Kotaku - "Boy Severs Arms After Playing Video Game" read the headline of a story that ran on CNN's iReport site earlier this morning. It's the stuff of nightmares for video game advocates, another chance for those who demonize games' effects on human behavior to crucify the medium.
Over 12 years after its original release, dating sim visual novel Katawa Shoujo is going to be available via both Steam and Itch.io for PCs.
KeenGamer: "We have the best visual novels to suggest to you, but we do recognize that many gamers don’t consider visual novels as games. Sluggishly leafing through dialogues, from time to time making choices. Additionally, many don’t like the anime style of the genre. Maybe we can change your mind."
Most games today are safe to play with colleagues and family, however, some games still have that “nope, I don’t want my mom to see me playing this”-feel to them. Christian has played most of this genre, and has made a list of his top 10 NSFW games.
“Most of the game is safe to play with family, but you can be unlucky and have your parents walk in on the scene that features dildo’s and the characters’ parents having sex.”
I think you mean kids walking in on dad fapping. Pretty sure the age group of South Park fans makes it the parents playing the game. Maybe I was supposed to quit gaming when I had kids though...
Ahh... Gaming news at its finest!!!
It isn't just gaming that gets this treatment either. It's everything. Journalists are no longer looking to report the facts and allow their viewers to make up their own minds. If u consider competition (which is unlike any time in history w few checks), & agendas (which r also driven by competition), & the 24 hour news cycle in which something new is needed every few minutes, there is rarely an article that isn't affected by a bias or a slant, and many times, outright lies or hack jobs made to appear one way when the writer knows it isn't true. Unfortunately, it has forced us (by us, i mean the select few who still care about truth regardless of what it is) to go elsewhere. And that is where the real fun begins because siftng through different sources can b tireless,and do we ever really know? This saddens me deeply. One of my greatest pains in life is realizing i have lost a trusted source.
It has always been the press' job to be our protection from deception and harm. It was granted the high honor of holding government and commerce accountable. Instead they crawled into bed and left us defenseless. I am an American and consider my constitution and bill of rights to be my protector, the giver of my freedom,not as an American but as a human being. And this article is a reflection of another recent example that may just have been the nail in the coffin of freedom. On January 1st, our president signed the NDAA, giving our government the right to apprehended (not arrest, more like kidnapping) any American citizen under their suspicion and hold him indefinitely without a represention, a trial, or habeas corpus, all required by our founding documents. But, our president assured us that his administration would not use it. Really? Then why sign it? Why make it law for future leaders? Oh, and Mitt Romney assured us that he would have signed it also. So,instead of limiting the patriot act, rendition,and Guantanamo, as be promised, he conitinued those practices and upped the ante to absurd degrees. Yes, there are a few who actually believe that this is criminal (Paul and santorum) but you wont find the in Congress (for the most part) or...the press. This occurred on an off press day to attempt to skirt the headlines, and the press obliged. Instead of adorning every paper the next day with this atrocity..it simply went unaware.
So, when i read an article like this, it simply reaffirms my belief that i have lost all my faith in the pillars of this society. One last example. In a time when our government has run without a budget for 2 years, borrowing money from future American to keep election promises made years ago, attempting to further raise taxes on a recessed economy when all the wealth of our top 1% wouldn't run our government for a year, continuing to add entitlements to get votes, while the existing ones are about 40 trillion in debt, a congressman in NY wants to pass a bill to make sure cell phone cameras make a clicking sound.
Think about this. The majority of ppl in the top 25% of this country r Republicans, and the majority of lower middle class and poor are Democrats. Why would dems ever want you to become wealthy? And why would Republicans want to give money to the poor? Yes, there is a time to give breaks to job creators,and a time to help the poor. Right now is the time for everyone to realize that we r in a sinking ship and sacrifices must be made, not handouts, either to corps or the poor. It is the time for clear thjnking, common sense and sanity. But, as the past has shown us, it wont happen. And we have the press to thank, as it was their job to alert us and they didn't.
I don't get it.
I can't understand why people behave so shocked when a newspaper/press do something dubious. The media isn't regulated. It allowed people who were willing to go into 'dark corners' to climb to the top, and hold people at ransom.
It used to be something which shined the truth, when it was hard to see. Now, anything you read is questionable.

How could they NOT know it was a joke site. I mean, look at the bottom...
"Steave Jubs and Tupac release a new album, Iphone 7"
"Banging underage chicks on Facebook"
"Tall man caught jerking off into Kinder Surprise egg"
"Visit Kenya, where Obama was born"
This stuff is hilarious.
The Wikipedia blackout presents a horrifying picture of a world with no knowledge. So does the CNN website, which is running normally.
