I’ll take the collectible mourning cds, I need too finish off my collection. I miss the 30 esrp cd, 3rd week edition and rumor has it if I don’t get it soon egomancer will sue my ass for all the pizza hut coupons in nevada, which is a lot, more than 50 transactions worth you get from using Station Exchange.

And speaking of freeman, I need a gameboy in the shape of the ps3 controller that will also take flight when I try and smash it with a sledge hammer.

Bawdy potty-mouth humor is accepted as long as it’s tasteful, haha tasteful sounds like more of a grey area, excellent. Good chance I may be joining the festivities as a full-fledged carny.

I’ve updated the guidelines to include the colorful (and tasteful) use of profanity. I wouldn’t want to discourage anyone from participating in our freak show.

Swearing is inextricably connected to video games, as many a hurled controller (or mouse) will attest to.

Yep. That’s why the PS3 controller was designed to come back to you when you throw it.

I am hereby adding in my $2 (in expired Pizza Hut coupons or collectible Mourning cd-roms) to the “Krones’ Artistic Freedom is for Sale” fund. Can I use Station Exchange to pay?

Allowing artistic use of profanity doesn’t mean you fuckers should take advantage of that. If we have to return to mocking others with “fag” and “retard”, would be dark times for all of us in the nonexistent gaming blog-o-sphere.

I’ll pitch in $2 for a “Buy Krones’ Artistic Freedom” fund.

Looks like I’m shit out of luck. I don’t conform for anyone unless you’re paying…

This is a good use of profanity…(thank you /.)

“Iwata said the new console is aimed at customers who hate clutter and find current games and the controllers used to play them to be confusing and difficult.”

[edit]But then I thought about some of the ‘fun’ I’ve had playing San Andreas lately. Hitting the correct shoulder button is an exercise in “Dammit!”. I keep hitting the L3 button by accident whenever I make a sharp turn. (Oh, brilliant design there, Sony. Put a button where I can accidently hit it a LOT.) Then I played that damn dancing level where the button shapes would fly by and I had to hit the right one. Yeah Sony, thanks for using heiroglyphics for your button labels.

Hey, I’m all for the “tasteful” use of colorful language. Swearing is inextricably connected to video games, as many a hurled controller (or mouse) will attest to. I guess I should have clarified it by saying “overly” profane. I’ll add that as an update this evening.

Let’s be honest, some of that stuff can be funny. Just because I don’t use it doesn’t mean I don’t find it funny.

To the above spammer… Ahem.

“Mach es dir selber, du verdammter Arschficker.”

That concludes my prepared remarks.
