Five Ways To Save Video Games

Posted by Zonk on from the they're-dying? dept.

Games.net has an article up with the somewhat dramatic title of Five Ways to Save Video Games. The piece doesn't feel the need to pull any punches. From the article: "#1 Stop Treating Women Like Whores - Sexy is fine. Titillating can be fun. But when you show stupid jiggle-physics and scantily-clad girls cooing and moaning and wriggling, you show yourselves for what you really are: sex-crazed children. And don't think for a minute that the mainstream media doesn't pick up on this. If you can't stop demeaning women (with skimpy outfits and hyper-sexuality) and men (by glamorizing massive musculature and testosterone-dripping masculinity), then get the hell out of the industry."

    ... is there anywhere I can do a Masters or PHD in jiggle-physics, this seems like a discipline that requires further study.

    No shit.

    I still remember when a friend bought home a case of Bud one day. Oh yes, I remember waking up the next day, feeling strangely bewildered and disoriented when I realized that despite the several cans of shitty beer I'd consumed the night before, I had not received even a single blowjob from hot, giggling college girls.

    A rude awakening, that was.. (well, waking up to a vomit-stained bed smelling vaguely reminiscent of that shitty generic beer taste was probably the most rude part).

    I'm just glad that the very first image was of a nice set of cartoon tubes. Made the whole click thing worth it.

    One thing to always keep in mind when watching Budweiser commercials. Those clydesdale horses aren't just their mascots, they are their production facility.
    1. Horse drinks water
    2. Horse expels said water in the normal fashion
    3. Anheiser-Busch collects waste water into bottles
    4. Bottles chilled and sold as Budweiser "Beer"
    5. Profit!!
    6. ???
    7. People wake up going WTF did I drink last night?
