Holy shit. If her meddling attitude isn't bad enough, look at this. ::)

LMFAO.

She is a publicity hound who thinks she knows what is best for everyone :thumbdn:
-
players are rewarded for shooting enemies in the private parts (such as the buttocks). There’s an excess of profanity, of course, including frequent use of F-words.
Damn, I really want this game now. :laugh:
-
I played it and I honestly think it's brilliant, especially the dialogue. It's a bit too easy for my liking though.
-
I wonder if Duke has played it yet! It might restore his faith in the industry! :orly:
-
Anything we like = he automatically hates.
Maybe if I said I liked Pentagram will put him off it. :zoinks:

I'm just sick of this kind of thing. Its not like video games are any more violent or adult than they have ALWAYS been. I mean cm'on. I think dumb old hosehounds like liberman are just noticing it now because the graphics and such have been greatly improved.
Anyone remember the original quake? There was a shitload more gore in that game than bulletstorm.

I can't wait to see what she has to say about Mortal Kombat 9 :zoinks:
Especially this fatality :zoinks: :zoinks: :zoinks:

Sane person + violent games = won't shoot everyone.
Insane person + violent games = will shoot everyone.
Some people will commit violence regardless of what game they play, what music they listen to etc. These types will harm others out of influence of even the most relaxing/harmless genres of music, for example.
-
I have a feeling that insane persons killed before videos, computers, TV, cartoons and even books existed. Just a feeling.
-
Herp derp
-
I just want to make my point clear that gore in video games is nothing new, and if anything its been toned down somewhat. Liberman just has nothing to do with her life and/or had a terrible childhood.

These anti-video game crusaders fucking seriously need to be killed in an extremely brutal fashion. :wanker:

I'd rather just play the games rather than listen to some self-proclaimed expert saying it'll make me shoot my entire college. However if one bans games, one should also ban ALL forms of media. Everything from books to films are specifically made to manipulate you emotionally, whether that's anger, feeling of sadness etc. Yes, you are being controlled by not just the government, but by the authors, the musicians and the artists. :zoinks:
For me it's like this when it comes to games:
Killing a person in a game = I feel nothing, since I know it's only a bunch of pixels/wireframe with a texture slapped onto it. Sometimes it may be even funny. It's even less worse than dismantling my PC or breaking something.
Killing a person IRL = Scared shitless and feeling of guilt since I know said person was real.

Exactly. This is the same as when laws were passed making lsd illegal, or weed, or other fun stuff that doesn't really hurt anything. Just because some jackass is a psycho and would shoot up a school or bomb a building or commit suicide or something ANYWAY engages in some sort of fun activity and flips the fuck out doesn't mean all the other normal individuals will. Aforementioned individual bombed a building because they're a psychopath, not because they dropped a couple of hits of acid.
This kind of thing really pisses me off. You see it in so many things. Tv, games, sports, just about everything. I don't understand why so many people thing that boycotting fun things is the only way to make stuff less dangerous. Following that logic, we should all just be in straight jackets in a brightly lit room with padded walls. Oh wait, no lights because someone might acidentally stare at them too long and go blind. Oh wait, we have to get rid of the air because someone might hyperventilate repeatedly on purpose and commit suicide.
Fucking ridiculous. If someone is crazy enough to be a suicidal murderer, they are going to do it regardless of violence in video games, or the availability of drugs. >:(
