Welcome back to the stage of history with ForumLife, the pedestal for GamePro's best forum topics! If there's an obscure discussion getting buried, a heated debate burning into the night, or if someone's got an unhealthy obsession with professional strong-woman Robin Coleman (rowr!), we'll be damn sure to shine a spotlight on that thread. In ForumLife, it's all about you!
"Damn You Hollywood! TERMINATOR 4 is PG-13!"
On May 5th, son_of_Jack led the enraged cry over the rumored rating of Terminator 4 -- not the fact that it exists, but that it's rated PG-13. Oh well. At least this means we won't see Arnold Schwartz... Schwartzennemhiemr's (close enough) increasingly flabby ass ten minutes into the movie. Right?
[Hey! Click here to read the original thread!]
"...If we can make a compelling film to reach the widest audience, why wouldn't we do it?"
And then there's this one:
A family-friendly rating opens many doors, including a "Terminator Salvation" licensing deal for action figures with Playmates Toys.
This just confirms what I've said all along-- Hollywood has sold the soul of good movies just to make a little more money.
It's true, the classics just aren't getting the rated-R treatment that they so rightly deserve. Why censor great film characters like John McClane? Just so some parent can take their 10-year-old to the movies instead of a kennel?
Joining the call to rage, other posts had more to add...
It's like pouring salt in the wound, then rubbing it raw with hot gravel and cleaning alcohol. Bad form, Capcom!
Just in case you didn't hear about it, cult-favorite Okami got a second lease on life with the Wii, and the people rejoiced. But a roll of the ending credits showed a dark side to this tale: the original staff from Clover Studios got cut out.
Okami fans (and gamers in general): what's wrong with this picture?
Yeesh, it's almost like Simba killing his own father.
Sure, buy GTA IV for your kids! With any luck, you can get a lawsuit into the news to show what a retarded parent you are.
(This one's for all you special moms and dads out there. You know who you are!)
One day, there's going to be a world where video games like Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear, and God of War are sold in dark, grimy, underground black markets -- right next to bootleg DVDs, illegal (non-American) soft drinks, and homebrewed Wii-Station-360s.
Why?
Because groups like the "Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood" equate video games with hardcore fist-in-anal-cavity pornography. Grand Theft Auto IV has gotten so much bad press, it's almost cliche. Hell, if it's getting such a bad rap, kids under 18 are going to want it even more! You fools! You've played right into Rockstar's hands!
It's your American duty as a negligent parent.
The parents have spoken. Sex is worse than murder.
Well, I've been awake less than two hours and my personal bullshit meter has already peaked.
John Davison, the former Senior Grand Knight of the 1UP Network, just wrapped up a frightening poll on What They Play, giving us a sobering insight into what parents fear most about video games.
It's a shocker!
Dads and Moms are more offended about hardcore man-on-woman (or girl-on-girl/guy-on-dude) sex showing up in a video game than seeing severed heads. I'm not sure who the heck these people are, but I'd rather have my kid learning about the magic of sex than the correct leverage needed to remove a human skull from its body.
At some point, that story about picking up a baby-making kit at K-Mart isn't going to fly anymore.
Today's lesson: make your kids fighters, not lovers.
Dirty Thoughts About Midna
Oh God. Oh God, it's too early for this.
Gaming news isn't all fun and games (no pun meant), and it doesn't make waking up at 7 in the fricking morning any easier. And the only thing that made it worse (this weekend, anyway) was Capcom and cosplay freaks.
First off - we all like Midna, the lovable mascot of Twilight Princess. Hell, any game without Navi works for everybody. But, the weirdos secretly masturbating to that cosplay costume that's all over the internet - you guys are creeping me out.
PS: Midna's a f--king furry. Zip it up.
