Here's something that will shock and touch you at the same time:
ME AND MY DAD FIND THE FAMILY GUY GAME MORE OFFENSIVE THAN GTA
(Keeping in mind, I'm 18, and am enjoy the Grand Theft Auto games)
Seriously. My brother is a huge fan of the show (I used to be, until it turned into "80's Reference Guy"), and loves the game despite all the review that said it sucked.
I was down from college this Thanksgiving weekend, and I watched him play it a bit. Seemed kind of average, more like something for fans rather than gamers. After he beat it, I got a chance to play it for myself. It SUCKED. My dad came in and started watching me during one of Peter's "Bad Street Brawler" (I refuse to associate Viewtiful Joe and Final Fight with this game) stages. For the uninitiated, the story behind it is that Peter Griffin is deluded into believing that Mr. Belvedere is out to get him, so he goes around beating the crap out of everyone.
However, as my Dad was weatching it, he became disgusted at the fact that you punt little children in order to advance, black guys are harder to beat, and the most damning thing of all: YOU PUNCH OLD PEOPLE AS THEY WALK OUT OF CHURCH.
We both forbade him to buy it. THIS IS PARENTING, PEOPLE: my dad forbids it because he's a parent, and I forbid it because I've played good videogames, and we both recognize that it's a piece of shit meant to sell based on name recognition (which my brother is a sucker for- "ZOMG! DBZ BUDOKI! I WATCHED DBZ! ZOMG DIZNEE N FINAL FANTASY CHAR IN KINDUMB HERTS!!! I TOTALLY PLAYED THE FIRST DISK OF FF7!! I DON'T CARE IF IT SUCKS!!!" goddamn idiot)
Posted 07/09/08 at 05:30am gamepolitics: tetsuya, he doesn't have my fax # (or any of my #'s) since I moved last year.
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:40am Jack Wessels: @PHOENIXZERO: Do you really think that would stop him?
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:29am PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.
Posted 07/08/08 at 11:10pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : Dennis you should post that story about JT insulting Judge Tunis. There might be more you could find that Kotaku missed.
Posted 07/08/08 at 08:32pm lordlundar: Jack should realize that when you call everyone crazy, then the only crazy one is the you.
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:06pm DarkTetsuya: @GP I just fear for the safety of your fax machine cause you didn't post it :P
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm PHOENIXZERO: Because I was bored and channel surfing. =(
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:59pm GRIZZAM PRIME: PHEONIXZERO, Why the hell are you watching CNN's sodomy butt baby(HLN)?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:53pm Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:34pm PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:28pm PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:24pm PHOENIXZERO: CNN has wanted to be Fox Jr since Fox started spanking them in the ratings and Turner was removed from power.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:11pm PHOENIXZERO: UGH, they have the CT AG on there... He sounds like Jack.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm PHOENIXZERO: >_> You can call in 1-800-TELL-HLN.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm PHOENIXZERO: CNN HLN is doing a segment on Beer Pong with their other "morality" blowhard Mike Galanos.
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:47pm Jabrwock: This just in! Jack insults someone. News@11
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:44pm mogbert: I think we can skip that story, we can't cover JT every time he insults someone, we would run out of server space...
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:43pm gamepolitics: nah, intentionally didn't post that... it's just a publicity grab... I only have so much JT tolerance, save 4 more relevant news
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:57pm Xlorep DarkHelm: Dennis doesn't post every little tidbit of information about Whacky-Jacky.

So, yeah, kids need parents.
