No, I can understand that, but there's a difference between surrealism/fantasia and MAKING NO SENSE in the context of a living world!

one thing I never got, Why are people ok with humanoids/people/creatures being cut/chainesawed/crushed in half with lot's an lots of gore, but show some naked ladies and BOOOM almost all the general public and media go apeshit over it. Personally I would have though sex would be more prefable then the killing, it's plesurable and at the rime time can be a way to show how much two characters really love each other and yah know, conenct the player to the characters, can some one explain that to me? Arn't people more for love then war? sex instead of killing? aparantly not...

Well swordfish, we all know that only children play videogames, so for children to see boobies is much more damaging for society than to see the infliction of terrible violence upon humanoids.

Plus sex in games is a gateway to showing dudes kissing in games, which is even worse and will totally cause the collapse of society. I'd much rather have my kids murdering townsfolk and plowing down citizens in their cars than have them subjected to some vocal minority's lifestyle choices >: (!!!!!!

I know, It's terrible, It's so horrid that children are exposed to a couple in the throws of passion which came out of love for each other, I too would much rather them see some one's head hung up with there digestive tract hanging from below, far less damaging, people in love and showing it for one another through pleasure! what's next? Acceptance of others for things that are or arn't a choice? DISGUSTING!

The act of murder is less likely than the act of sex. Kids watch people killing other people in a video game they usually wont consider doing the same. Kids watch people fucking and it just adds to their desire to wanting to have sex.

Well clearly pretending sex is horrible/doesn't exist has done pretty well re: keeping kids from having sex too young OH WAIT

On the basis of what man? Like kids won't consider doing the same re: violence? There's a lot of effort in society and the media to blame JUST these occurrences on violent movies/videogames. I don't particularly buy that as it's pretty much a moral panic, but it's a bit weird to claim that it doesn't desensitise children to violence in the same way that seeing sex does with procreative activities.

Plus tons of the GCSE kids I see talk about "Killin' a Taleban" and shit, mostly influenced by like Call of Duty. Fuck, my youngest bro was considering being a soldier for a while on the basis of playing that game.

PS: Kids are always going to want to have sex (or, rather, to be seen as being in the know sexually), regardless of seeing it in videogames or not. They're bombarded by it via television, advertisements, and movies. It's also been the subject of schoolground boasts even when I was young and videogames consisted of moving left to right jumping over shit.

What you need to do is introduce kids to the concept of sex in a responsible manner rather than pretending it doesn't exist. I mean, sure, if you show them porn you're not exactly giving them good learning material, so don't do that, but you have to consider that there are significant barriers that prevent the trying out of sex. It's not something kids just go out and do.

It's sort of a paranoia to think that exposure to the knowledge of sexuality is a one-way ticket to depravity.

I sort of knew this topic would end up going in this direction. Its just why I decided to not make the post I was already typing up when Vellfire made that point initially.

But I will say this now. Just about every decision and action people have made since the dawn of mankind has always been founded on at least one of these two factors: sex and/or fear.

In that respect, it is only inevitable that "fear of sex" would be a commonly recurring mainstay of any civilized society. By virtue of being something that cannot be avoided, as a core aspect of the very fabric of creation, at least for as long as evolutionary based intelligent life still occurs somewhere within this universe.

You can easily talk about it as if the view itself is misguided, but it's not something that is going to go away just by talking about it.

I just tried playing King Arthur's Gold and it keep crashing on load. It really breaks my heart because I knew I just had to get this game the moment I found out that it was a game.

I recently had to recover my machine due to my a dual-boot configuration messing up on me, but now I am seriously considering re-installing linux all over again just for the chance I can get the linux version of this game to work for me.

I've been playing KAG, it's decently fun. I'm pretty atrocious at it but I find it stimulating.

I rented saints row 3 based on what I've read here and what I've seen about the character creation. I like it so far, but I think probably only because I'm playing as a woman with a pompadour. play this game as a swanky macho male character, as is probably intended, and suddenly it's super gross
