Escapist News Wrap: Porn on Xbox Live and Murdering Kittens

Porn on Xbox Live and Murdering Kittens

This week, a Steam Greenlight marketing campaign involving kittens goes awkwardly awry, and a controversial "Gun Printing" project gets shut down. Also, we're just as surprised as you are that Cliff Bleszinksi is taking a break from making games.

about half of this felt like speculation

 

[yngi]

Still good but Maybe i read a book later

Wasn't there a peanut butter commercial that explains who Aaron Burr is?

 

[Aaron Sylvester]

Damn that Dead or Alive girl for instantly grabbing my attention to the news headline. Crafty buggers -_-

Anyway, porn on XBox? About damn time.

This can only help bridge the gap between PC's and consoles, which is a good thing. Pretty neat how IE can be completely disabled if the parent/guardian sets it on child-friendly mode

But I have a question, will that mean XBox will be able to play flash/java browser games? Because if it can, it would give consoler-owners access to a whole ocean of free games that they couldn't access before without having a PC.

Read a book? Sounds like counter advertising.

I'll just pretend you said Raymond Burr. I'm pretty sure Old Ironsides is the only colonial America reference I need. Constitutioned!

Don't know who Ironside was? Read a boo...who am I kidding. Google it.

Wasn't there a peanut butter commercial that explains who Aaron Burr is?

Yup!


And I will always link Aaron Burr to that commercial.

 

[gardian06]

why is Leisure Suit Larry used as clips for "porn on Xbox" section? what is that the most "adult" game you could think of? I mean you could have gone all Team Ninja and just use DoA:Volleyball.

also "read a book" this is called the internet, and you might need to specify because you could have meant either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Burr,_Sr. or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Burr though you probably meant the second journalism should also entail accuracy without potential confusion.

Please don't give Ubisoft such ideas, I could hear their pens writing it down from here. Well at least it will be funny.

aah porn on xbox live, the time that little jimmy had to look for crusty vhs tapes in a suitcase is gone, now he has to know his daddy's xbox live account
But with all the different ways to get access to smut already available i dont think it will make a populair feature.

Wait, if that happened and Hamilton got Antarctica, wouldn't this mean hordes of shock penguins? I don't care how great Connor is, he could not win against such doom.

 

[Scentedwiind]

I have to admit. I had a historygasm when he mentioned Aaron Burr. My degree shall not be in vain!

 

[Jfswift]

In 1804, the last full year of his single term as Vice President, Burr killed his political rival Alexander Hamilton in a duel. (excerpt from wikipedia).

That's crazy stuff there.

 

[TheOrb]

Oh, like I'm supposed to know the 3rd VICE President (not the real president, but the vice president) of the United States.

 

[Shadow-Fox]

I don't know who Aaron Burr is.
So following your advice I read a book.
Now I'm more familiar with the String-theory and its implications on time travel in a universe where Einsteins theory of relativity is widely accepted. But I still don't know who Aaron Burr is.
What did I do wrong and why do you give such unprecise and unhelpful advice?

 

[Gilhelmi]

Long Live King Washington!!

Escapist: Mocking the gaming industry's overly sexual depiction of women via stories marketed with overly sexual images of women.

At least if you had mentioned DoA or Team Ninja, but nope. Just pixelated tits to make us click.

Right now gun printing has the same legal status as other homemade firearms. Because you can purchase firearms, the police in the US don't care if you make them, as long as you're legally allowed to purchase firearms.

I think he meant a history book on the United States early 1800's period.

But all he said was "read a book", and then there a are two people in history with that name as well. yes only one of them has a connection to Hamalton, but accuracy in reporting, and all.
