Throwing a fit about sex in a video game is ridiculous.
Check out around 0:35 for a sensible view on how people are uptight about sex in general.

I liked that bit.  Thanks for sharing. :happy:

Hey it was good publicity. Plus doesn't seeing reactionary bigots on the news make you feel good about yourself? (how enlightened are we?!)

No, they make me fear some incoming very stupid laws. Like we would not have enough stupid laws already.


Edit: Should games not by the way enjoy freedom of speech constitutional thing in USA?

Well, currently yes they do, at least as much as movies do.  M is equivalent to R and AO is XXX.  Although, the ESRB tends to be a bit stricter on what gets said ratings than the MPAA.  As I mentioned eariler, take the Dead or Alive series for example. Game is M, movie is PG-13.

As for incoming stupid laws, I HOPE we have enough sane politicians in Congress to vote down bills from people like Jack Thompson and Sam Brownback (big anti-pornography senator from Kansas. He even would shut down all strip clubs if he could, although he's not succeeded... yet.)

frankly, i laughed at the news report when it was released. i don't watch fox news because frankly, i just can't stand the political nonsense they air day-after-day, but that's topic for another discussion.



i found the sex scenes in me1 to be artfully done and very tasteful. perhaps growing up in a military family, and later joining the military myself has given me a very thick skin when it comes to most situations. who knows. but, one thing that i do like to bring up in this topic when it arises, and i hate myself for doing so every time, is this: remember the movie titanic? came out in '98 or '99, whichever, doesn't matter. anyways, that movie was only rated pg-13 and it had nudity in it.



it just amazes me that a movie rated pg-13 can have nudity in it, and go on to be the highest grossing movie of its time, and a video game rated m gets demonized for showing side-boob. it just amazes me to no end.



makes me almost glad i haven't lived in the US for almost a decade now.

Argh what's up with the crazies in Kansas? I mean for crying out loud, there's a church down there that goes to solder's funerals and start spouting off vile crap. . . I know because I was at one where I lost a buddy of mine.



It took some incredible inner strength not to knock one of them off of their feet when I was there. Hell they messed up the eulogy, one of his close friends wanted to make as he was being lowered to rest.



I think what pissed me off even more recently about it, was what Arizona did. They made a law to keep them away from the funerals of this recent fiasco, concerning this nutcase and the senator. I'm like my buddy wasn't that important enough for this as well? I would have been satisfied if they at the very least kept them out of the grave yard, so we didn't have to strain to hear over their dam chanting / shouting of vile crap. Course maybe now there is a infringement law / boundary.

The owner of FOX (forgot his name) is alleged to have said:
"We broadcast the news that I want people to see !"

And you know what ? I believe him (to have said that).

Rupert Murdoch. And he probably didn't say that. What he's often said is that they will focus on the news "people" want, instead of having editors making news for "themselves". Which of course amounts to the same thing. He's also stated that they wanted to "set the agenda" on Iraq - this is openly the element of participation in shaping news-coverage in order to be more dramatic, rather than simply correct or informative.

Meanwhile, "creating the news" as an official modus is something we can easily assign more or less exclusively to the rise of shock media with FOX at the forefront. To a degree that advertisement driven short term "new media" can't ever hope to ascend.

But imagining Murdoch as if he was... a curiously similar looking James Bond villain in Goldeneye, or something.. that's just silly.

In reality, it's about creating your own loyal audience, and feeding them steadily what they want to hear. Newt Gingrich had very similar ideas when it comes to the "perpetual campaign" they started for the GOP around 2000. And either of those are again similar to successful business-models that recur in various markets and corporations.

Which in the best sense is about offering a loyal consumer-base a specific product that satisfy their needs. And in the worst sense is preying on people's uninformed and uncritical opinions, while pandering consciously to the most common denominator at any cost.

Thanks good insightful posting. They should have respect meter in this forums so I could give you some.

Played ME in second mission on the citadel and met a journalist on the disco. I wish ME could be modded so that the name of the journalist could be put with a name Cartha MacMallum and she would have additional dialogue options:

Cartha: So, you know, I need some information.
Shepard: This information is going to cost you.
Cartha: I'm ready for it *smile*
Shepard: Good, lets get it done then.

After that a "graphical" sex cutscene in hotelroom would show xD

Edit: Afterwards Shephard would have three choises on what to do.

1. [Give information to Cartha.]
2. [Say you did not get enough and you have to meet again.]
3. [Give false information to Cartha.]


If I were in Bioware, then in ME3 Cartha MacMallum would show up in some proper scene
