I don't know what's worse, that Alex made that awful George Michael pun, or that I thought of the same thing when I was watching the Mirrors Edge 2 trailer.
I'm quite hyped for next-gen technology, but I'm quite cynical, angry, and vehemently opposed to highly restrictive DRM and the erosion of property rights.
I KNOW! She's fantastic on Archer, and I'm sure she's a great actress, but last year was a train wreck and now she's here again? Do they want people to cringe their way through their press conference? Is that their goal here?
@spaceinsomniac: Half of the article is a .gif of the quote, the rest is this
"That, and as game developer Jonathan Blow recently said on Twitter, "'Let's bring a woman on stage and joke about how she's bad at games, and say stuff like 'relax, just let it happen, it'll be over soon'??"
Kind of unreal."
What a joke of an article.
Really? Because I thought it was more "Let's bring a person on stage and joke about how completely screwed they would be playing a game they've never seen before against the game's producer." And the the pathetic "you go, girl!" moment of her coming back and beating the game's producer in a game she's never even seen before gets completely ignored by the shit disturbing fucks who want to whine about this.
Lol at everyone getting up in arms about the "rape joke" if you can even call it that.
What rape joke? WHAT THE FUCK WAS SAID? Can someone give me a quote, here?
The guy said to the girl when he was beating her "Don't worry it'll be over soon". I know right, not even close to a rape joke, I say that all the time when I'm beating my friend or brother at a fighting game.
Is that really it? What the fuck!? How does anyone get a rape reference out of that?
Exactly, people just like to jump on shit, It's already all over Kotaku. Oh and they leave out the part where she wins anyway and the crowd cheered, because they want her to be a victim in all this of course.
I thought you were joking about that. You were not. Fuck everything.
You should remove that link and post the entire article. I fucking refuse to give Kotaku a single page hit, and if you think this is as insane as I do, you shouldn't be helping them in any way either.
[edit] And in case you do edit your post, I've already edited the link in your quote.

During the Killer Instinct demo the guy playing said - "'relax, just let it happen, it'll be over soon'," which, in the context of saying it to a woman, people have been taking as a rape joke.
Because Jago was about to pull out his dick and force himself on Saburwolf? Or maybe the game's producer was going to put down his controller and... I don't even want to finish that.
What the fuck is wrong with people!?
It's a person fighting another person in a video game. Maybe, just maybe, "it'll be over soon" refers to being defeated in a fighting game. Crazy thought, I know.

I don't read Kotaku, but what is the tone of the article(s) covering the subject? Are they just talking about it in the comments? Is there a shit-disturbing "Did MS make a rape joke?" article? Is there a completely insane "MS absolutely DID make a rape joke" article?
This kind of ridiculous shit is exactly why I refuse to read Kotaku anymore. Destructoid is a fucking joke as well. Joystiq is pretty much the only gaming blog that I read, at this point.
