Revenge of the Zombie

Well, I do love me some Splatterhouse. This just sweetens the deal. Looks like the uncensored version as well, which I only ever saw in an arcade (and which was subsequently pulled from said arcade after a month).

Hopefully, what we’re looking at in this new Splatterhouse is gameplay similar to God of War, but with B-movie horror trappings. I look forward to pulping zombies with a 2X4 very soon.

The horror...

Oh snap!

I'd be lost without this chart.

So I guess someone is attempting to stir up trouble. Over a five-year old game. That was never released in the West (at least not legally). Now, as my boundless anger simmers over, here are my thoughts, in no particular order or coherence:

1. Seriously CNN, is there really an epidemic of American kids downloading an ancient (in Internet years) game in another language that was only intended for adults in the first place? With all the actual rape going on in the world, not to mention wars, murders, genocide, human trafficking, and all manner of atrocities, you’re freaking out over this? You guys need a hobby.
2. Freedom of Speech. Remember that? It applies to things you don’t like too. If you are suggesting it shouldn’t, then I would like you and everyone else to shut up and stop talking.
   

   Lighten up, Francis.

3. Is this a game? From what I’ve seen, not really. Is it in poor taste? Most definitely. Would I want to associate with people who would play this? Hell no, the idea creeps me out. But no one is being forced to play this game. People are adults, and you should trust them to make their own decisions. You can’t legislate morality, only ethics.
4. This is a textbook Hasty Generalization Fallacy. Never allow your emotional reaction to dictate your response, use your rational mind instead. You’ll end up looking like less of an idiot in the long run. And honestly, the faulty logic offends me more than the racism or the game itself.
   

   Use your head.

5. Rape and child abuse are very real problems. But what is being suggested, by banning games and literature that portray these things, is quite ludicrous; it amounts to giving human rights to people who don’t exist. There is a word for this sort of behaviour, you know.
6. Mr. Nogami Takeshi – that was beautiful. I don’t agree with everything you said, but that was a wonderful “do shut up, sir” letter. And the Biblical quote? Priceless. Far too many people like to use religion as a stick to beat others about the head; I like it when it’s used to put hypocrites in their place.

So, in summary: Game? – tasteless. Outrage? – manufactured. Shit given? – Negative.

Never listen to other people.

Hypocrisy made paramount
Paranoia the law
