A few more bible games a few less games about violence, philandering and whoring maybe there will be a few less shootings and single mothers in this world.

Sad that people hate the idea of a game about the bible but love GTA, maybe the word of God scares them. This is a sad generation, maybe the one of the last before God cast down the new Babylon into ruin.

@sol_invictus55 That started off as quality trolling, but the Dexter season six vibe at the end makes it too obvious.

@sol_invictus55 Please don't say that you are serious... Do you know how many people have been killed because of religion? Video games have nothing to do with shootings, unless the shooter is mentally ill, in which case any form of entertainment can influence him and the only thing we can do about it is to strictly control firearm distribution. Believe what you want, but don't spread around something like this. Then again, you're probably just a troll who wants to start an argument. Have a great day :)

@Zombie97 @sol_invictus55

Yes I do know how many, zero. People kill religion does not kill. And if you believe in the bible killing is forbidden.

@d-man @amdreallyfast @sol_invictus55 @Zombie97 I think that we can all agree that religion causes more problems than it solves, the discussion we are having is a good example. I won't deny that religion has played a crucial role in the development of our society, but it's time to move on and base our lives on scientific facts, not some ancient books. Listen, I don't care whether you worship the christian God, Allah, Buddha, Jupiter, Hades, Ra or Gabe Newell himself, you have the right to do that, but you can't say things like ''before God cast down the new Babylon into ruin'' and expect to be taken seriously, your comment seemed hostile. Keep your beliefs to yourself and, even though I will not understand you, I will respect you. I hate arguing with anyone and want to have a nice, friendly and respectful community, but I felt that I needed to get this off my chest. I hope that there will be a time when everybody can get along.

@amdreallyfast @sol_invictus55 @Zombie97 I read the first paragraph of your post three times and it still doesn't make any sense to me. Consider taking some hundred-level English courses at your local community college.

@sol_invictus55 @Zombie97 Incorrect. Murder is forbidden, which is defined as anyone whose has harbored hatred. And killing based of that was so abhorrent that it was a capital punishment. Perhaps that is what you were referring to.

But I do agree that, technically, people kill and not religion. People kill in the name of many things, religion being a common yet often shallow justification, but religion itself is an belief set, which could no more kill than a napkin (baring nasty papercuts).

@sol_invictus55 @Zombie97 By your own logic video games featuring "violence, philandering and whoring" (boo hoo) have zero effect on murder statistics in our culture since religion can take no credit for death and murder, either. Nice try, troll, but far more people have been killed in the name of God than a few red pixels could ever hope to accomplish.

Parental control works great. That's the reason why 9 of 10 people playing CoD are kids.

@LordCrash88 Please note: parental controls, like most safeguards, only work well if properly enabled.

For me, the most interesting news this week was the announcement PS Now. If Sony manages to do everything right, this could truly be something amazing, imagine playing Skyrim or The Last of Us on PS Vita. The only problem I have with this is that I've heard that you won't be able to own the games, but hopefully Sony will listen to the feedback from users and add the option to purchase the games or explain why it's not a good idea, I'm of those people who doesn't like to rent or borrow stuff if I can buy it for a reasonable price :D

@Zombie97 Ownership is an age old concept, but I suggest that the digital world has brought an alternative to ownership. You can borrow something perfectly intact, you can't break it, and it is automatically returned at the proper time. Part of the point of ownership (other than to say that you have it) is to have ready access to the item, but if it is readily available for a small but constant fee, do you really need to own it?

Truth be told, I'm still on the fence about this. If all goes perfectly (which it never does), I would be all for the small but constant fee because I could get easy access to whatever game I want, whenever I want it. But in reality, there are legal fights and I don't always get the titles I want. This is why I still buy movies even though I subscribe to Netflix.

But yeah, I really hope it goes well too.

@amdreallyfast @Zombie97 I just don't like to pay for something more than once. If I buy a game, I want to be able to keep it for ever. Of course, I'm certain that PS Now won't be around after 20 years, but I at least want to have full access to my games for its entire lifetime without any extra payments.

@Zombie97 @amdreallyfast Then you should buy a hard copy. I'm hardcore against DRM but the ability to pay a monthly fee for access to lots of content has its place. I can't imagine the Playstation Now model being the thing that does away with physical discs when they still sell for $60 each. Also, I don't care what they say, my 10mbps connection sees lag all the time, no way it will be as good as a disc in my console.

Sorry you're still sick, but, you did well anyway! Are those freckles I see? Looking forward to you and Seb on this week's Skyrim Mod show. That "blooper" made me think of the old Alfred Hitchcock show intro (WAAAAAYYYY before your time) for some reason... Either that or you channeled John Cleese...

My only comment is about Steam box: I made my own, it's called a PC... :p

Hope you get better soon...

As far as the watermelon goes in MGSV, if you don't know by now, any game made by japan just has off-the-wall random stuff that doesn't make any sense and has nothing to do with the real game. When has japan ever taken any of their games seriously...................seriously.

@Diegoctba It's obviously Pacifica Ocean since the warning is for Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.. which only features one mission. The base camp mission where you are supposed to rescue Paz and Chico..

or maybe it's Chico, but that would be molestation of an underage character and while they might be able to get away with that in Japan I highly doubt that would fly in america.

In America, can't show the sex scene, in Europe, no violence. I bet that the american version will just have a fight on that scene, and the european a consensual sex.

@Diegoctba @tommyd79 well it's supposedly just an audio tape that you can find and listen to. I can't imagine the hoops one would have to go through to actually find it though. Kojima is good at making the naughty stuff tougher to view/listen to.
