  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

No, they can't possibly be serious.

"All Americans pledge allegiance, and a select few <i>show it.</i>"

What...no...wait...<i>WHAT???</i>

This is probably <i>the</i> most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my life. Why wasn't I aware of this before? When was this announced? Why has "video game" suddenly become synonymous with "propaganda?"

So, lemme get this straight: video games that encourage killing in imaginary settings aare anathema...video games that promote the killing of actual people are OK, just as long as its who the US wants you to kill.</div>
