Annnnyways.

About the whole joke thing, I love to do that. I believe it is alright when kept under control. It lightens up the situation, and gives members a bit more personality to their pixels on the screen. And I certainly don't consider it spam, that's just silly.

Majic summed up my feelings on this perfectly in another topic, I'll try to find it.

It would appear so Hobo... It would appear so... It really reminds me of someyhing actually...you know when you're a kid and you repeatedly annoy the girls by pulling their hair....

And Death!... Rules?... What rules? I live life dangerously and in the fast lane...

Oh come on CJ surely by now you have the answer to that question tattooed on your retina after all the hours spent reading my posts.

Point taken.

I agree! That's why we love you, Mac. Sometimes debate can get very very serious, and a joke here and there lightens things up.

I could see Statikk was trying to get back on topic earlier.

Every single major retailer's bottom line would be hurt dramatically if they sold those bullshit games.

I sure hope so. But if demand for these games gets higher and the games of the furture all feature nudity, Wal-Mart may not have a choice.

Wal-Mart not have a choice? Yeah, I'm sure a company with a market capitalization of over 200 billion dollars is really going to have to worry about its bottom line being crushed by loss of revenew from digital smut. Get real.

oddguy · #40 05-20-2004, 11:37 AM

It could happen. Although I hope it doesn't.

I don't mind in-thread jokes as long as they don't create another topic of their own. I hate threads with dual topics. It's so darn confusing.
-oddguy

How do you feel about in-thread rants that quickly degenerate into petty infighting, name-calling and hair-pulling?

does anyone have ANYTHING to say about this topic anymore or should this thread just be closed and replaced by a new 'Let's bitch about each other' thread?

Gah! That is so annoying. People are trying to have a conversation, then some person gets offended over something...and next the whole thread is a bloody flame-war!

I get your point. I'm with Nate. Let's stop whinning over stupid stuff and get on with the topic.

It's a very subtle "shot myself in the foot" joke.

ClaireBear · #44 05-20-2004, 09:27 PM

Either keep on topic or trip over to SPAM thread guys!

And the bitching thread... may not be a bad idea!

Wha-ha-ha-ha! *CB rubs hands in evil meniacal fashion*

Oh Alcaaaaaar!!......

What? You had a humourectomy this morning Pet? Chill!!

Who's fur? Only you and I have fur here... I'm a Bear/ fookin lemur (I want a bear avatar!) and you're a big red cat!

Cats have fur too! Even big red ones!

What a spamtacular time we're having today.

Oooooooookay.

Simple Question:

If you could, would you buy a Video Game with full frontal nudity?

No for me.

Answer the Q kids...I want to see what ya think.

Depends if it were female or male full frontal.

Video games are so expensive here that I wouldn't buy ANY game unless it were really, really good. 100 bucks Canadian for a game, trust me nudity is not the way to pull me in.

Hobo · #50 05-21-2004, 08:32 AM

Depends if PC Gamer gave the game a good mark.

And It was my sort of thing.

And it didn't have too much nudity.

And It had a decent soundtrack

And it was fun

And it wasn't based around the nudity

And I could skip the nudity

And it was cheap

Statikk HDM · #51 05-21-2004, 10:11 AM

What do you mean, if I could? I'm old enough but I'd feel really dirty. I'm kind of proud of myself because I've been without porn for around a year and it is difficult especially when it seems every guy on campus has it and you've got unblocked broadband net access at home. I would feel really creeped out, you know? If I were to buy a game like that it would have to meet my criteria for videogames which means it has a nice storyline and plot, good mechanics, doesn't have a lousy camera system, and looks good graphically. I was talking with my friends about what they consider unsuitable when it comes to entertainment and people freaked over violence. They'd say things like "Man, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction totally crossed the lines, why'd you suggest I rent them?" But if I'd have rented a "good" porno they'd have no qualms about it at all. I take the totally different angle to this. Sex crosses the lines for me while on the other hand I could watch, listen, or play something with violent content pretty much all day long and not be the least bit uncomfortable.

Codek · #52 05-21-2004, 10:34 AM

Full frontal nudity + Abes Oddysee = Scrab.

Fez · #53 05-21-2004, 11:02 AM

Heehee. Deaths making me laugh abit to much recently.
