Andrew Eisen: Beach + fireworks + root beer + strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, whipped topping, and pound cake = my Fourth of July!

GoodRobotUs: Which seems to be the only point Jack proved, that some people find some games offensive. i.e. Nothing.

GoodRobotUs: The discussion was supposed to be whether games were dangerous not 'Do you find some games offensive'...

JDKJ: I still think my buddy the midget who rides a unicycle backwards while juggling four bowling pins would have been a much bigger hit with that crowd. And he can make up statistics and misinterpret studies, too.

Alyric: Of course, Mark falls into the common trap about Columbine, which had nothing to do with bullying, etc. See: http://slate.msn.com/id/2099203/?GT1=3256 for a more thorough explanation.

Andrew Eisen: VG cause violent behavior. VG companies influence behavior to get sales. Yeah, that makes sense. (To be fair, the Twitter feed makes deciphering JT's point pretty tough.)

Andrew Eisen: Yes, it's been proposed but as far as I know it has not been passed. Big difference.

I'm there with you. But even if they did not, my sound card doesn't work so I wouldn't be able to listen to it. :(
...almost... :D
Good stuff, gentlemen. Kudos!
I couldn't stop laughing at this, bravo to the guys who made this wonderful vid. "My daughter played 5 minuets of this game and now she is teen pregnant!" I was expecting a "Falcon Punch!" reply to that.
LMAO
Thanks!
That was hilarious! And so sad at the same time, because it's exactly how newcasters and "experts" actually behave... Except for the whole "cut his mike" thing. Instead they just should and interrupt more.
"Cut his mic!"
"Can he do that?"
"No."
"Oh, thank G-"
"Cut his mike."
We rule at comedy.
@ Moriarty70
You *almost* rule at comedy. The Brits are the Gods of comedy - Canadians are the Demigods.
That was made of win.
No, Gus works in Texas. This was made in Canada. Besides it doesn't look anything like him.
And to the Brits and Canucks - I'll put anything Richard Pryor did against your best stuff, and only the Flying Circus would top it.
Well that was funny though
"What's your opinion on mass effect now?"
"I think the blue chick was hot, I'd hit that."
Oh and there are gods of comedy in Canda U.S. and U.K.
Canada has these guys
U.S. has Stephen Colbert, the Daily Show and George Carlin.
U.K. has Monty Python
Python, Fawlty Towers, Black Books, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses and most comedy of the 70s. Though Canada gave us Colin Mochrie (Whose Line) who I am infintely thankful for
"Some of the studies show that anyone expose to this game turns into violent sodomites"
IF it wasnt so true it would be perfect :D
5... 4... 3...
Just watch, someone's dumb enough to do it. =P
"My daughter played that game, and now she's six months pregnant!"
"But the game's been only out three months..."
I almost see glimpses of JT from the guy with the bow tie.
Nope, there are at least 3 "love options": Liara, Ashley and Kaiden. So depending on whether your male or female that’s 4 possible scenarios.
Huh, just noticed. Shouldn't that be LRR?
I myself have never visited England and haven't actively searched for British Humor(tm), so out of all those mentioned I've only heard of Fawlty Towers, although I've never actually seen it.
?_?
Let's see if you can even see that.
A SITE THAT LETS YOU SEE ?_?
Actually, there's six.
I loved all the little running news items at the bottom.
Okay...I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. I agree that it's not him now but he still sounds almost exactly like him. And I know what Gus looks like and this guy isn't incredibly far off. *sigh* Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I'm just saying I think it was an honest mistake. Whatever, no big deal.
"And I know what Gus looks like and this guy isn’t incredibly far off."
Gus isn't white
and how the experts daughter played five minutes and now shes six months pregnant
uh..the games only been out for three M(cut off)
In all cases, the sex scenes are perhaps 30 seconds long and not particularly racy. There is no frontal nudity or anything like that, just a few seconds of side-view skin. Its much tamer than some of the stuff you see on prime-time network TV. Yahtzee said it best: "it will hardly make your Mass Erect".
LoadingReadyRun FTW!
