Situations in gaming that are about to get really bad, really quickly.

[Chicago Ted]

Not the people who would complain about it, their mountainous blubber rolls more than make up from the bags of bones comprising the network.

Damn, if we're looking for something meatier, homeless are out... Hm... Well, what about the obese? There's plenty of them in American, and I'm sure you can feed quite a few people off them, thus making more people obese, thus making more soylent green!

It's like a pyramid scheme of canabalism!

It is settled then!

The Soylent green that shall be fed to the gamers to chemically castrate them as punishment for allowing Manhunt 3 to happen will comprise of obese people and those who would complain about the Fox News people being eaten!

Right....

I remember that making a lot more sense beforehand.

I also remember there being a topic beforehand...

I also remember there being a topic beforehand...

By the loosest of definitions of the word 'on topic', we are still technically 'on topic'.

Who should we use for soylent green?


Yeah... technically, soylent green has nothing to do with gaming. Personally though, I think the southern half of the United States has a few worthy volunteers.

People always give me strange looks when I say they should make a Hotel Rwanda game. I just want to use a machete is all!

The Sims 3: Family Touch

Adds teen pregnancy, woohoo between family members, a career as a Child Photographer and a doll that your toddler can use to show the police where Geoffrey Landgraab touched them.

Mass Effect 3 (Including the new mining mini-game, in which the player uses complex algebra equations to aid in the mining of over 10 billion different planets.

I haven't played ME2 yet, but judging from the reaction to the current mining system, I think I'd enjoy this more. But then again, I'd probably enjoy solving complex algebraic equations just for the hell of it, because I'm sad like that...

OT: The CoD Vietnam game sounds loaded with controvesy, although it might be in the form of "look, this is what actually happened in Vietnam, no patriotism here!" which seems to be controversial in parts of the US.

Also, as someone mentioned, DRM. Companies are going to go one of two directions now - Ubisoft-style and beyond, or just sticking with online activation like Steam. More companies are going to Steam, but I'm willing to bet more than a few will keep up the ridiculous statistic-juggling and load up on the DRM.

I tried to think of something, but i think i can summize all my options with "New Developer" or "controversy".

Heroin Hero. Oh yeah!

Uwe Boll gets the rights to direct a movie based on Half-Life. He immediately hires Pauly Shore to play Gordon Freeman.

There were a couple of in-depth threads on this quite a while ago: No Viet Nam game will ever work [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.122660-No-Viet-Nam-game-will-ever-work?page=1] and Poll: Call of Duty: Vietnam? [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.121624-Poll-Call-of-Duty-Vietnam?page=1]

I've met those people who can't stand it when someone mentions something like My Lai, Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi or this [http://collateralmurder.com/]. I'm sure every nationality and religion has their equivalent.

Castlevania: New Moon Edition!

What a horrible night to have a curse.

Ah yes yes the cookbook memories are coming back. Here i was thinking it came down to genetics somehow... Mebbe that was MY first instinct >.>

Actually, I believe that it's probably illegal to own a copy of that book, so I doubt I'd talk much about anything in it if I were you.

I think it's only illegal for Muslims (At least according to wikipedia)

Halo vs. Gears of War: The Romance of Master Chief and Marcus Fenix

World of Warcraft: Twilight (an expansion pack that adds the Twilight characters for some reason. Results in a massive influx of Twitards)
