Glad to see this up. I'll try to get some semblance of a character sheet cobbled together soon.

I mean, as a British person, it's always nice when the Americans pick a different stereotype to villanize in media.

In the end of the day, we can't pretend that video games are anything but products. They are produced by autonomous companies, usually in line with market trends, for an audience. If you don't like a game, regardless of how half baked your reasoning or the polical beliefs that lead you there, you have the right not to buy it. Vote with your wallet. It clearly wasn't made with you in mind, and they'll probably survive without your money. There's no such thing as a taste consensus.

Sounds good to me.

Well obviously it's that darned liberal media, using vidya games to dechristianise/denazify the youths *shakes fist*

In all seriousness though, I think it comes with the territory. Games that include controversial topics invite criticism (even half baked criticism) and the developers themselves shouldn't be expecting anything else. It clearly doesn't dent their profits too much, otherwise these companies wouldn't carry on using those sorts of topics. It just goes back to personal taste, and how much influence you think the media actually has.

Any thoughts on when we might kick this off?

Finish the Sentence, Create a Story

There once was a man, who is well known in his city. His name was John but on weekends it was Britney. On Sundays, his name was Carl. The rest of the time, it was 'dumbass'. And he has two things that always accompany him, a list of names and a worn-out red marker. It would surprise you to know that, while it went against the expected function, the marker was not for writing on paper.

Morning light filled the hospital, the smell of death hung in the air. The pale walls shone wetly. Above Dumbass's bed hung a portrait of the Quartermaster of the KSR, and by his nightstand was a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush. John had ended up with a broken hip after tripping himself at the stair. Or, at least that's what he told the Doctors had broken his hip. In fact, it had been something far more sinister; autohypnotic asphyxiation. Heading back home, he saw, that the mayor's car had been entirely covered in cling film. Confused by his misadventures, he decided that a live tentacle porn show was the next best option.

He proceeded to go to the fishmongers, and detail precisely what his plan was. The Fishmonger agreed,

"Fourty dollars for fifteen minutes sounds fair." Dumbass reached into his pocket to find that he had forgot his wallet at home.

"Do you accept IOUs?"
