Following last week's news that Silent Hill: Homecoming has become the latest video game to run afoul of Australian censors, GUComics couldn't resist poking fun at Down Under politics...

MechaTama31: I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm
|
MechaTama31: But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm

Andrew Eisen: Interesting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm

Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm
|
MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
|
MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

Andrew Eisen: I have it. The problem, so far as I can tell, is neither of them allow me to overlay my webcam feed or text links to my Extra-Life fundraising page.10/19/2014 - 4:08pm

quiknkold: and yes, its free10/19/2014 - 4:05pm

|
Andrew Eisen: The former.10/19/2014 - 4:00pm
|
quiknkold: was it StreamEez, or the StreamEez feature in Hauppauge Capture? cause I know Capture has alot more support from the devs.10/19/2014 - 3:54pm
|
Andrew Eisen: I actually tried StreamEez last week. Flat out didn't work.10/19/2014 - 3:53pm
|
quiknkold: I use the Hauppauge Capture software's StreamEez. Arcsoft showbiz for recording. I just streamed a few hours of Persona 4 Golden with zero problem using the program. Xsplit is finniky when it comes to Hauppauge10/19/2014 - 3:40pm

Andrew Eisen: Trying to capture console games and broadcast with Open Broadcaster System because I've had technical difficulties using XSplit 3 weeks in a row.10/19/2014 - 3:37pm

Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
I find it interesting how there is no rabid defense of Australia's actions towards the gaming industry in comparison to the UK stories.
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
Each day that passes, is a day closer to when Michael Atkitson is booted from office when he losses his seat in the next South Australian State Election,
or if South Australia choses Liberal instead of Labour that will also be another possibility.
Labour in Victoria and Queensland are ok since those States support Videogames and how they give funding to their Developers from their states.
Also I just got DeBlob from EB Games and it was made by Blue Tongue Studios, awsome game made by the Aussie Developer.
So yeah, Aussie Gamers and Developers push hard for that R18+ rating because we really need it

Not to nitpick, but isn't the jack jumper ant an ant? You know, hence the name, jack jumper ANT?

Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
They are growingly doing so very rapidly actually. I expect 2 years until this will be changed where their people can choose for themselves instead of being treated like babies.
While I am making bets, can I put my money on Oct. 14, 2011 for when McCain will keel over? If we go broad with months then I will take the whole month of October though if he becomes president or not. Not to be mean, just given medical stats and such. It has to be a death not caused by an individual or group of people though. This is the main reason I am not voting for him, I have a strong feeling he will keel over in 3 years, and there is no way in hell that Palin is qualified to be president.

October 30th is the day of his disbarment. :)
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans

Jesus Jack Jones Thompson.... is dead... (funeral udruge, followed by Celebrate :D )
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
LOL great comic.
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
I'm sure stuff like this gets pointed all the time, but maybe they'd be more comfortable if somebody made a video game that involved raping and genociding the indigenous population.
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
Maybe there simply isn't enough croc wrestling in video games for them?
Re: Cartoon Lampoons Aussie Game Bans
So they're rugged and all, but show them a violent video game and they go from the New England Patriots to the London Silly Nannies? From "I'll wrestle this here croc with both my arms tied behind my back" to "oh dear, those men are quite large in stature"?
