Podtoid 44 - Marsupial genitals

iTunes? Pff, I like to go direct to the source!

Your opinions better be valid, or you're all fat.

iTunes-ing this too. Can't wait to listen to this while on COD4 tonight.

I'm more interested in the 360/PS3 game that Spielberg is working on than Bloom Blox. But exploding Jenga with bomb does sound awesome.

Jim Sterling is my hero by rallying for games that are great even if they don't bring anything to the table. Why do we need a JRPG to completely redefine and partially ruin things for us. I want to play a game that plays like FF7 or BoF 3. Why can't I? Because studios won't F'ing make it. Kudo, Jim!

I need to work up the effort to fix my iTunes.

great topics once again. i am a born catholic from NY,now live in the bible belt of north carolina and would like to be defined as a man of GOD, and i hate being labeled a denomination of a belief. but i completely agree with the fact that bible to me anyway is the most violent and bloody book or anything for that matter. it is violent. one story has someone driving a tentpeg trough someone's temple while they slept. their is a double standard and believe me i don't tell anybody in north carolina i'm a born catholic or i face the baptists criticising me about a different way. i would love to play a bible game that was true in story telling and gameplay.(david and goliath mini-game,david stealth cave robe cutting,ect.) i would buy it in a heartbeat,BUT i wouldn't let my kids watch it,no way. but teaching someone a history has his hands full. civil war(bloody)had to happen,ww2(genocide)had to happen but like the theme of mgs2 we have a responsibility to all future generations to try to tell the "truth"

good podtoid again. glad Jim wasn't lagged oblivion. it's always fun to listen to him.

Also, I love letting my girlfriend play through games. It leaves me free to work and enjoy the game at the same time.

Great show guys and (gal).

However, I would like to note I think Mr. Bruce Everiss did the bible word count as a parody of a lot of the "concerned parent groups" system for ranking for books and such.

My wife often goes to such sites (to have a good laugh. I, unfortunately, get really pissed at all the inaccuracies), and several of them have a review system where they would list the number of times such and such a word occurred and rank the book, movie or whatever, by that word list. And words such as "kill", "stupid", "dumb", "idiot", etc.. are on these lists.

It is so stupid. It reminds me of the infamous Albert Bandura study of 1963, where they showed children a film of someone punching an inflatable clown. Afterwards, when placed in a room with the same clown they saw in the film, the children would punch it. According to the study, this proves film, TV or whatever, can make kids have "heightened aggression". But let's all take a step back for a second...

THEY'RE PUNCHING A FREAKING INFLATABLE CLOWN!

as both an adamant gamer, and an adamant Christian, i don't think u can justify the Bible as of being "adult" in the sense that it speaks of sex, condemnation, or murder. i do agree that there r the hypocritical christians who think that it is the gaming companies' responsibility to protect their children and deny the responsibilities of parenthood, but that is because they are dumbass parents and not because they are christians. the fact of the matter is that within Manhunt (although it doesn't preach how to live your life) you get more points for a more grotesque and more brutal murder(go from yellow to red, shards of class, plastic bags, etc.), which whilst the Bible displays refrainment from such acts(Genesis: Cain & Able). Now there is a difference from a murderer and a warrior, comparing sampson(who ripped the foreskin off of all his fallen enemies) to a murderer, is much like comparing your country's soldiers to Jeffery Dahmer. it is because that is what the typical warrior mentality was like at the time. the Bible is one of the most accurate historical texts everwritten and THERE HAS YET TO BE ONE THING PROVEN WRONG within it, and in order to refer to the content of the Bible as "that stuff", he cleary made an attack upon the Christian religion and it should be expected that there will be a retaliation. SO THERE!



P.S.- would it be a bad time to mention that if the speech were directed at Muslims, then there wouldn't be a retalliation of messages, but a realiation of RPGs and gunfire? seems like the bible has proven to teach patience and refrainment pretty fuckin well for being so "corrupt".
