  WHAT UP WITH THAT

Did we talk about this skit the first time it happened? At first I thought it was too soon to run it again, but that was before Jake "the Snake" Roberts came out.

  the best comment in the history of the internet

Angrydog1295 has some strong opinions on "gamers" and their lack of a social life. He engaged in a lengthy debate on this issue with hankey on the comment thread to my Modern Warfare 2 review. Angrydog1295 tried to silence hankey with the following bombshell, but somehow it didn't work.

Hankey,

I rarely ski sober. When I grew hydroponic glaucoma self-help, I got $5000 a pound. And that was in 1989!

So, you were saying?

Who ever said football players were fun or cool? Because they play a video games?

Ecstasy was made illegal in 1985 or 86. Around that time, I will never forget taking a roadtrip to UVA to visit a friend. We walked into the basement, looking for a beer. Everyone was having a blast, dancing, smiling, etc. Someone pointed in the corner to a couple of kegs, where there was usually a few dozen. Everyone was on Xtc. The band playing was some white guy from South Africa, with a violin player. Dave, Dave, oh, what was his name again. Meanwhile, You and all you loser gamers are sitting caged up in front of the TV, smoking the bong ( probably with my product ) And I am out and about seeing Dave Matthews play way before he got big.

YOU are the one who stereotypes.

  the emails are even better

They're even more illiterate than the comments.

My favorite:

Maybe u should mature or grow up yourself that peace u wrote on modern warfare made me never want to read one of ur articals again.you r offically a moron



This one's great, too:

That I also concur that your an idiot. I didn't want to go through the hassle of registering to a subpar new website just to tell you that like the other gentleman, so I figured I'd just shoot you an email to let you know. The scene made total sense, it was the trigger to cause russian to go to war with america. I mean you have to have some sort of mental handicap not to see that and it goes right along with the first modern warfare. "Games should tackle morally ambiguous situations in a thoughtful manner, challenging players to think long and hard about the actions and decisions they make." Are you serious? like dead serious? Honestly man, I'm going to have to take a page from McCain's playbook and tell you to get a life. I mean thats humorous. Think long and hard about the decisions you make is something my grandparent's would say to me and the last thing in my life I want to remind me of grandma lectures is my friggen video game. Especially one thats based on war, terrorism, and shooting people. The game even gives you the option to skip the damn level in the beginning. Basically old people like you and if your not old (like mid to late 40's at the very least) then your a loser of the truest form lmao..

God what a lame, "ohh i'm such a little girl that a video game where you shoot innocent people (have you ever play grand theft auto retard? Or are those innocent people OK to kill cuz the graphics are bad?) in an airport is so offending to me that I have to write douchey little articles about it that makes me look like a complete idiot and compels others to email me to let me know if this." like seriously your sad about innocent people getting killed? Write a fucking article on darfur and do something productive instead of looking like a complete douche with a high stuck up his ass.

hop off infinity wards dick..

nuff said.

idiot.

  choice comments from my Boston Herald review of Modern Warfare 2

These are all comments left on my review of Modern Warfare 2.

from jerkomcjerk:

I had to register to tell you that you're an idiot. If you think games need "morally ambiguous situations," then you're missing the point of gaming entirely. Games are a means to escape from reality, to kill time, to find a place of enjoyment. They don't need meaning...you end up creating it for yourself. It seems as if you're the type who'd enjoy a round of Windows solitaire. Or is that too violent for you? Again, you're an idiot.


from jeremytk:

I also had to register just to say you're a total moron. "games should mature with their audience" what load of garbage is that? Games should be fun! I did not buy this game or any other to learn ethics or morality... if you do not like one scene in a game that you were not forced to play anyway, don't pan the game, pan yourself a crybaby who should be playing sonic...


from PyroBrit:

I signed up to comment...

And I was writing out a long rant because people complaining about this stuff really get on my nerves, but I decided F@#% it...

You don’t have to play it, the game cautions you about it and asks you if you want to skip it...

That part is very crucial to the story, whether its played or you find out what happened in the briefing...

STOP COMPLAINING!!!

IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, THEN DONT BUY IT OR WATCH IT OR GO ANYWHERE NEAR IT!!!


from Edgeworth:

I see the game as a way to help instill patriotism in the young people who play. I give it an A. Go play Hello Kitty Island Adventure.


from Maui420L:

With everything wrong in the world and especially the US, this is the NEWS and
moral issue of the day you choose to debate...
Get a life... never have I seen a paper so out of touch with the generation of today...
Boston Herald is stuck in the 50\'s mentality and hasn\'t figured out that June and Ward Cleaver were a TV show and not reality...


from Heri:

Games making you kills others is total BS, dis Hop Scotch,Tag,Hide and go seek when there was no video game ever make Jack the Ripper kill no,as someone mention before they were born killers from the start same applies today,Wackos kill cuz that's what they like to do or want to do so get off your high and almighty horse and accept the fact that killers of others are born with a problem that we don't see till it is toooooo late.


from OldHat:

Looks like someone had a deadline to meet and decided to reheat some old news and feign outrage instead of actually doing some work.

We're talking October 31st when articles about this started flooding the net. The discussion took place, the optional nature of the scene was announced in response. Everyone moved on.

Except Garrett here... who apparently lives under a rock somewhere and missed the whole thing.

I'm not going to bother rebutting every oddball claim made in the article... because it's already been done, one hundred times over, on every other news site in existence.

But seriously, Garrett, you're wrong. Spend 15 minutes researching about the story you wrote and you'll find out why.


from Codmw2contravers:

I registered just so I could tell you that your article is a waste of internet.

If you didnt want to play the scene you didnt have too.

I think its a great scene that makes the game more dramatic.

Just like when you watch a movie and innocent people die, doesn't make the movie "immature" as you say.

Stupid...


from hankey:

whatever...who gives a **** what the 'boston herald' thinks. no one reads the peice of crap reads anyway....unless peices like these written out of desperation.

unless its some sort of petty weird attack, no one reads the crap.

Its just a video game. If you want to write a review, fine with me, who's gonna care. But your 'opinion' is as influential as toilet paper.

Have a good day


from hankey:

and who the hell lives in massachussets unless sad uptight comformsit little twits...who? no one would live there willingly.

you and the progressive agenda has failed to pan out as the dominant perspective of the world......while your at it, save the paper you use to print your newspaper. Paper is valuable nowadays....we don't want it being wasted.

wake up and smell the ashes....


from hankey:

above I wrote 'your opinion is as influential...'...by opinion I mean grand philosophical arguements relating to morality and its implications for society (but really political correctness passing as such).


from hankey:

in other words, if the peice was a complain on gameplay experience...thats fine, in fact, quite encouraged (we don't want lame games with unabashed strings of 'shocker' peices with no coherent plot, that is quite lame and sales will be more due to marketing and prequels rather than product), but any extrapolation to society based on abstract social issues implies, or any moral philsophical 'controvery' or contention, is kind of irrelevent at this point for the reasons stated prior. Thats all I was saying, as rude as I may have been.

Good day.
