I think these violent games turn people into psycho-killers
and serial murderers and that's not good.

They should rewrite the game and make it a porn game with
lots of nudity instead. Make love, not war - games, that's what
we need!!!

So instead of going around killing people (I don't subscribe to that,
but just going with the logical flow), we just go around raping
everyone. That's so much better!
But seriously, I don't like your first premise, that "these violent
games turn people into psycho-killers and serial murderers." I play
plenty of violent games, but I wouldn't ever even consider killing
somebody other than out of self-defense, or to defend others. I think
this is because I'm able to discern the difference between the Game
World and Real Life. That's my two cents, and now I'll go back to my
corner and lurk some more..

The man's right. You are a man, aren't you? For a moment there all that lace
and makeup had me, but then I saw the blue shadow on your chin.

You're right, there were never murderers, or wars, before violent computer
games...

So basically we have to burn all books, movies, games etc?

Except porn which has as little to do with love as HL has to do with
real life?

hmmm - talking about a twisted mind :(

If Gordon was in outer worlds screwing alien beings, the game would be
called Star Trek, not Half Life.

The actual sex is merely implied, since ST was made in the golden days of
TV.  You'll have to use your imagination.
Then again, the violence in Half-Life is also implied, since you don't
actually see Gordon kill anyone unless you switch to third person view.

I'm disappointed. I watched a full episode and didn't even see so
much as Uhuras' nipple.

Uhura does, however, state flat-out in one episode that she's not a
virgin... in my all-time favorite ad-libbed-and-got-past-the-censors line:

Episode - "The Naked Time"; the one where the crew gets infected with a
virus that makes Spock go all weepy, and Sulu run around half-naked thinking
he's D'Artagnan (sp?).

Sulu: (swashing a buckle onto the bride, pecs a'gleaming)
"Ah, fair maiden!"

Uhura: (sardonically)
"Sorry, neither".

Heh. I've just this minute read this on another forum I
frequent...

"After playing in the jazz clubs all night in LA,
mornings I would go to 'cattle calls' at the TV and movie
studios. That's where all the young actors wait in line
(like cattle) to read for parts. There's usually ten
gazillion actors reading for 3 parts, so most people
don't get the part. But you get coffee and bagels free
and you might just be the one that gets picked to do
something like a "Yoeman Anderson" part.
That's the new guy on Star Trek that beams
down to the planet with Kirk and Bones and
all the other top brass. Anderson, of course,
gets killed by the 7 headed she monster alien
after Kirk has sex with her."

So there you go, loads of sex in Star Trek. I must just keep
missing those episodes.

One can deal with trolling in two ways
1) Simply ignore the posting
2) Turn the posting into something usefull

And in bost cases please ignore the collecting group (crosspoted) in this
case it is alt.recipes.babies
Nice name for such a group btw

I take it, then, that you haven't played Episode 1, and/or that you missed
the bit where Dr. Kleiner is telling people to get busy?
