Having moved past the 1 minute sex scene in Mass Effect, and the laughable controversy of Modern Warfare 2, they have now started bashing the new Medal of Honor because it allows players to play as the Taliban in online multiplayer. Here's the video:

I can't help but love these guys :D

Touchy bastards.

They're a little slow. This has been known for a while. Once it was revealed it was really just a question of when the media would kick up a stink.

I have never found Fox News reputable on any topic. It's a conservative's bitching network.

You know what's worse than FOX news? People that still are affected by what they do.

Someone finds something they don't like in a game/movie/whatever, throws a shitstorm and generates more publicity for it. I'd say it's a ploy to increase sales for the new Medal of Honor game... but I doubt they're smart enough to do that.

Wow, this is just amazing. Did they say anything about the Interactive Sex Scene on Fahrenheit Indigo Prohpecy?

Now you've done it topopoz, you've alerted the liberal right wing conservatists about it! Now they're gonna fuck that up...





.... Well, they would if they learned to read and if they knew what it was and how to do it...

lol! Hilarious xD

"ww2 not based on real people"

after hearing that (not exact words, but shortened) the bitch lost all credibility.
why do the media ALWAYS asks soccer moms, the ones that are NOT playing the game, about the game, ask US the gamers.

Very well said.

I actually listened to this video interview and I have two words...

Stupid bitch.

I'm not downplaying the loss of her son and he has a lot of balls to have gone out there and do what a lot of people wouldn't, but to censor a game that is meant for adults because of her own personal loss is just dumb.

....This is why I stopped watching fox......out of control

It's a lyric posting day. Deal wit it.

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don't test me
Second guess me
Protest me
You will disappear

I want to know who's allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion!

I have some lyrics too, Neg. (Not directed at you, of course. ;))

Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way
Move bitch, get out the way
Get out the way bitch, get out the way

[Intro]

So we look at what's going on -- this as an EXTREME aggression, um
I'm also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!
It's-it's on the islands, it's on the continent, it's here: it's everywhere!
And this is, if you will, a WAR -- An all out assault by...

The sly fox

Slick shit
Sensin'
Misinformation
Pimp the station
Over stimulation
Reception

Comcast digital Satan
The Fox has a bushy tail
And Bush tells
Lies and Foxtrots
So I don't know what's real

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping
Start thinking
Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'
Fox keeps feeding us toxins
Stop sleeping

Outside of the box and
Unplug from The Matrix doctrine
But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up
O' Reilly
Oh really?
No rally needed
I'll tie you up

Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts
Ya'll exploit rap culture, then ya'll flip on us
And you own the post, and ya'll shit on us
What is they net worth?
They gon' try to censor my next verse?
Throw 'em off the roof neck first
While I'm clicking my cursor
Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal
It gets worse while I'm clicking my mouse
While they kickin' my house
They figured us out
Why a nigga go south
It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!

Tryin' to track us down with GPS
Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

[Verse 3:NaS]

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill
But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?
What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)
The backdoor deals
On oil fields
How's NaS the most violent person?
Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you
Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)
I use Viacom
As my firearm
And let the lyrics split you
Who do you rely upon?
They shoot shells at Leviathan
I'm dealing with the higher form
Fuck if you care how I write a poem?
Only Fox that I love was the red one
Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!
Red rum
Political bedlam
Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum
Murdoch on Fox
Not 18 with Barracas
And he hate Barack cause
He march with the marchers

[Outro]

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.
Not the biased truth
Not the liar's truth
But the highest truth
I will not be deceived
nor will I believe
In the Propaganda
I will not fall for the Okey-Doke
I am tuned-in

[NaS]

Watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Better watch, cause they're watching
Watch what you're watching

Me-Me-Media
Misleading ya

Watch what you're watching

I love freedom of speech.

What have I started?

It's a lyric posting day. Deal wit it.

Son of a...

Did nobody who watched that actually recognize that the guy asked questions which could only make the anti-gaming loon look bad? It should be pretty hard to say Fox is anti-gaming when the host points out that it's mostly adults buying these games (pretty much neutering her argument) and never once says a single thing in support of the wacko's position.

You have to admit... it was still funny watching the lady make an idiot out of herself though... :)

I would feel sympathy for anyone who experienced a loss like that woman did. But at the same time, no one's forcing her to purchase/play those games or even look at/read about them if she doesn't want to. I think the point that guy made was totally fair enough. Why can't it up be to others to make their gaming entertainment choices? I'm not denying she's entitled to her opinion and feelings - but why force it onto everyone else?

Of course it was funny. I'm just commenting on bashing Fox when they didn't do anything out of line.

Eh, I'm willing to admit I jumped the gun and thought Fox News was being a retard before I saw the video. Kudos to that interviewer guy. However, most news stories on Fox News aren't that neutral... Anyway... I don't want to turn this thread into a political piss hole ('cause politics suck in general anyway), so... I'll just leave it that.

Wow, this is just amazing. Did they say anything about the Interactive Sex Scene on Fahrenheit Indigo Prohpecy?

Shhhhhhh, we only talk about popular games because we're getting paid ;)

Shhhhhhh, we only talk about popular games because we're getting paid ;)

Ahh... the power of the almighty dollar!!

Shhhhhhh, we only talk about popular games because we're getting paid ;)

I'm getting paid, and I still don't have enough for the popular games. Popular new games I should say.

Oh you, Faux News. When something smells, it's gotta be Faux News.

Well, I don't see the point. What's wrong with playing as a taliban? I mean, I usually play as a terrorist in Counter-Strike, and I don't go apeshit blowing buildings. And sane people neither do. People gets offended pretty easily, I guess.

PS: What was the laughably MW2 controversy?

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GHOST RECON LETS YOU PLAY AS AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CALL THE PRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . Oh, the horror. . . . SO DOES MEDAL OF HONOR!!!!!!!!! AND YOU'RE FIGHTING AGAINST GERMANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They'd berate a game if it DIDN'T let you play as varying ethnic groups, just as much as they do when you CAN. They just like any reason to raise hell about a game where you're killing things.

PS: What was the laughably MW2 controversy?

You know the whole thing with one of the early missions in the game where you have to shoot civilians in an airport.

we need more no russian levels.
im tired of shooting at things that can shoot back.

My favorite Fox News moment:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkAn_qJdgBs

"Pro Wrestling, nobody dies"

Yeah, ok, what about Owen Hart? What about the large number of wrestlers that die at young ages because of drug abuse they did during their wrestling careers, these people can die at ages of 39-50 after retiring (someone who was in the WWE last year died recently ffs), she doesn't have a CLUE about what she's talking about.

She's completely useless, if her son could say something to her, he'd probably tell her to stop being such a whiny bitch over somethig so stupid.

You don't have to buy the game, end of.

Oh and she's a complete hyprocrite too! wonderful!

What? She isn't suggesting that being a wrestler makes you immortal. She isn't saying it's impossible for a wrestler to die the same way regular people die.

The one person you mentioned died because of a failure in a harness, not from wrestling. Yes, during wrestling, not from wrestling. It was an accident, not murder or manslaughter. The other people who died from drug abuse died because they... abused drugs. They didn't die from wrestling. What you've said here honestly makes no sense to me and the shit I've typed sounds so retarded because I'm just stating the obvious.

The woman is retarded, but I can see why she would be upset. I can see why victims of the 9/11 attack would be upset about the mosque, but you can't let personal stuff like that determine whether something should go ahead or not since their judgement is clouded. The best option for them is to ignore it, since the majority of people don't have a personal investment in it.

You can't equate accidents and death from drug abuse to murders during war, though. Two different things entirely.

STATING SOME MORE OBVIOUS Nobody is going to get upset if Owen Hart's image is used in a wrestling game (so long as they've gained the rights to use that image). Nobody is going to go wow, that is totally insulting to him and his family.

God

I hate you

People still take Fox News seriously? I usually watch it when I'm really bored and feel like poking fun at someone or something so I'm never disappointed with Fox :)

I love how nobody pays any attention and just goes LOL FOX NEWS when the interviewer said exactly what you guys are saying. I bet most of you didn't even watch the video.

Anyway what chewey said makes sense. I think there is often an excessive knee-jerk reaction to these issues on the part of people who play video games. I see this every time a thread is made about some issue someone has with a game's content. It's just a big parade of post after post of people all patting each other on the back for knowing how stupid all these media people and soccer moms must surely be. Have any of you ever taken a couple minutes to try to consider the opposing point of view for a second? I realize that you play video games so you see them as being on the other side of some kind of imaginary dividing line in a BATTLE FOR FREEDOM TO PLAY GAMES but it's not really like that. They are real people who have reasons for feeling the way they do.

I don't think there is any part of this interview where the lady says "we should censor this game" or "this game should be illegal." Maybe I missed it but I do recall there was one point where she admitted that yes the adults buying and playing these games can choose their own entertainment. It seems to me like the only point she was trying to make was that she felt the game was insensitive and disturbing. She didn't make any wild claims that it would ruin the youth of the nation or cause school shootings or that the game was being targeted at children.

Maybe people really should spend more time thinking about why it is that they actually enjoy games that are meant to simulate real wars, and evaluating whether or not that is a good thing.

TK makes a good point there. Although for me, I enjoy them for the simple reasons that . . . a.) they are a stress-reliever. b.) they are entirely fictional, whether simulating something realistic or not. And c.) better to shoot things up in a game than in real life. But I do sympathize with those who view them as a completely negative thing; anyone can imagine a reason why someone might look at a violent video game and cringe. There's infinite reasons. And after watching the video again, I'm simply met by an opposing point of view speaking its mind, much like we all do ourselves.

what irks me is that that soccer mom is just one of the many who are agaisnt whatever is popular or "cool".
it happened with the rise of violent games in the early 1990's, it happened with pokemon, now after the fabrication of 9/11 anything with terrorism is "an insensitive portrayal of the war in the east".
i didnt see anyone complaining about the hundreds of games of the gulf war. yes, they werent terrorirts back then, they were proper military personnel, but so are this alqaeda to a lesser extent.

I didn't watch very far into the video, I just read an article from a video game journalist who mostly complained about Fox News being silly again. If she didn't actually say anything other than it being insensitive then I don't really see the problem here.

What? She isn't suggesting that being a wrestler makes you immortal. She isn't saying it's impossible for a wrestler to die the same way regular people die.

um no, she said in pro wrestling, people don't die, which is kinda untrue.


The one person you mentioned died because of a failure in a harness, not from wrestling. Yes, during wrestling, not from wrestling. It was an accident, not murder or manslaughter. The other people who died from drug abuse died because they... abused drugs. They didn't die from wrestling. What you've said here honestly makes no sense to me and the shit I've typed sounds so retarded because I'm just stating the obvious.

Yes, Owen Hart's death was an accident but he died in pro wrestling, if he wasn't in wrestling at the time, the accident would never have happened and he wouldn't have died, the woman said no one dies in pro wrestling, Owen Hart died in pro wrestling, I sorta kinda see a contradiction there. 90% of the wrestlers who have died from drug abuse is because of steroids because they used them early in their career to enhance their own ability and training and end up getting addicted, it's part of the really shitty lifestyle wrestlers have, wrestling isn't just wht you see in the ring, it's more than that, these people are dying earlier than they should be because of what they did in order to make themselves better for the job:

(not every single one died because of drugs, I'm sure some were in car accidents and there's some suicides but ALOT of these are drug related, alot of heart attacks, which of course, is a side effect of steroid abuse)

People die because of the lifestyle this business requires, it's not as bad as it was in the 80s or 90s because Benoit's suicide and murder of their family due to roid rage made them open their eyes.

Oh and guess what, as I was typing this, another wrestlers dies, man, this is ridiculous, Luna, only 48 years old.......

My point is (which you skimmed over in your quest to be so condescending to me for the lulz) is that this woman obviously does not know what she's talking about, she doesn't understand the wrestling business and instead of being truthful and saying "I can't comment on that because I don't know shit" she just says "well, no one dies" and EVEN if you don't consider the drug related deaths, people HAVE died from injuries they received during wrestling matches you know, maybe not in mainstream companies like TNA and WWE but it has happened, so yeah, she's still wrong even if you insist what I say doesn't count.


You can't equate accidents and death from drug abuse to murders during war, though. Two different things entirely.

um....ok....I....uh....didn't, did you uh, even try to read my post? no? yeah, it shows dude.

I wasn't trying to say that wrestling deaths are more important then murders in a war or that the two were even comparable, the only thing I was doing was picking apart a particulary stupid thing she said because, as I've said, it's completely untrue and just made her look like more of an idiot then she already was.


STATING SOME MORE OBVIOUS Nobody is going to get upset if Owen Hart's image is used in a wrestling game (so long as they've gained the rights to use that image). Nobody is going to go wow, that is totally insulting to him and his family.

God

I hate you

Oh really? so that's why Owen's widow recently tried to file a lawsuit against WWE for apparantly using his image or name somewhere when apparantly agreeing to never use it after his death, gosh, I guess that little fact stopped me from seeing HOW GODDAMN OBVIOUS IT WAS!

Or that time when Scot Hall punched a comedian for making a joke about Owen's death.

Yep, SO OBVIOUS LULZ.

(I don't agree with the lawsuit though, she shouldn't be shitting on his career by doing this, even Bret Hart thinks she's over reacting but yeah, you're wrong I'm afraid)

Damn, I didn't mean to hijack this with wrestling talk but this'll probably be the end of it, not exactly holding my breath waiting for Chewey to post some randomly amusing picture or stupidly sarcastic or pick at any spelling mistakes I might have made.

your batman.

Oh and TK, dunno if you're including me in that general sum up you made but I barely know FOX news and whatever reputation it has, I watched the video, twice and I still think she's overeacting, I considered her point of view and even came to the conclusion that her own son would probably tell her to shut up. It's sad her son died, as it's sad when anyone dies but instead of moaning about a video game, maybe she could try getting on with her life, again, she doesn't have to buy the game, she doesn't have to experience it, she can try moving on, it might help her, alot.

I would like you to post in GREAT detail the EXACT reason for the deaths of the people you have posted. With references too please because assumptions won't do.
