Game's over, and fuck you Jimson. It's not my fault that you guys couldn't get your shit together by deadline. No one gets access to docs because I don't fucking care anymore, I hope you all enjoyed ruining my game, and there won't be another.
I think it's about time we all address the elephant in the room. That being videogames in our news media. It has been to long since someone spoke out in earnest about the mistreatment our news media is receiving. No longer are they able to point to hooker murder, or rapid genocide of specific raced peoples as evidence of videogamings degeneration of American values. Now, as videogame developers are evolving with the times, reporters are forced to adapt in ways they should never have to.

Prompting this was the recent coverage done by Fox News over popular video game DarkSouls. One poor correspondent was forced to bring to light the fact that the game had the word dark in the title to tie it into race relations.

As such I propose Ten Key factors all Videogame developers must include in there games before they can be released to the general public.


1. A kickin' rad demon (leather jacket a plus) tempting a wayward teen away from his good christian upbringing. (As a note please refrain from portraying the teen as "urban" as this may give the wrong message to our viewers)

2. A hot titty girl doing drugs behind a dumpster with the words STREET above her head.

3. A man working on a sunday. (Preferably working at a location that is already frowned upon, such as a bar or soup kitchen)

4. A hot titty lady with a nice butt asking the main character if they want a good time.

5. A thinly veiled attempt at approaching gay rights in a respectful manner. (Hopefully done in an attempt to normalize the relationship)

6. A policeman who you can be mean to, or shoot.

7. A news anchor with a small penis who doesn't love his wife anymore. (Maybe named Breadd Jarrett we really need to use the word slander and libel more this season)

8. A character with a complex moral standing on even more complex hotbutton issues.

9. A character who is a lady, that just refuses to settle down and start a family.

10. A character who works at an abortion clinic.


I know it's a lot to ask from you guys, but hopefully together we can help create a more inclusive environment, instead of you shutting down our attempts to create a meaningful dialogue by demonizing your artform.

We should make videogames that don't have characters, just crosses and the sounds of church bells.
You better loving believe it's a white church tho

I was very surprised today when I turned on my television to fox news and the programming on this so called 'news channel' was deliberately misrepresenting facts so I can empthaize with you, OP; it should be outlawed imo.

realtalk, i don't get how movies released in the past 2 years or so will have all these references to cultural/political events that happened in recent memory and still presume that people nowadays are still excited to play the latest xbox 360 title. this has been a thing as far as i've cared to remember.
