It really is. I downloaded it after reading this article, and I have to say that it was no where near as immersive as I thought it would be. The novelty wore off after the first level.

What you said is the absolute counter-point. I know real veterans who can't watch Saving Private Ryan. A lot of people hail it as a great movie. Were their war crimes during the D-Day scene? Absolutely.

Allowing people to buy firearms of any caliber is completely irresponsible. There are military grade firearms capable of taking a commercial airliner out of the sky. You want to give that to anyone who passes a background check? Let's just assume that nobody who passes a background check will...

It sounds to me like your problem is with the fact that the characters aren't perfect. That isn't to say that they aren't good, which as you pointed out, no GTA character ever is. It's to say that they don't behave in a manner we would like them to. When you mentioned that "he uniformly treats...

See, that's the thing. I'm American, and I'm fascinated when I meet any person from a different country. There's just so much to learn. That was one of the few beefs I had with the article.

Dark humor can be very funny when generalized, but when he says it would be funny for a specific girl to be raped, that's taking it too far.

Agreed. One could make the argument that the ending for School Days works as a very cleverly crafted satire of it's genre. If KS tried to do the same thing, it would have just been for shock value ("ooh, look at how dark and edgy we are").

It's so funny to me that you would say that, because I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading it.

I got that. I just found it incredibly bizarre.

Please understand that most Americans are not this ignorant. We understand that Reagan's precedent needs to be broken, and me need to find better ways to spend our money.

What about the ending to Stanley's Cup? What the f*ck happened there?

I agree; that is definitely different. Playing a game from another perspective (i.e. me playing Dragon Age II as a female Champion) is one thing, but those who play as another gender on MMO's is different.

But she sounds like she was making a valid argument. Personally, I don't agree with standing armies, even though I understand the necessity. I have family members in the military also; I respect the hell out of them, but it's something I would not be able to do. I just don't agree with it. Does...

Actually, it kind of does.

I suppose I have to ask why you apologized for an outburst on the internet, when you clearly had to write out the words and then force yourself to hit post...
