More Absurdity

I know, I know, more articles from kotaku (it's actually from the consumerist)... but this is insane.

Assassin's Creed Fiasco

I really would love to go through this piece by piece but tendinitis in both elbows is a bitch and typing is no longer my friend. A short and simple question though: Since when is it ILLEGAL to sell a game to a minor? Last time I checked all proposed legislation covering that has been shot down.

This other one is actually from kotaku. It features more ridiculous descriptions of mass effect by the mainstream media. This is just fucking ridiculous, barely any research is necessary to disprove their claim. I haven't played the game but have seen the footage in question and I can assure you it's nothing like described. The scary thing is people will accept these lies without question.

Mass Effect is PRON?

Their analysis is much better than mine (at kotaku I mean)

Serves that guy right for owning an XBOX 360 I always say! Anyone else feel like in terms of public awareness video games are the Scientology of Entertainment, or maybe the Rock & Roll or Jazz of the '20s or 1910s...?

Transmetropolitan feels like an over-the-top hate-everything book until you remember that the news actually is like some of that shit. Makes me sad when peeps heads explode in that comic though...so unexpected. SPEEED FREAK!
