Reminds me when Army Of Two was added to BC without the servers. Who the gently caress is going to play that solo?

DrNutt posted:The only source of that is from reddit and your memory of Montreal in the 90s. No offense intended but that is straight up the Daikatana ad font so I think my skepticism is warranted. please present your findings, I'd love to see a doc on such things.

There's a gameboy pocket one with a woman in lingerie handcuffed to a bed, and the description is something like "now the most fun thing you can have in your pants".

What the gently caress. Wasn't Nintendo still thought of as the family friendly company at that point? That second one is straight up implying sexual violence. It doesn't look consensual in the slightest.

How is violence implied in the second? It's a dude ignoring his GF for a Game Boy. Partners being tied up on a bed and left there was such a common joke back then.

Yeah, its in bad taste and unnecessarily sexual, but I think nonconsenual is too far. Just like the first one the implication is that you're ignoring them, not distracted halfway through an assault.

The best Gameboy was probably the SP but goddamn that one that was barely bigger than the cartridge was cool as gently caress Edit: The GB Micro

I think the first one implies that they've already had sex, since she's asleep and the gameboy is the second best thing. The second one is straight up sadgamer playing tetris instead of girl.

It doesn't look consensual in the slightest. Someone's boring in bed.

It doesn't look consensual in the slightest. I don't know how you get "not consensual" out of the second picture. She looks annoyed because her partner has decided not to have sex with her because they remembered they have a gameboy and walked away. I don't even know what point you're trying to make. You know that normal people can enjoy being tied up while having sex, right? What do you think is happening in that picture? The woman was tied to the bed and is now going to be raped with a gameboy? It's an ad for a gameboy, and the tagline is "seriously distracting". The person was distracted from raping her by a gameboy?

I said come in! posted:Saw that Technomancer is one of the free xbox live gold games. I am looking forward to playing that. As someone who likes the Technomancer franchise, you should lower your expectations. Like a lot. To around the level where you're proud that the game doesn't crash on game start. They are budget titles and it super feels like it.

Thanks for assuming I'm some kind of prudish church marm. The room looks sparse and lovely, like it could be some kidnapper's rape room (yes I know it's probably just to reflect the average slovenly gamer) and her look could easily interpreted differently. Goons being mystified that different people can read media differently will never cease to be a thing, though. Whether or not you felt the need to dogpile on me for this, I'm sure most of us can agree it is pretty  that Nintendo okayed the ad in the first place.

With your interpretation, what do you think that ad is saying? A woman tied to a bed in a rape dungeon. Tagline: "The new Gameboy Pocket. Seriously distracting"

It depends on how much you are enjoying the game, if you are lukewarm on the game, blitz through it because its quirks do not improve it.
