Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
July 3, 2009
Via fidgit we've been clued into Sackboy, done up in patriotic style as the Sacktue of Liberty...
...which reminds us that Hillary Clinton's face appeared on the Statue of Happiness in Grand Theft Auto IV.
So, are there other Statue of Liberty appearances in gaming? Gotta be...

DarkSaber: Although, unsurprisingly, he's just being called an idiot alot and criticised for being as illegible as always.

Valdearg: @DS: Im sure that's what they'd do if it wasn't legal to just tell Gays/TG's to "Screw off," just because they're who they are.

DarkSaber: Whoever told him/her/it that is dumb. They should have done like most companies and made-up some bullshit, yet legal, reason for it not getting the job.

Andrew Eisen: Shouldn't be. Spirit of anti-discrimination laws would seem to include sexual orientation (and eye color). Plus there's always equal protection and such. Never know until you try.

Andrew Eisen: Should have sued (unless that wasn't an option given her financial situation or something). Might have won.

Valdearg: Story about a Male to Female TG who was expressly told she wouldn't be given a job because she was TG. Its not the main point of the story, but explicit, perfectly legal discrimination like this exists.

Valdearg: Lol, I don't know. It may very well be legal to do so. Though that might able to fall under the "race" restriction, depending on how that point is argued.

Valdearg: I don't think they do have any legal recourse. I'll have to dig around, but I seriously believe that if the law doesn't specifically mention Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, they can still be discriminated against in those 29 states.

I built the one for Spider-Man 2. Does that count?
AE: Off topic. Deleted.
I think you are making things up Jackass.
Also, Callin for a fact check up in this area; he is now in federal court to get his law license back. He will do so. The only thing in his way are three law firms who represented George W. Bush.
Don't need to fact check, we already know the Supreme Court turned down his appeal.
--------------------------------------------------
I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.
It doesn't matter what he says. His last chance to get it back was SCOTUS and they chose not to take his case. He is never getting his law license back.
At least not in Florida.
Twisted Metal 2 has a Statue of Liberty easter egg. Shoot it and see what happens. :P
I remember that one, athat and the Eiffel Tower.

Debates are like merry go rounds. Two people take their positions then they go through the same points over and over and over again. Then when it's over they have the same positions they started in.
Ghostbusters 2 on the NES had a couple stages where you controlled the Satute of Liberty like they do in the film.

Wow, I can't believe you didn't think of Deus Ex, which has the ruins of the statue after a mini-nuke.
There was also a holographic representation in Invisible War
I like it!
Now to just wait a day until someone says this is makign furn of America or something.
If that's the case, then The Conduit must be one big middle finger to America, seeing as how it takes place in D.C., and has you visiting the White House, the Pentagon, the Jefferson Memorial and a couple of levels has the Washington Monument in the background.

Freedom of speech means the freedom to say ANYTHING, so long as it is the truth. This does not exclude anything that might hurt someone's feelings.
And Deus Ex must be a bigger middle finger for showing a demolished statue of liberty and depicting a government agency as evil.
And the Fallout series is an even bigger finger since it's the US in ruins.
I don't see how anyone can take this as an insult.
Hey there's a cute little game that let's you play as a sack-like stuffed animal thingy and for the 4th of July you get to make him look like the statue of liberty.
I don't know of anyone who's so fanatical that any depiction of the statue of liberty would be taken as an insult (sad to say that's not the case with religious figures)

I think it looks cute. Then again, the Sackboy charecters have always been pretty cute.
Happy 4th everyone.
Yukimura is still here. "When he's at his best, he's little less then a man, and when he's at his worst, he's little more then a beast." W.S
Am I the only one who thinks "chainsaw" when he sees sackboy, or whatever he's called? I mean this guy is pretty much dredged up from our most intense nightmares. Maybe it's just the higher quality textures, but I wouldn't stop until that thing were rendered into its most basic atomic components if I had the chance.
Saying that Jack Thompson is impotent is an insult to impotent men everywhere. They've got a whole assortment of drugs that can cure their condition; Jack, however...

What kind of candy-coated nightmares are you having? Are you also scared of butterflies?
Funny, since both Little BIG Planet and GTA are created by British developers :)
