Sadly, that's about all this sex hack could arouse. Unless there's some lung-fondling fetish of which I'm unaware.SnipErlite said:
News Report on Kinect Sex Hack Could Arouse Parents' Fears

That will be the Fox News story released in conjunction with the release of Diablo IIIMr. Omega said:
OT: These kids today...when I was 5 we didn't have no fancy fangled internet. Nor did we have the means to really hack SNES/ NES games unless we were obscenely rich which I wasn't.
Anyway, this really is ridiculous. Of all the things Fox News could be reporting they're choice is to Frankenstein together this ridiculous load of garbage. To be honest though, I'd rather laugh in disgust at this than vomit in fear from stories about the Korean peninsula.
Bless you, at least there's someone with sense on this site. I saw the video, and wow. They failed to mention that the game has been banned from sale or development, and they stated that it would somehow be available on the Xbox Live marketplace. And on top of all that, they thought that the kid would be smart enough to find the game and be able to download it with their parent's credit card. They end the video by stating that, "OMG we're going to have to supervise our children". One could find porn on the internet in a matter of seconds and yet these parents are worried about an illegal sex game that is and won't be released? I blame the dumbass family more than I blame Fox News affiliate.x434343 said:
They've begun to resort to it?Mr. Omega said:
That's been Fox News' intentional strategy for years. They take something that their target either knows little about or doesn't like, and make something up about it. They get more money from those stories being watched than they could ever lose for slander.

I sometimes get irritated by this sort of thing, because my family have an irritating tendancy to bring this sort of thing up occasionally. (Luckily, my Family aren't affected by fox news, which seems to be a major contender in this area.) Fortunately I am intelligent enough to answer their queries. They usually just leave it at that.Interesting, however it seems the mainstream media is always well behind the tech curve, trends, and many forms of entertainment in general. Pretty big screw up, but then again it's nothing we haven't seen before from a lot of differant sources. I can't think of many examples in my lifetime when any televised news network has been on the money with things like video games.
That said, this is bad all around. On one hand a good part of the arguement seems to be based around the idea that video game consoles are exclusively for children to use. The idea of a single device that can entertain both children and adults with wildly divergent content seems to be an anathema to a lot of people. Above and beyond all the mistakes this is a problem because people do not see a video game console as a device like a VCR or DVD player that can play both the latest Disney flick, or hard core pornography.
I suspect Microsoft is going to make the case worse, truthfully I think the anti-porn crusades by the various gaming companies and hardware manufacturers both hold back the development of the medium, and also make it look like the companies have something to hide and are running damage control. With Microsoft running damage control over sex game hacks, it's hard for them to simply turn around and say "Yep, we have adult entertainment options for it. Live with it. If you don't want them, don't buy them".
Despite how it might seem at times, I'm not all that into porn (that isn't why I defend it). I simply think that half the problem is that the industry hurts itself by taking a defensive stance rather than engaging on a full freedom of speech front and both defending and supporting adult entertainment options, both in terms of sex and graphic violence, a lot more than you see going on right now. Truthfully I think one of the big reasons why we saw the case in the US going before The Supreme Court is simply that the gaming industry never seriously rallied to it's own defense until it was up against a wall, never mind going on the offense both privatly and politically.

You know, I would go on a rant about how average news stations are stupid about video games, how John Funk used the word "Arouse" in this news post, and how the grandfather has common sense, but I feel that would be average and cliche for a person on the internet, so I leave you with this entertaining cover parody of a game series that I've recently been playing:
Why doesn't microsoft sue fox news for slander? why doesn't ANYONE ever sue fox news for slander?

As soon as I saw fox news -_-
The report was grossly inaccurate I love how the woman says because there's a hacked sex game on the pc she has to watch him while hes using the kinect, the rating labels are there for a reason I doubt the kids gonna finish a bicycle race or something on kinectimals and then that furry thing says its time for the next game and *porn music* neither the mother or the reporter had any idea what they're talking about.

Hey, look, it's almost the exact reason why I didn't get San Andreas for Christmas when it came out. Except back then, it was the "Hot coffee" "scandal".
That game looks so beautiful...if only it was made...V8 Ninja said:You know, I would go on a rant about how average news stations are stupid about video games, how John Funk used the word "Arouse" in this news post, and how the grandfather has common sense, but I feel that would be average and cliche for a person on the internet, so I leave you with this entertaining cover parody of a game series that I've recently been playing:
OT: Basically, Fox News is saying...
BUGS BUN-
I mean, uh...
MICROSOFT KINECT MADE ME CRY!
Christ, parents out there are giving their children CoD and Halolz and GTA: Death to Civilians, and as soon as this, an unsellable hack comes up, they have an aneurysm over it.
Bravo Fox News, next time, try to put the square block in the square hole.
*Popcorn*
Another Fox News news story saying video games are trying to destroy our children, somehow I don't see Nickelodeon advertising a 3d sex game on their channel.
Although, I'm surprised the quote from the grandfather made it into the article

But that means... that means... parents have to... have to... parent their children? pay attention to their kids? nonsense!

Done for laughs or not, it kills any chance of it being taken seriously stone dead.
So it's ok for Disney to sell sex to minors but not video games, gotcha Fox News. As soon as I saw Fox News in the title I knew the thread was going to be about lies and misinformation, as well as the diehard republicans apologizing for the bought out media.
