Hey that reminds me that in "The little Mermaid"
The preist that marries them in the end pop's a boner when they walk up to him.
Seriously, the short little dude, he's in the bottom right corner, its hard to notice unless someone points it out to you. Maybe he's the king or something, SOME LITTLE guy...i forget the characters.
plus i think thats the movie with the castle shaped like a penis...I forget
Some people in this thread have the audacity to say that this is, in fact, grannies fault.
Clearly this is Take-two's fault and Rockstars, they are to blame for this. This is not something some one is scapegoating, this is ligit and they will loose to grandma.
Did you not read the article? Rock* was physically there, and they engaged in misleading and deceptive practices and coerced her into buying it. I believe she was actually held at knife point...
They used imtimidation, they threatened her life!! Besides, game ratings are not to be taken serious....they're more like suggestions as opposed to restrictions of age. They really mean "hey, MAYBE you want to wait. ah screw it, BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME you'll win a car...
where was I going with this...
oh yeah its rockstars fault, not helpless granny. I've been saying this for so long, kids are innocent until corrupted by an EVIL corporation. like microsoft;)
I would like to take this time to announce my lawsuit against Rockstar (all the cool kids are suing them these days)
(ahem) Rockstar engaged in misleading and deceptive practices that led me to buying a soda at lunch today. I have since spilled that soda on my pants, and it grieved me so. I once saw a character in GTA:SA drink a beverage, which led me to my soda-purchasing ways. Cleary they are to blame. I want $85 million for damages, $14 for fun, and $7 million in grievances. We can settle out of court for a free copy of GTA:SA and beer money. PC version.
And I mean real beer money. No $12 for a 30 pack of 'stones. And certainly no fake money. oh yea cash for dry-cleaning.
They will start sucking the "ghosts" out of little girls and putting them into these 'androids'. They will drive 'normal' prostitues out of business, leading to the 'ho'-riots of every major city.
The real question of ethics is this : If I can pre-order Halo3 now, waaaay before it comes out, why can't I pre-order a japenese-android-12year-old-sex-slave?
Violence? Aggression? PEOPLE!
This is about naughty SEX!
You crush heads and break bones, even allow fights on the field or have the loosing team executed after the game. SO LONG AS they don't have sex or are encouraged to engage in sex.
If we keep sexuality out of games and media, our precious, perfectly innocent children wont learn of it until they are a proper age, like 30.
Its important to remember that raising your children should in no way take time away from YOUR all important life, and anything that goes wrong is the sole responsibility of something else that is sue-able.
REMEMBER! Children are perfect, until they are corrupted by someone else and its their fault. You are not responsible for your children, and should not have to educate, protect, or raise them yourself. That is the job of the Government. Now go back to paying attention to yourself.
Good to see someone remember the orig GTA, top-down view and all!
That game brought smiles to my face for years, and happy memories now. And dispite all my hours logged on that game i'm still a tax paying law-abiding citizen.
although I did get a speeding ticket. Who drive's 65 on the highway anyway?
This is so stupid it makes me nauseous. Where did these whiney politicians come from and why the f did we put them there?
Sometimes stupidity humors me but now its getting ridiculous.
It just reminds me of the South Park movie.
"Violence is ok, as long as they don't use any naughty words!!"
Ultimately, this reminds me of a friend I had in college. She grew up in a strict home. She didn't care about video games, so her parents never touched that one, but she did like sweets, which her parents limited to a notch above ZERO. So of course she would take any opportunity to eat some at a friends house, because their parents were "down with sweets".
Fast forward to college, when she didn't live under mommy and daddy's roof. She got fat. Not freshman 15, we're talking 30-40 lbs. No, not booze, CANDY. She made meals of the stuff, because it was so taboo in her house and now she was free! Keeping sweets from her only made her want it more. If had been exposed and educated on the cow-like effects caused by twinkies and twix, maybe she would be hot again. sadly, not the case.
I hate to sound like a hippie, and I mean HATE to, but seriously education is the answer here. That and taking a moment of parents sweet, precious time to PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR KIDS. I played any and every damn game I could get my hands on, violent or not. My parents didn't care, because they made sure I understood the difference between video games and reality (its not too far fetched...). I grew up around a buttload of guns too, my dad being a fan of hunting, and I've yet to be violent, let alone shoot someone, because I know guns == DANGA'!
my parents raised me, not let the government do it. And when I screwed up, I, me, the perpetrator, suffered the consequences. Not the Publisher/Developer of PAPER BOY, and certainly not Canada. Although Canada IS to blame for their silly looking "Mounties".......what a name.
I think they're pissed because the masses used to love MS (before they knew any better) they were chapmions of computers, ushering in a new age for modern capitalist consumers, blah blah blah.
now because of arrogance (com'on, who WOULDN'T want to work for MS . . . ) and plagued by security issues and over charging for EVERY PIECE OF CRAP THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR redmont ass, the masses no longer love them.
Google is the new fad! Search, oh its so quick! and they're so cute too! zooming in on the moon gives you cheese!
the hype is all on google, regardless if they aren't in direct competition. The new cool kid in school always gets shit from the guys who used to be the coolest, its jelousy, with a legal twist.
OR....
MS just has two dart boards somewhere that they use once a week. One has people/companies, the other with Bullshit reasons. you throw one dart at each and thats who you sue!
What do you mean "why does a lawsuit in California or Washington really matter"?
He was going to china to WORK for one of them. I believe MS had ideas of him working over there, and its been stated that Google intended for him to work over there. Its not about where he's working, ie states / china, its about WHO he's working for.
I think MS is insulted that someone as "big" as this guy is hyped up to be would rather work for someone else, let alone Google. I mean, who WOULDN'T want to work for MS? honestly....they're like the greatest company in the universe. EVER.
And if you dont agree, maybe we could step into the back room with no cameras and I can introduce you to Bruno and his baseball bat
oh, you and you're big fancy words and your small, difficult ones.
I'm not going to pretend to know what 'polyploidy' means but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it is in fact a real word with actual meaning. My sole intent was to point out the scientific insignificance of this 'polyploidy' experiment and put it up there with some astronomical pig sperm. No matter how many movies we make about bad things happening after sending things into space (Planet of the apes / Event horizon / Space balls) or genetic manipulation ( Jurassic Park / Akira / various south park episodes... ) we still pursue it.
Number of people genetically big fish could feed : countless Number of hippie conservatives who will bitch about playing God : countless + butload
Relax...this is all a grand scheme by the Ministries of Transportation in countries that have native Elephants to improve the safety of their taxi system(s)
"Accepting such a position with a direct Microsoft competitor like Google violates the narrow noncompetition promise Lee made when he was hired as an executive," Microsoft said in its lawsuit. "Google is fully aware of Lee's promises to Microsoft, but has chosen to ignore them, and has encouraged Lee to violate them." WHAAA!WHAAA! They stole our best friend! I'm gonna tell! Here's a rag, whipe your bleeding vagina
"The company said it wants Lee barred from disclosing any Microsoft trade secrets or other confidential information."
Developing a product thats useful and breaking it into 5 different products that are useless by themselves and overcharging for ALL of them is not a secret...
The Chinese are going to wake up and say we missed this opportunity
Bill Gates knows they will say this because he works so closely with them, censoring their internet content and all.
DEMOCRACY ooops i said a bad word....
I must be out of the loop, the last online game I played was star craft (3v3 nrmm like its my job)
Let me get this straight....you buy a game...with real money...which really cannot be played OFFLINE, and then you pay MORE real money to play it. Isn't that like buying a computer, and then paying a monthly fee to turn it on?
So how long until I don't have to physically get off my fat ass and buy a game, instead I simply download it and pay for it to suck?
Are these the 'up and coming' I keep hearing about

Pig Sperm in Space
·
· Score: 3, Funny
5 minutes ago I didn't like my job.
Now I think its ok, because I found out that somewhere on the other side of the earth, some guy/girl/small-child is collecting pig sperm.
To send... into space
And be brought back in an attempt to "understand better the processes involved in pig reproduction". I bet NASA is pissed that the Chinese beat us to this one...
Many swines' died to bring us this information....
I think colonies in space would develop into their own nationality, regardless of who put them there, because they would be the ones living there.
For example, Europeans colonized the americas, which formed into their own countries over a realitively short time.
Regardless, we don't really have the tech to make this real anyway, look at the international space station. sure, weightlessness is ok for a space station, but I think gravity might be just a little more important for an entire colony. All we could really do now is put some beacon there to prove its stable, and have it constantly transmit "Future site of another wal-mart" or something to that nature.
I do think that we need to hurry this up though so I can have more room for my epic battles in my Gundam. My neighbors are starting to get pissy about all the mass destruction I've been doing lately, fighting the Earth Alliance and all, plus it does look alittle out of place in my driveway
True, however I dont recall saying that Mario/Luigi were not a minorty themselves. My comment was by no means very politically correct nor was it ever intended to be
There was a news story this morning on CNN about kids going to trial for the 'stomping death' of a homeless man.
It's blatently obvious that this devious behavior is none other than the result of years of playing violent video games such as SUPER MARIO Bros and SUPER MARIO BROS 3, where innocent children are misguided into playing the role of the malacious character 'MARIO' in STOMPING koopas to death!
Not only does it induce children to stomp out the life of other beings, but it also teaches children racism. 'MARIO' and 'LUIGI' (if that is indeed their REAL names) are obvious and unfair sterotypes of Italian people. Koopa's are obviously represent a minority or, in this case but not limited too, homeless people as they are portrayed as mindless and capable of doing nothing but making you small.
These graphic and violent video games need to be banned so that my children are never exposed to the ideas such as racism or bigotry or the stomping of turtles. I'm a firm believer that so long as my children are shielded from violence that they will never be tempted to enjoy it, and further by controling every thing they are exposed to they will grow to be a wonderful contribution to our violence and sexuality free world. So long as they are not exposed to it until they turn 18 and their body chemically realigns itself into a mature state overnight, I wont need to waste precious time out of my day and my life and divert any attention away from myself, because that is what's important, to educating my child. And remember what kyle's mom said: "violence and sex are ok, so long as they don't use any dirty words!"
It might have been a randomly generated ad, but i thought it was funny as hell that i'm reading an article about how windows security sucks and mac's is better and the middle of the article is pushed to the side to accomodate a good size ad saying :
"find the tools and guidance you need for a well guarded network" with a microsoft logo in the top corner...
Although I'm sure there is a senator(s) somewhere that do link communisim and video games . . . it's really only a matter of time before one of them has the nerve to say it
I never knew video games were not unlike war simulations the military has. In that case my mom should be the greatest general we have, she must beat tetris atleast once a day.
Kinda persuades you to join the army though doesn't it? I mean how bad can it be if you've got over-shield, cloak, an asault rifle and an energy sword. Tell south korea to watch out of i'll go "running wild" on 'em
