videogames worse than crack cocaine..minister warns
Labour MP Tristan Bunt (left) yesterday warned of the dangers of videogames to society. Speaking to a conference of people somewhere, he said that he feared for the morals of todays youth. "Last week I was horrified to discover my son playing a videogame involving a small boy wearing a green costume running around throwing pigs. Later in the game he apparently tries to rescue his captured sister, but it all sounds horrific to me." When asked by members of the audience what on earth he was talking about he held up a copy of Computer and Video Games magazine, but admitted that he hadn't managed to open it for fear of brain corruption.

1. QUICK! Somebody send that man a care package!

We'll be sure to include a bunch of wholesome, family favorites to help him see the error of his ways!

How about:

BMX XXX (PS 2)
Mafia (PC)
Max Payne (PC)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (PS 2)
Postal and Postal II (PC)
The Silent Hill trilogy (PS 1 and 2)
The complete Resident Evil Collection (numerous systems)
Diablo II (PC)

I think that should keep him busy for a while. Of course, if he gets cold feet someone could always chain him to a sofa and make him watch volunteers play the games in his living room....

Or am I being too meany nastums? :evilgrin:

On edit: :wtf: is a "tilogy"?

Also: His name is Tristan??? OMG he has disgraced the name of one of my cats!

2. Ok the guy has no sense of humor
And Legend of Zelda: Windwaker is a Kick-Ass game. Bad summary be put out though. Pathetic to critisize a game with an "E" rating. His head would have exploded like Rayden's old fatality if he saw Mortal Kombat. Pussy

4. Actually I would pay to see the look on his face
Edited on Thu Sep-04-03 06:00 AM by Solon
watching Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, especially when one of the "Swordsman" impales somebody. This guy needs to get out more, I swear.

ON EDIT: One PM seeing him frothing at the mouth, turns to another and says: "Hey man, you think that mag has the preview for the Conker sequel in it?" PS: I LOVE British Video Games, funny as hell!
