What's the extra * for?

Lol, yeah I noticed that also.

Videogame fans here in the U.K should continue to take a very aggressive stance with these fools. Otherwise we will be fucked over like the Germans, and nobody here wants to get fucked over liked the Germans.

The UK is turning ever so slightly more and more political-correctness mad. At times i wonder why i still live here, then i check my bank account and it all makes sense (zing to the credit crunch there!).....

"Within hours of these remarks being published a rain of hostile emails from gamers poured into our office telling us to 'shut the f*** up', suggesting that we had 'got our knickers in a twist', demanding, as though we were on trial for an heinous crime, to know what right we had to impose our 'narrow minded bigotry' on them and stopping them playing an 'adult' game of their choice.

Others, of a more sober character, asked reasonably why we should be so concerned about games when there was so much violence in films and on television!

We were also accused us of being 'cowards' for not responding properly to belligerent strictures and one 'emailer' observed glibly that 'violent acts are not a symptom of videogames and films, but rather the human condition'.

Another said: 'If you don't like violent content, don't view or use it."

True, and it's been happening for a long while now. Slowly but surely we are all losing basic freedoms and PC has gone fucking insane here.

OT:

On another issue, I am all for Scotland breaking free, I honestly am. Only then will this country realize how much of a dire state it's in. Without Scotlands resources England would be even more fucked up.

Yeah lets not drag this, what I will say is that I saw a recent Panorama that completely changed my perspective, I ultimately saw many of the positives for Scotlan and also saw how much this country bleeds from yours. In ways I had no idea about. Scotland may not be ready now, but in time you will be, and I genuinely think your country will be far better off. If it ever gets raised in a dedicated topic I will be sure to have my say :)

Back on topic :)

That is pretty stupid, I laughed at the emails sent to them :P I hope things get settled soon...and OT, Viva la Scotland!

You guys honestly think these abusive emails sent by idiots are a good thing? You do realize this is only going to fuel the mainstreams media's hate for video games, making them think we're all idiots who will send arrogant, shouty and extremely unnecessarily aggressive emails as soon as one bad word gets uttered about out hobby? Making your feelings known is one thing, it can be done in a sensible, dignified and logical way, there is absolutely no need to be a complete bastard about it.

I once punched a dude for saying Hawk The Slayer was rubbish.

Imagine what I would do to these asshats

Ten cool points to whoever gets that refrence

Fuck them (in the nicest way posible ^_^)

Every time this kind of censorship happens,I more and more just want a major 1st world country to have a rebellion and overthrow it's government and try to reinstate a better one, when was the last time that happened in Europe, 1700-1800s? Sometimes I just feel like first world countries need to have a rebellion to show the uptight corporations and governments that, if you piss us off enough we will fricking overthrow you, you may have guns and weapons, but we have numbers and spirit.

Anyways I'm ranting now, I agree with you Linky.

"Fuck them (in the nicest way posible ^_^)"

Oh god, I just looked at their website now, Its god awful, really if PC is that bad I think the UK needs to liberate itself from itself. Damn PC Snail said:

Now that's more like it!"

you have too many *s

is it probable that our UK political correctness is going to backfire on everyone?  i agree with you lot, censorship is shameful.....it allows people to wield power they dont deserve. 

Give it a few more years of this increasing bullshit and it'll undoubtably blow up and everyone will walk down the street cursing up a storm or telling fat people to diet and smokers they smell like trash!  o, yeah and newspapers will go out of business.  :)

We walk into the next retail store and buy the austrian version of the game. It's really not a big deal.
There is no official german version of Gears 2. But nobody cares.

You'd think having the strongest currency in the world for the last millenium would keep them a little looser about this.

Oh bugger.
