Well, it looks like gamers are being attacked in GD again.

WHEEEEEE!!!!

Funny...I play violent video games and I'm not a mass murderer. Strange that.

1. Don't you know

If one gamer does something bad, it puts a black mark on the whole lot of gamers! The only time that doesn't work is if the gamer is a Republican - then it's a youthful indiscretion.

2. We must sanitize EVERYTHING

No more laughing, no more fun...

[Ladyhawk]

5. That's why this pisses me off so much. I grew up fundy.

I'm still learning to have fun...sniff.

3. i'm surprised you don't see the correlation

between media and violence.

after I saw Jaws I just had to go out and eat a swimmer. and after I played Super Mario Brothers I ate a whole bunch of flowers, jumped in a sewer, and started climbing on pipes.

i guess you just have a better upbringing than me.

[Ladyhawk]

4. LOL! :) Good one.

And of course before violent movies and video games there were no wars, no violence. We all held hands and danced in the meadows, picking flowers and singing kum-bay-yah.

6. I just attacked back....but in a nice way, reasoned way.

The whole "hot coffee" thing is stupid.

Bottom line....you have to hack the game to get to it.

8. Is this for the PC version?

When you say "hack" - does that mean you have to write some code to access this or are you saying it to just mean downloading and installing the mod?

Just read that there is something similar though not as explicit on the PS2 version also. It seems to be available through what sounds like a complex string of cheat codes... I could be wrong though.

9. For the PC version, you install a mod

Most non-gamers don't know what a mod is, so I called it a hack, so she could understand what I was saying. The mod puts the hot-coffee game back into the game, and it adds nude skins (they were clothed before).

For the PS2 apparantly you have to hack a save game file. I think the same's true for the X-Box, but I'm not sure.

You cannot access the hot coffee through cheat codes, gameplay, or easter eggs whatsoever.

7. You know

Judging my the types of video games I play or have played, I am gonna be playing baseball and football, then going after terrorists, fighting zombies, fighting the nazis and japanese in WWII, and being a gangster. What a life.

[HawkerHurricane]

10. Given my favorite games...

I'm going to be fighting crime...
Casting spells to defeat trolls...
Taking over Mideival Europe...
And conquering the world!

[DrGonzoLives]

13. For me

I will play college football, then become a crime lord in Miami, then become an X-Man, then I will be an illegal street racer, then compete on the Gran Turismo circuit, then NASCAR. Good times, good times.

[Ladyhawk]

17. Apparently I'm going to jump into an X-wing and vape a bunch of TIEs.

After that, I'm going to grab a Tommy gun and kill Nazis in Europe and North Africa. :shrug:

And due to the horrible influence exerted by MAME32, I'm going shoot centipedes, spiders and scorpions; jump over barrels to rescue women from gorillas; eat a lot of little dots then callously swallow defenseless blue ghosts. I'm so evil and hypocritical. Maybe you should just shoot me now.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

11. Screw 'em.......

What do they know?

[malmapus]

12. Yeah, I saw screw em too

Been a gamer all my life (from the old PnP to todays MMORPGs). People back then told me playing D&D would make me a devil worshipper, although guess they're half right, I stopped going to church so guess I'm hell bound by their reasoning.

All of what these people talk about goes basically to parenting skills. I don't play overly violent games when my daughter is awake and watching me. Worse she gets is me loading up EQ and she sees me make colorful lights around some monsters.

Parents need to take control of what their kids see and what influences they get. Its not the business of the government to get in and take control on deciding whats good or not, like they know to begin with.

[malmapus]

14. I saw???!!!

Jeez I musta been half asleep when I wrote that.

[Ladyhawk]

15. Geez, I thought it was over and ran into a post that said

I'm a hypocrite because I play video games...and the thread had nothing to do with video games.

[Ladyhawk]

16. THIS post pissed me off.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4233933&mesg_id=4234199

Apparently, I'm stupid and a "hypocrat"...whatever that is.

[nookiemonster]

18. Insanity!

Dumbasses can't get a grip regarding the differences of reality and fantasy.

If you play GTA in your living room, and later decide to mow down a few pedestrians on the way to work, I think you have bigger issues to deal with.

Me thinks.

:silly:
