Usually Best Buy. Unless I am in a hurry, then it would be EBgames as they are closer :D

IGN yanks GTAIV hooker sex, killing video

lol! You are killin me here dr wags! Seriously, even if I wasn't drinking, snorting coke, and telling the four hookers I have here to lay in front of my car so I can run them over after I was done with them, I would still be laughing!

Even though none of the above is true, aside from the drinking, to understand that not everyone is the same? Just because I don't find GTA in the least bit offensive and you do, does not mean that I think you are wrong. I just think you are a wacko! :D

Not everyone that plays violent games has something morally wrong with them! Do you not understand even a little that is just fun? I am guessing you don't judging by your posts. Still, not everyone goes playing GTA just to get an idea how life is.

I know this is off subject, again, but, the political correctness is just stupid. I am so sick and tired of all the things I can't do and say cause it might hurt someones feelings. Well guess what? That is the way life is! I am trying to be as nice as possible here cause I really don't like people telling me what I can and can not play. I know you are just stating your opinion but, as far as I am concerned, you might as well be Jack 'ass' Thompson.

Feel free to argue with me more as I have the time and the beer to do so :D

Anything has the potential to be destructive dr wags! The problem here is that the world is becoming so pussified that it is turning anything and everything into some argument.

Holy crap! I killed a hooker in a game. I am mentally unstable now. Oh dear Lord, I said black person! I am racially insensitive now. I ate a piece of bacon and now PETA is protesting in front of my house.

The problem is, is that the world is so politically correct and no one can say or do anything without looking over their shoulder because they might offend someone. I for one, don't give a shit.

The point remains, if you don't like it, don't play it. Afterall, it is your choice and it is a game :D

Well pop culture philosopher, you bring up a good point. Where do you draw the line? Myself, I have kids, so, a child molesting game would not be high on my list of games to play. Unless, it was really really good :D

All jokes aside, it really depends on what kinda of person you are. I am really laid back and GTA kinda games do not bother me in the least. Never have and never will. I am a mature adult and I know what my limits are. So far, no game has came out that has offended me. They are after all, just games.

For some ppl this is just not their style. I am ok with that. But, don't tell me and everyone else that it is bad for everyone just because you dont agree with it. I severely hate PETA but, I don't goto their site and post pics of my with a beer up a cats ass! :D

I don't think just because you laugh at certain things warp your morality. Just because I find the humor in it does not mean my sense of morality is twisted. When I see these things in a game, funny. When I see them in real life, not funny. I know the difference as do most gamers cause we are in our thirties now which means that devs need to make games that cater to us! GTA, RE, Silent Hill, Age of Conan, Saints Row, etc. all cater to 18-30+ males and we like violence and boobs!

You can sit there and tell my that these games make a difference to the mental state of mental people but, I am never ever going to believe it cause it is not due to the game, it is dependent on the mental condition of the person that plays it :D

So, you are telling me that playing CoD is fine but GTA isn't? That makes no sense to me. How can you put one violent game above the other? Is is because in GTA you have the choice to do more things than just follow a war story taking out only the bad guys? GTA is popular because you can do things that you can't in real life and most people understand this. I kill a hooker in a game and jump off a skyscraper in a game because it is fun! Knowing full well I can't do these thing in real life :D

So what you are tellin me is that if I sit here for 12 hours a day playing violent games and watch crappy slasher films, I will become a mass murder? lol

I have been playing games since I was 8! I am 34 now and I don't plan to stop anytime soon. Hell, just finished a 12 hour GTAIV session and I don't feel like going out and humping a hooker then kill her to get my money back. lol

I would much prefer to have a beer or 24 and do what ever the hell I want in GTA with friends! I do not believe this violent games = violent people bullshit in the least! :D

Oh how I love a good debate in the afternoon! :D I don't really care for torture films not horror films that much but, just because I don't like them does not mean other people don't I am a very open guy when it comes to these things and none of it offends me.

Video games are what I do for a living so, maybe I see them different than you do. And I sure don't think that the games make people violent. My 8 year old son plays almost everything I do and he is the nicest kid you could ever meet.

If parents take the time time to teach their kids right from wrong and tell them the difference between fiction and reality instead of wanting to blame everything on a damn game, the world would be just a tad better :D

Ya know, movies do just about the same thing in the trailers. They show stealth kills and crap blowing up all the time not to mention some of the romance part. GTA is a series that grabs bad attention no matter what! Making a video about killing hookers and strip clubs is not a bullseye for the game! It is part of the game and everyone knows it.

It kills me that people bitch about the video and then have it removed just to have it pop up on youtube where you can find a lot worse things than pixelated porn! Get over it :D
