Hang on, wasn't there already a game called 1942?
Not only that, but it also really had sequels called 1943 and 1944, and a prequel called 1941. And just for good measure, one called 19XX.

Did it have Megaman in it? lol'd

In the year two-thousand and X!
The city was enveloped in the flames of destruction!
Buildings collapsed! The Earth cracked! And almost every living organism seemed about to perish!

Oh, that's just Popcorn's mom's vagina.

Don't blame me, I had to take a crack at his mom sooner or later. It's GHZ tradition.

"Videogames can teach you all kinds of ways to kill. You can pick someone off with a high-powered rifle, reach into a human chest and rip out a beating heart, or turn someone into a chicken." Ã¢â‚¬â€Cleveland Plain Dealer

Does anybody else think these people are getting desperate to ban video games?

Now, how can 'turning someone into a chicken' constitute as killing? I mean, they're still alive, they've just been transformed. Same thing happens in cartoons all the time.

The hysteria about videogames specifically is certainly to be expected, and in reality, the game industry doesn't have it nearly as rough as the film industry had it back in the 20's and 30's.

Yeah but the people buys the whole Ã¢â‚¬Å“Videogames make kids kill peopleÃ¢â‚¬ï¿¾ crapÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

And remember, WE ARE STUPID!!!, Ã¢â‚¬Å“WEÃ¢â‚¬ï¿¾ means the whole world...

Perhaps that comment was made by a cow from a Chik-A-Filla advertising campaign?

Now, that sounds like something Douglas TenNapel would concoct.

I'm more curious as to which video game it is exactly that teaches us mere mortals how to transform a human into a chicken.

Wasn't there some sort of transformation gun in one of those Ratchet & Clank games?

Yes, it could also do sheep in later games.

Stop. Posting. Webcomics.

No one finds them entertaining, and the people that do are retarded or have a shitty sense of humor.

Zeta · Post by **Zeta** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 5:03 pm

I can't see that comic. Too tiny.

Brazillian Cara · Post by **Brazillian Cara** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 6:04 pm

It's not too tiny. It's PhotoBucket.
