Kevin McCullough makes a big ass of himself

Filed under: Games,Idiots — Mr. Zero @ 6:02 am

Right wing nutjob Kevin McCullough makes a big, fat, puffy-eyed ass of himself when he attempts to warn parents of the dangers of the video game “Mass Effect” Here’s an excerpt (you can practically hear McCullough masturbating as he writes):

It’s called “Mass Effect” and it allows its players – universally male no doubt – to engage in the most realistic sex acts ever conceived. One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to “engage” and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game “persons” hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of.

Now, I will admit, that sounds like a pretty damn good game to me and it’s available on XBox! Actually, it’s the game contains an implied, that is very soft-core, lesbian sex scene. Oh my!

McCullough’s description of the game is almost completely and entirely incorrect. To push his agenda McCullough made up details about the game! Then he uses his demented fantasy as a straw man amidst laughable attempts to explain himself, without retracting his column naturally. He’s too thick-headed and prideful to admit he made a mistake. Read the comments, the wrath of the gamers is something to behold!

Dan Sandler of the Orlando Sentinal puts it well:

What is the lesson to be learned here? Always learn the agenda behind a person’s writing before you even think about believing it. Then do your own research and see if that person is telling the truth. The world if full of lies, liars, and the scum who perpetuate those lies. Don’t be one of them.

Which one is McCullough, a liar or the scum who perpetuates the lies?

GTA IV

Filed under: Games,New York,Politics — Mr. Zero @ 10:53 pm

GTA IV – which looks breathtakingly delicious – has got politicians in New York up in arms. The game very closely resembles (is) New York City. As a resident, I welcome the opportunity to indulge my criminal revenge fantasies on my virtual neighbors. Beats going to Rikers.

Ride Accidents

Filed under: Games,General — Mr. Zero @ 3:49 am

After reading this site, I can safely say that I won’t be rushing out anytime soon to ride any carnival rides. Fairground Accidents apparently abound and the sense of danger is all too justified. Sadly, the victims are often children.

It takes a grim type of person to pull together this kind of information.  I recall that John Marr of Murder Can Be Fun fame put together an issue titled “Death at Disneyland” several years ago – it’s worth tracking down if you are into this kind of stuff.

How Infocom Failed

Filed under: Business,Education,Games — Mr. Zero @ 10:45 pm

Via Metafilter – the story of how Infocom failed. Infocom produced Zork and a whole host of text adventure games. They’re still pretty much some of the most imaginitive and challenging games to play.
