I try to be understand, tolerant, and open minded, but some people simply shouldn’t be allowed to have a point of view.

I virtually raped Black Hawk with a shotgun in TF2 the other night. It was kinda orgasmic. I was like "OH OH OH YEAAAAHHHH" and he was all "****"*

15 Jan 2008 ~ 9:11am GHoosdum CB, are you trying to say that legislated morality isn't the answer? Then what are we going to do with our government's huge enforcement and judicial resources when Hilary legalizes recreational drug use if we can't use it to prosecute gamers?
15 Jan 2008 ~ 9:18am CB Actually, I wasn't even referring to his political beliefs.

This guy actually thinks that Mass Effect is just about alien lesbo sex. It's a combat FPS. There is one scene in the game where a couple of the characters make-out for a minute, but it is by no stretch of the imagination the objective of the game to have virtual sex with supermodels...

The thing that makes this guy an asshat isn't how he feels about violent or sexual media. He's free to have his own opinion about that. The thing that makes him an asshat is that he's literally attacking a specific piece of media which he has quite obviously not experience for himself.

It's not uncommong for those who politisize video games to not have played them, but this guy takes the cake. It's like he based his whole concept of the game off of a description of what you can do in the game that he got from a 10 year old boy, who heard his 14 year old brother talk about watching his friend play the game.

Why would he want to play a sex simulator? I'm sure he's getting plenty on his own...

15 Jan 2008 ~ 10:16am Gate28 wow. isnt there a law about putting out something like this without first consulting the game developers?

If there isnt, shouldnt there be at least one game on site to screen it and say "uh, bro, Mass Effect is about si-fi shooting, not lesibean sex."

Once more, he go on about how inexperience in the subject, saying that XBox360 is the most "market suseceptable system" or something to that effect. That title belongs to Wii, and if they really wanted to put out a lezbo sex sim, it would be on Wii (for reasons im sure you can imagine.)

Reminds me of claims about the sims made by Jack Thopmson...

I think Prime is one of those born-again-fundamentalist-neo-liberal-conservative-seventh-day-hasidic-buddofascist-rastafarian Buddists...

Under his belief system, he can express in any term how much he PWNed your ass in any game he plays... He just has to do it with kindness in his heart.....

ding! rada nailed it!

My intentions are good - I'm helping you break the cycle of samsara by encouraging your realization that all things are impermanent - such as the life of your pyro and your ability to hold on to Control Point B.

I do it because I love you.
