Freedom of speech isn't truly free. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater, you can't commit defamation, you can be beaten for fighting words, and participating in a hideously subhuman crime (either as active participant or supportive witness) and then going home to joke about how much you fucked over your victim…

Whoa whoa whoa. Pregnancy isn't fun and easy anymore? When did this happen?!?

Tell me. If you found out a bunch of friends of yours gang-raped somebody, would you then invite them over for drinks and laugh about it? The situation you are describing and the situation in the article are totally different, and every time someone tries to explain the flaws in your reasoning, your immediate response…

The problem is that you're drawing a false equivalence. Say, hypothetically, you make racist jokes with some friends in the privacy of your own home. This is distasteful and objectionable, but it's not necessarily an indicator of true character or belief. Now, say you and a bunch of your friends found a black person,…

Only the first episode, if I'm not mistaken.

Except Dead Rising looked better than this, had far more zombies, and was on consoles. Scaling back graphics for the sake of processing is necessary, but not to the point that your game looks like it could run on a PS2.

It largely depends on nationality. I imagine most of my fellow Americans would consider it much more offensive, whereas all the sane people in the world wouldn't draw much difference.

I am entirely in favor of dongs. The swastika not so much.

Slow day in the commentariat, eh?

While I'm a fan of Slenderman in general, I don't particularly enjoy the game. I do see why it's so acclaimed, though. It's an extremely simple concept with a great deal of polish, available on almost any computer for free. If the sequel isn't more of an actual game, that's absolutely something to attack. But I think…

The uncanny valley effect of Slenderman, which the suit aids, is a large part of what makes him scary at all. Slenderman without a suit is like a vampire that sparkles during the day. If you don't see how he's scary now, odds are you won't in the future; nothing wrong with that, but you should probably find a…

Or a vampire that sparkles in daylight.

Yes. Yes it does.

I remember Fallout: New Vegas. It was fantastic.

I should clarify as well. Your mentor, as an ex-paratrooper, was well trained. He complied with the laws and stored his weaponry safely. So, I would most likely not think of him as a gun freak. The combination of obsessive, addiction-like devotion and irresponsible ownership is what makes a gun freak (though I prefer…

There is a difference between a gun owner and a gun freak. Nancy Lanza was most certainly the latter.

I assume you're talking about yourself here.

Why take the easy way out when you can shriek nigger at a computer screen instead?

The replies make this so much better.

Yes, illegally acquired gun killing sprees will always occur. But of the top 23 wealthiest countries in the world, 80% of gun deaths are American. 87% of children killed by guns are American. That's for a variety of reasons, but our widespread gun ownership, ease of legally obtaining guns with little regulation, and…
