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...

E. Zachary Knight: If the videos are of sufficient quality that people subscribe and watch regularly, then those let's players are providing a service that people want. That is the heart of capitalism. That is not something that should be shamed.05/17/2013 - 8:06am

E. Zachary Knight: I have no idea who either of those people are. However, I still don't see why making a business out of creating let's play videos is somehow evil or wrong.05/17/2013 - 8:04am

Avalongod: @Zach and quicnkold...I've read the bill and the intent of it is to fear-monger. It's not a balanced message. I don't recall the ESRB being mentioned at all. It's more "keeps your kids away from these movies/games or they'll become violent"05/15/2013 - 4:35pm

quiknkold: REBeardogg : I'm on the fence about this. on one side, I want parents to be aware of the ESRB, and even Movie Ratings. On the other hand, I feel this will be used for nothing but Propaganda. The ESRB does a good job.05/15/2013 - 3:07pm

Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
Funny, since both Little BIG Planet and GTA are created by British developers :)
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
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?
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
I think it looks cute. Then again, the Sackboy charecters have always been pretty cute.
Happy 4th everyone.

Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
Now to just wait a day until someone says this is makign furn of America or something.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
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)

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.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
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.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
And Deus Ex must be a bigger middle finger for showing a demolished statue of liberty and depicting a government agency as evil.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
And the Fallout series is an even bigger finger since it's the US in ruins.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
I like it!
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
Wow, I can't believe you didn't think of Deus Ex, which has the ruins of the statue after a mini-nuke.

Ghostbusters 2 on the NES had a couple stages where you controlled the Satute of Liberty like they do in the film.

Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
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.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
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.
Re: Little Big Planet's Sacktue of Liberty
Don't need to fact check, we already know the Supreme Court turned down his appeal.
