that is the dumbest thing ive ever heard, 12 months inside for killing a person in a videogame?!?, jesus christ on a crapper!.

[Terran]

Yeah I almost posted this a while ago....its just sooo CRAZY....I almost put it up in general discussion because it almsot merits itself there....

[Chaos]

Germans have to get over their post-war pacifism. Censorship of games is utterly ridiculous. Proof that fascism is still alive and well in Europe.

Don't feel bad though, America is next. Bush and his lackeys, along with the evangelicals will see to that.

[ssbib]

I'd be in jail for life after 5 mins of GTA!

more like arnie and that clinton bitch, ill say a fair amount of anti bush stuff but ill say thsi for the guy, hes never ranted on about violence in videogames.


...though in retrospect i reckon after his speeches george w. loves to sit in the white house and go on a killing spree in doom or ghost recon:lol:

[DjfunkmasterG]

This is funny as hell. This one statement got me ROTFLMAO

"Even games such as Dead Rising are regarded as crossing a threshold of acceptability since violence towards zombies is considered to be too close to violence towards real people"

So there is someone out their standing up for the UNDEAD shouting... Hey, Zombies were people too.

Always looking out for the underdog... Those loveable Germans. :)

[Danny]

yeah someone should ask zombie man what he thinks about zombie rights:lol:

[DjfunkmasterG]

Someone needs to ADD that as a zombie man question for IAZM2

[Danny]

just what for mz to read this thread, i reckon he cant pass up that one.

Hellsing I just love your avatar.
I think that is just insane. My friend has a swastika tatoo I better tell him to never go to Germany. Gezzz.

I mean I am in shock. I always thought Europe as well as germany were a little more open and less censored than us Americans. I guess I was wrong.

[slickwilly13]

From genocide to jailing people for playing violent video games. That's plain sad...

[capncnut]

Being jailed for killing someone in a videogame, how utterly ridiculous!

[coma]

more like arnie and that clinton bitch, ill say a fair amount of anti bush stuff but ill say thsi for the guy, hes never ranted on about violence in videogames.

If it would give him a bump Im sure he would, that fuktard.
Arnold critiszed Video Game? I cant believe that. Really. That guy LOVES violence:)

[Danny]

you kidding?, hes one of the worst of these "pokemon blue makes people kill" friggtards.

[MinionZombie]

Goddamn you friggin' German crazy lawmakers ... now I'm gonna have to see if I can somehow squeeze in a dig to the script I "locked off" two weeks ago. :mad:

Don't expect miracles people ... yes I am amazingly awesome (:p), but well ... who knows. :evil:

I find it bizarre they're so fussed over a videogame ... is this their version of "white guilt"? The gubment is feeling guilty over the holocaust and nazis and all that stuff - even though that was so long ago the ones in power now didn't have any control over those events ... pfft, when will people learn, videogames provide a safe and virtual environment in which to exert the violent tendencies mankind holds within its DNA.

[DjfunkmasterG]

I still think you need to put this into the IAZM2 script somehow, and not only get it in there, but make it sound cheerful from ZM's point of view...

Here is a bit of dialogue you can play with MZ... No writing credit needed thank you very much." :D

"As you know I try my best to keep up on current events, and recent news has shown there is a voice out there for those of us in the ranks of the UNDEAD. The once Nazi supporting, Jew hating germans have come to the aid of the living impaired and have shouted to the world "Hey zombies are people too. This all stemming from video game violence. Those loveable krauts feel zombie based video games are two violent because zombies resemble real people. You know, It gives me a warm a fuzzy feeling knowing someone out here is not trying to put a friggin bullet in my head, but is out there trying to embrace us, a minority in the living world....I compare the feeling of this news just like being sacked in the beanbag with a 5lb brick." :lol:

[MinionZombie]

I'll go and have a look at the script now and see what I can add in, perhaps not to that length, but as an aside I should be able to squeeze in a nod to it. :)

Typical really, I'd just printed the script off and locked it down and then they come out with this, *scowls, shakes fist with crooked posture* Ya damn Krauts, get off mah lawn!!!

Nah the Germans are alright, they make good cars ... all that vorsprung dur technik stuff. :cool:

[_liam_]

wow we kicked their asses in the war for nothing...they just cant stop opressin'

the fact they didnt piss themselves laughing and stick it above das water cooler before having whoever suggested it shot speaks volumes

[Terran]

*yawn* yes i know, the russians chased them back to berlin after stalingrad etc, i meant we as in the allied powers. we (as in the uk) didnt so much beat them as hold them off till everyone else got in gear.

*wink*....
well if you get that specific the English are the only ones who really "beat" the WWII germans...
More grit/tenacity than is merited ...UK owned then in their determination....

[_liam_]

hehe...you can't beat that whole "we will fight them on the beaches...in the streets...in the fields...we will NEVER surrender!"

he might as well have shouted "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!" at the end. can't imagine any politician having the balls churchill did in this day & age.

[MinionZombie]

Indeed, Churchill was carrying a hefty set when he sent the plucky Brits into WWII ... a long time ahead of certain chaps who were hiding under their isolationist duvet going "nah nah nah, I'm not listening, nah nah nah". :lol:

And - he was a Conservative, the only party that's historically had the balls to get sh*t done, even if it's really really really tough or not a popular choice. (That said I'm no Tory Boy - I'm a "common sense merchant" - you've gotta have some cohones to dispense common sense)...

What were we on about? Oh yeah ... that retarded law ... pfft, lol.

[Terran]

he might as well have shouted "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!" at the end. can't imagine any politician having the balls churchill did in this day & age.

If he said "All your base are belong to us!" I would urinate regulary from sheer delight.... That would just be too awsome.... :)

[Danny]

aye, that would be damn funny.

i aint seen that flash cartoon in a while either...:shifty:

[Tricky]

Although i think if the germans hadnt been fighting us in france and africa,italy etc then they could easily have contained the russians and probably pushed them back.Good job we split germanys forces by fighting on all fronts really!although looking back on history,especially since the iron curtain fell & revealed a lot more about russia,stalin was just as bad as hitler,if not worse!

Thank you so much. I haven't seen that video in years!!!

[Theodore]

Well, Resident Evil 3 was released on Germany long time ago and it received a "cut"... And as for Dead Rising, the version is banned on Germany but U.S version is still on the shelves (my two cents).

And for the interesting note, I heard that Dawn of the Dead was heavily cut in Germany.

[MinionZombie]

A lot of films are heavily cut in Germany, Day of the Dead was banned for a time I believe, and either still is or is heavily cut. For some reason they take offence to violence and gore ... national/governmental guilt methinks ... but why be so sensitive, this media is mainly of American origin, they didn't make it.

The legislation would be retarded to introduce, Crytec are Germanic and have stated they'll piss off somewhere less repressive if it comes in. Crytec are bringing profits and business to Germany, it'd be stupid to let them slip and potentially lose other such businesses and revenue from such titles.

[HLS]

I loved the video. It got to be too annoying to watch all the way.





aye, that would be damn funny.

Wow, Marie. I'm proud of you: extreme thread necromancy without any adding anything new!

[SRP76]

Not her fault she's just now posting. She's been in prison for killing someone in Vice City for the past 4 years.

On a more serious note, it's been all this time since all the bitching about this law, so does anyone have any instances where it was actually enforced?

[Danny]

My friend has a swastika tatoo I better tell him to never go to Germany.

Huh. Why did we not pick up on this?

[MikePizzoff]

Huh. Why did we not pick up on this?

:lol: Holy shit, seriously, how did we not catch that?!

[mista_mo]

Wow, Marie. I'm proud of you: extreme thread necromancy without any adding anything new!

AND I JUST DID THE SAME THING AS WELL!

And I just did too. The circle continues.
