a man named Alcatraz is cursed. Not cursed because of some mumbo-jumbo but because he was placed in a robotic armor. The armor connects with your DNA, exclusively, and gives you a ton of upgrades. The game takes place in 2023 and like every other cliche story line, the setting is the big apple (NYC). Earth is being attacked by aliens and the only way to stop this invasion is by having a super-soldier take on the enemy. Because the suit is made from the same things found in the aliens, it can regenerate your health, improve your vision, your jumping abilities, and the way you move as a whole.

    Now I bet you're asking yourself, "How is he cursed? I'd love that!". Well, here's some news for y'all. Towards the end of the game, Alcatraz becomes immune to pain. Again, "Oh my God, so cool!" No. He's been hit so many times, has jumped from so many high areas, and has been running around with no food or drink, he's a walking corpse. The suit allows you to live forever, inside of it. Outside of the suit, having gone through so much damage, you're no longer able to function as a human. This leads to my conclusion, Bio-Tech in the future. Scientists will go through anything to get the perfect apparatus. This video game is a just another example as to how crazy the world is going in order to succeed in creating a dystopian society. :]
