I can't really think of any example of video games in the news which would cause me to cringe. Maybe I'm just made of sterner stuff.
The only situation I could imagine would be in a week of nothing happening anywhere in the world, at all, my bedroom bedroom being infiltrated the world's media & the story being about me cracking one off as Niko gets a lap dance or uses a prostitute in GTA 4.
Breaking news. British man, 28, pleasures himself to Rockstar's crime & sex simulator. Film at 11.
Watching video game programmes can be pretty cringe-worthy though.
The presenters are usually trendy geeks with a terrible sense of hurmour & poor presenting skills, who make you feel bad about playing the same games they do.
Also when they show an example of them playing the game, they're usually really bad at the game. It's even worse when they're playing a game that you're familiar with & you can tell how crap they are & that they're only using one button.
Plus when you see an adult reviewer playing a blatant kids game, (or just a game which is poor) & pretending like it's really fun, you die a little inside.
