theSnake      This is why women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

theSnake Yeah but we only do it to get laid.
|
|
rustedmutt      It's a VIDDEY GAME, you retarded twat.
|
Hooker      Wait, you literally stab people with literal knives in Manhunt 2?
|
|
|
theSnake You do use the controller to mimic stabbing and other murdering motions but thats besides the point. ITS NOT REAL.
|
Xenocide This game literally lets you pretend to be a murderer. Just like how five nights a week, Katie Couric literally pretends to be a journalist.
|
RomancingTrain She loves that word. She asked Hans Blix what it was like to literally have the weight of the world on his shoulders.

SARS     this is just another re-hash of our generations Mortal Kombat paranoia, back when the media assumed every kid on the playground was going to try ripping out their friend's still-beating heart.
Kids aren't as dumb as the news makes them out to be... except for that one who buried his head in the sandbox. He was a real retard.

Unsung     I tried submitting the "all manhunt 2 executions" vid, but it never made it out of the hopper. Probably got red flagged to death before anyone could even see it.

I remember playing Carmageddon 2 for about 12 hours straight when it first came out. I started having nightmares of massive vehicular accidents, and when I was driving I started getting pretty creeped out and testy. There must be something wrong with sustaining high levels of adrenaline for long amounts of time in a blood & gore setting. In general playing insanely violent games for a long time can alter your mood, as with doing any activity. Duh.
Anyway, I think people should be able to play whatever the fuck they want, but there is no way in hell I'd let kids play the totally immersive, fucked up shit they are releasing now. It's not Contra and its not Street Fighter.
|
Adramelech      As far as I can tell, the only factual piece of information in this video is that Manhunt 2 exists.
|
Mike Tyson?!     "Entertainment."
|
SARS holy crap. she's 51.
|
|
revdrew     I hate you Katie Couric. What she is saying is essentially correct, though.. got a kid under 17? Don't let em play Manhunt. That should be a no brainer anyway.
|
Xenocide      I love how she buries "oh by the way, minors can't legally buy this" in the middle of the report, then immediately ignores this fact so she can continue scaring people.
Game retailers always get screwed over in these reports. They have become really anal and strict about their employees not letting kids buy M games, yet every time the news mentions the M rating, they immiedatally follow it up with "BUT RETAILERS LET KIDS BUY THEM ANYWAY HOLY SHIT!" I'd say they should threaten to pull advertising except the only companies that still sponsor the evening news make dentures and laxatives.

Stog      VIDEO GAMES ARE VIOLENT FRRRRRRRRRRHHHHBBLLLPPLGGGNNNNNGGGFRRRRPPBBLLB
Fuck you, Katie Couric. At least when you were on the Today show you were tolerable.
|
Frank Rizzo      I loved the first one, but for somereason I never went ahead and bought the second one.
But now Im buying it, and not used either (I always buy used) Im gettig a new version to actually increase the sales.
I look forward to the quote unquote entertainment.
|
CornOnTheCabre      beautiful. the way she's able to say so many consecutive words without actually conveying any meaning makes me realize why she has gotten as far as she has in American media.
|
citrusmirakel      Follow up report:
"Manhunt 2 boasts an alleged sadistic violent bloodstorm that actually got it banned in the United Kingdom. A warning label on the box lets buyers know that the game is rated M for Mature, meaning that you're supposed to be over 17 to buy it, but there is NO warning label ANYWHERE informing consumers that it really, really sucks. Boy, does it suck. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!"

wtf japan      I'M GONNA STRANGLE HER WITH MY WIIMOTE!!! BLAAARGH!!
I'd give her a page of my notebook, but it's mostly just sketches of penises.
|
RomancingTrain      How did she break out of the early morning quagmire?
|
Camonk      Katie focused on the wrong part of that notebook pate. She shoulda shown the unicorn she'd drawn, and the little heart with Morley Schafer's name in it.
|
Cube THAT'S Katie Couric?
|
Enjoy     And this is why we get our news from Jon Stewart.
|
Vicious      I loved stabbing the fuck out of the air with a Wiimote.
|
oogaBooga      I loved manhunt 2. Then again I love putting pens through people's temples.
