It's nice to see that a couple of people have some perspective and aren't being run by their emotions. Talk about absolutely asinine comparisons or hypotheticals - this thread takes the cake.

"I have a grandmother that died so no one can ever make a joke about old people again!! Waaah!" Give me a goddammed break.

Rape seems like the appropriate punishment for an inappropriate joke... oh wait.

If rape is a joke to him, sure why not? He's not against it if he thinks its a funny public joke to make at work.

So the pro-rape crowd can buy Rare Inc. products, the rest of us will not. Rape jokes have no place especially at work. Hope the guy from Rare Inc. gets some unwanted man-lovin and finds it funny.

Accuses people of being pro-rape. Says rape jokes have no place.

Then proceeds to say he hopes man gets raped, and not just raped, but raped by another man.

Interesting.

I'm not making a joke, I truly would think karma is wonderful if the guy from Rare Inc. got to experience what he finds funny. I'm against rape, but I'm ok with the Rare Inc. guy getting some as he seems to think it's not a big deal.

Fact is you, nor anyone else, have a meaningful rationale as to why jokes about violent sex crimes are funny.

Trust me, rage posting is far better than what I'd do if you were standing in front of me stating that jokes about raping women is funny.

I don't know why anyone would think it's just gamers given the popularity of comedy acts and shows right now like Tosh.0 that go pretty far out there with sexism, racist jokes, rape jokes, and so on. Communal humor is almost always tied in to current popular comedy culture.

It ain't just gamers.

If I came to where you lived, raped your mother, daughter, sister, brother, or father...that would be freaking hilarious wouldn't it?

I don't agree with that comparison. Popping a paper bag is sort of a general, non-specific prank. You may not consider it funny, but it's not specifically directed at PTSD in this example, and could be considered sort of a gray area. On the other hand, a joke that is specifically about PTSD is a completely different beast.

Why? Because 5 is better than 4!

Getting rid of used games and going all digital makes a ton of sense.

Like I keep saying, though, had Microsoft given the choice, people would have made it. Offer a convenient all digital option that has good pricing and sales and people would forgo physical media, and therefore used sales, in droves.

You gave people a choice, made one better, and people made the choice you wanted.
It would have been pretty damn easy to do.

It's really simple, if you had a friend or family member that had been raped, you wouldn't find rape jokes very funny, nor would you defend them.

Anyone that thinks rape jokes are funny and tries to justify them, needs a reality check.

Not really worth buying the whole game again. I wonder if there'll be an upgrade version on Steam.

The Typhoon aug is very effective against the bosses so if you make sure you have that and a few rounds, you don't have to suffer the bosses for long.

I hate the direction Microsoft is taking with the Xbox One and Windows 8 (which, due to the lack of windows, should've been called Windows One).

Nevertheless, I preordered an XB1, because I can't live without Forza 5, Halo, and a couple other exclusives. I'm still holding out hope that Microsoft will come to their senses and drop the DRM, online requirements, and Kinect crap. Still, I have no doubt that the PS4 will outsell the XB1... The PS4 is more powerful and $100 less... and it's not watching you when you make out on the couch.

Open letter to HBO: Make it available for download or streaming without an HBO subscription, and people will pay you. Lots of people.

SONY's earlier E3 presentation was certainly suggesting more than "just like PS3" no?

I dont blame SONY for seizing the PR moment, but they hedged after the fact.
