To me, this is kind of like when people used to take quotes from Voldemort and use them to claim that the Harry Potter books promote immorality. The lines he's getting offended at are spoken by the villain(s) as a taunt to the player- you're clearly not supposed to agree with what they're saying.

Oh no, a character in a game tried to antagonise another player in the game by saying something antagonistic. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Adopted people should never be referenced ever in any context, that would be the worst thing ever.
I don't get how that line is the worst thing he could ever hear. I'd think 'you're daughter's dead' would trump that by a huuuge margin, sooo it's either sensationalism or stupidity.
Also, portal's only educational if you have a portal device. It's a puzzle game, but you're not exactly learning anything real-worldy.

Wait.... When did they go and get them some electricity in the Carolinas?
But seriously if all of you are this pissed then e-mail/write wbtv.com
Do something productive and ***** at the people who caused this stupidity.

If you're going to lecture me about English, you could at least use it properly. Also, try not to screw the quotes up, it makes it look messy.Gametek said:
England is a country. The country is part of the United Kingdom. The island that most of the UK is on is called Great Britain. People from England may call themselves British, or English.
Australians are Australian. They speak English, but they are not English, because they are not from England. People from North Carolina are not English. They may speak English (or some twisted form of it) but they are not English any more than Brazilian people are Portuguese, or the Quebecois are French.
LOL.
The saddest part of this "ground breaking" news story, is that the child is the only one taking an adult stance on it, and doing the most adult thing.

For the record i STILL have to explain that D&D doesn't make you go crazy and kill people at every family gathering because of US news. (Don't ask why they never remember the LAST time we had this conversation, maybe they just have nothing else to talk to me about.)Zhukov said:

This was "literally the worst thing I could have possibly heard". Literally. Seriously, the worst joke portal 'could' have made?

This is what I remember immediately afterwards in the game:
"G: What's wrong with being adopted?
W: Well actually nothing's wrong with being adopted I suppose..."
You're meant to thing the character's wrong, and he apologizes for it anyway, what precisely is the problem? That they brought it up?
I think it being mentioned in the comfort of their living room by a fictional character is better than it being talked about on Television where hundreds of people will see it and pass judgment on the father like we're all doing.

'Passing the buck onto somebody else'..? No, not really, Sony didn't develop the game, they had no input on the script.. News stories like this are just... -___-
1: Not passing the buck you went to the wrong damn company.
2: They even say in the game THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING ADOPTED.
3: Thats probably not the "ultimate question" your kid is ever going to have for you.
4: If she didn't end up hearing this in a video game chances are she'd hear it at school which might cause damage to a child because rather than a fictional entity saying it in a fictional setting based on fictional events you have someone you know, can see and interact with completely saying it to your face.
5: I believe he is upset because it's forcing him to talk about it with his kid. If he can't handle that then maybe there is a problem here.
Also, want to censor the game
Also, it's not educational it's a puzzle. It's educational in the same way that tetris is educational.

Ok,ok, I quite. I apologize and surrender dude! As I don't give all that much about flaming with a none on a forum about videogame, dude.Redingold said:
And my point is that they are speaking english as their mother language, so they should understand it, dud. Happy?
am I the only one who is impressed that the young only like 7-10 year old daughter got there on her own and i found those puzzles very challenging because i hadn't played anything like it before so um gj adopted girl gj

The worst thing is, is that had Portal been say a book or a movie we would never be having this discussion. But because it's a video game, we get this!
