What a horribly written article.

Also, how much you want to bet they find this thread and report on the two-thirds or so of the thread that's four or five people going OLOL I WANT CUT KID HEAD OFF

Notice it's a copy from an Examiner article. AKA one of the terrible untrustworthy tabloids. Not really a surprise it's poorly researched :P

Why even make that effort? The media might as well go off on a fully fictional tangent, like they did with Mass Effect.

EDIT: Some sort of anti-violence group already have their eyes on it.
Who?

Won't make news they said.

Politics always needs something to bitch about. Do you see how many people raise the thought how violence, murder, rape, and all the common shit is blamed on video games? Sure it was a lot back then, but people don't see the fact that if you're that stupid enough to think it's okay to kill, rape, or even assault people just because you play a game, then you need to go into a damn asylum. Personally... i like playing games with violence, and violence i do... very well... but i'm not someone who goes about on a killing spree.

Besides, if anyone wants to yell about something, sooner or later, they're gonna yell at Dwarf Fortress with it's "unique... things". Being able to eat brains, perform cannibalism, and even be so invincible, you can completely cause a mass genocide on the entire world, and still continue to hold on. And as i said, sooner or later, some ass is gonna start to push it out.

Sorry for all the cursing, but i wanted to state my opinion in my own way, then try to be perfectly polite. Besides... thats what american freedom is all about anyways.

Personally, i wanna see how this game plays out. Hell, i'd even want to play it myself. But does people need to bash games just because of the things they're based upon? They're game, simulated, and unsimulated things about life, fantasy, or even sci-fi. The main function people play the games for is enjoyment... and to relieve their boredom. But when it comes to you performing murder, or even rape outside because you "thought it was cool" when playing a game, thats when you know you need help.

So yeah, if politics want to yell about something, it's the people who think it's "cool" when it happens in a game, not the games themselves

Wouldn't it be cool if all of our screen names made the news?

At least neither article was freaking the fuck out. Vidjagam violence isn't really a hot topic right now, thank God. Not like they can do anything besides further alienating gamers.

I'm not sure if that can even be done legaly. I've forgotten most of my knowlage on privacy laws in regards to the media.

They won't, I doubt this will garner more than a passing mention on any televised news program, and that's a very generous statement.

They used Crimson's name without asking, I assume.

Shit, I haven't said anything too bad. Bring it on, Fox News.

We thought that before, and now these articles popped up. I doubt the media could really understand rougelike games well enough to report on them, but they very well could try just make stuff up so that they can harm the status of gamers in society without anyone questioning it.

Honestly, if a major station really does decide to make a story on this thread, they won't have the balls to run anything but some of the more crazy sounding posts after being photoshopped. I'd sure like to see them do otherwise, but it won't happen.
