Extra Credits: Facing Controversy

I think this is their most thought-provoking entry yet.

I had no idea those soldiers wanted the game to be made. And that reporter is a bitch.

Well that woman interviewing in Fox was certainly neutral and not trying to push one side of the issue.

Leave it to a woman to try and relate to a violent video game. It's always an outcry. She's probably never played a video game (of any sort) for that matter. If they had shown the full show and not just clips, I'm sure there's a good chance we would have heard her say, "think of the children".

Was kind of miffed the term 'revisit an issue' was used when it should have been 'repeat an old episode'. It's not like I didn't think it was a good move to replay the episode this week (even if it wasn't topical, I understand that these things take a while to put together), I just hate it when you're obliged to stick around waiting to see if anything new has been added.

edit: To be fair, it's a repost of an episode made before the series was taken up by the Escapist.

and yeah wtf at the "fair and balanced" fox reporter

I love this series. It has completely changed how I see video games and how I play them. Those guys are the kind of people who will help raise this medium to the level of art (for some games anyway).

Sexist much?

No, it's pretty much a fact.

Males are highly aggressive, and women are not. Do you have health education in Moscow?

The other stuff is based on the way she presented herself. Did you even watch it?
