It will feature, according to video game news sites, beheadings with hatchets, bludgeonings with baseball bats, the jamming of syringes into eyeballs, cutting opponents’ testicles off, and “environtmental [sic] kills” in which common objects in the field of vision, such as electrical cords to strangle victims.

Sounds like it'll be a damn good game for sure!

The only possible way this could mean anything is if they actually gave away the Wii's with a copy of Manhunt 2.

****, the Sega had Sonic on it, but also had Mortal Kombat. Nintendo had Mario, and Bruce Lee.
Hell the PC he used to write that letter is capable of playing a ****load of violent games, so he shouldn't use it by his own standards.

 

[Jintor]

That site looks like piles of shit covered in stupidity.

 

[Sloth]

What the hell is wrong with this guy - he should just crawl into a hole and stop ranting...

 

[Vegeta897]

I still can't believe how ignorant some people can be. It's seriously ridiculous how many adults could be so misled compared to a huge population of gamers of all ages who would actually know what the **** they are talking about, because, you know, they actually play the games and know how shit works.

Jack Thompson is simply someone who has taken advantage of ignorant people, with the help of the media.

That's all he is, and the more he does it the better he is supported, and there is just this vicious cycle. He can make almost any ridiculous statement and things just spin faster.

Will there ever be an end to this? Perhaps we need figures in the gaming community to stand up publically and spread the truth to counter Jack's lies.

How the hell did he put the 2 together like that.

So he's saying they shouldn't give away Wiis because you can buy Manhunt 2 for it (which you can't, the game is banned)? That's like saying you shouldn't give away picture frames because you could buy a photo of goatse to put in it.

 

[VirusType2]

EDIT" looks like MultiVaC beat me to it by the time I finished typing.


The most rediculous shit EVER. Jack Thompson is a ****-tard. That is a ****ing retard. Literally, he is retarded.

I'll tell you why right here. Does anyone not see this?

If, for example, Wendy's decides they will give away 1 DVD player to a lucky customer, does that matter that this DVD player can play adult rated material on it? Of course it wouldn't. If they were giving away a TV does it matter that it can display adult material? What about a music player. An MP3 player or home stereo. So what if it can play mature rated music........?

The very same logic can be applied to the Nintendo Wii.

Despite the fact that the game was banned from the Wii anyway, and won't be coming out unfortunately. I would be willing to bet that more adults play video games than children.



I say unfortunately, because this sounds like it would be the most incredible experience.

Instead of holding in one?s hand the typical game controller, the player holds motion capture devices, so that by moving one?s hands and limbs one is actually acting out with one?s own body the violent behavior.

One pro-video game industry site is referring to Manhunt 2 as a ?true murder simulator? when played on Wii.

Doesn't that sound cool?

I would buy a Wii just to play this game if it was actually coming out for it.



Anyway, read the comments on the MAVAV page, and you will see Jack Thompson and MAVAV get owned big time.

 

[Vegeta897]

Has Jack ever been to an arcade? What about all the games where you use plastic guns to shoot the screen? Does he think those are murder simulator training units as well?

good point. little jimmy with his red-ryder BB gun is training to become a hit man?! ****ing give me a break. Better not let him have a sling-shot, or shoot spit balls, these are murder training tools.

The entire evolution of humans is founded on .. murdering prey for food.

This world is cold. Yes, protect your child's innocence, but don't shelter them too much or they will get teased and bullied all their life until they decide to snap and wear a trench-coat and a rifle to school. It's the sheltered kids that turn into psychos.

 

[Asus]

Aw, come on! Jackass Thompson should give it a rest. In fact, he should take a nap on a highway.

Anyway, read the comments on the MAVAV page, and you will see Jack Thompson and MAVAV get owned big time.

Why would MAVAV get owned?

 

[Dan]

You guys do realize that the article is a joke and MAVAV is just to get people like you riled up? I think a similar article from them was on the forum a few years ago.

Even if you didn't know that the site was phony, do you really think that mothers could make a web page that slick and photoshop pictures like that or know what a clan is.

 

[Asus]

Why is it a joke? A lot of other places are reporting the same email although they are pointing to gamepolitics.com, not mavav.org.

that the site was phony

Exactly.
Even in firefox if you type mavav in the google search bar above it comes up with "mavav hoax" as a suggestion.

That is the best analogy I have ever heard
Congratulations.

Hmm... That's funny. You know, it's weird that anybody that knows what they are talking about when the do a rant is never on the front page of a news article. That's what the media wants. Drama. It gets them more sales and views. The dumber the article sounds the more "Wtf? I gotta read this..." the readers will be. That's the thing in this generation. Feed the bullshit in the world, and let the good people filter out into nothingness... Bitches. -.-

Not really if you ask me. There are many killings, robberies, ect on city streets every single day by people who grew up in ghettos or on the streets. Much more than by those who grew up in an overly sheltered life.
