FunkyJ commented on Bionic Commando Devs Fear The Japanese

"I wish more devs were forthcoming and honest like this. When you hear a publisher say they want to remove a fundamental aspect of a game or the world that game belongs in, simply to make it rated E for everyone, no matter how hard you want to punch them in the face, you have to face facts that they're paying the money for you to make the game. On the plus side, when it turns out shit like you've said all along, you can be happy that you were right, at least..."

FunkyJ commented on EA's Steve Schnur Explains The Hype Behind The Madden Soundtrack

"I don't play Madden (how is it football if no one ever kicks it?) but I have discovered quite a few bands through the FIFA franchise - Scissor Sisters, Bloc Party, Maximo Park, and more. And although I'm a fan of coldcut anyway, seeing people say in the Youtube comments to >True Skool about people wanting to play FIFA Street 2 indicates that EA's policy as it relates to games ans music is working to some extent."

FunkyJ commented on Zero Punctuation Takes On Ctrl+Alt+Del

"@graddy: So, if an Actor plays roles in a movies or plays that are violent, is there any concern about them becoming violent in real life? Because, after all, the actor gets rewarded for violence."

FunkyJ commented on Treyarch Offers Apologies To Gearbox Software

"So... It turns out it wasn't Treyarch in the first place, and moreover, Treyarch actually have the balls to stand up to the publisher and say they disagree with the sentiments and apologise to Gearbox... So, do you reckon we are we going to see apologies from the following people for their attacks on Treyarch in the first post??? @Tob3z: @Raziel Dune: @wild homes is weathering cephalopod trouble!: @silkysm00th: @Lackshmana: @TOWER_JUNKIE: Etcetera ..."

FunkyJ commented on Virginia Tech Grad Ponders Game About Shootings' Aftermath

"@badasscat: But people have said this about all media. People boycotted and rioted about plays that broke the 4th wall and directly addressed the audience. It was by pushing at the boundaries of what people wanted and expected that advancements in these media were made. @kidnicky: People scream bloody murder when a politician wants to restrict games in some way, and yet here you stand and say "no, games are meant to be this way, don't make them like that, that's pretentious"... Can't you see you're doing the same thing politicians do? You're using your limited view of what games should be and who they should appeal to restrict how games should be built. I think it's wonderful someone in the industry is making a pitch for this type of thing."

FunkyJ commented on Proof That Soviet Scientists Kept Dog Head Alive on an "Autojector"

"I don't see why people are calling this nasty. I mean, yes, it is nasty, but it's no more nor less nasty than any other animal experimentation. Pavlov's dog experiment has got to be one of the cruelest experiments ever, yet helped us to learn more about physiology than we knew before."

FunkyJ commented on EA: UK Game Ratings Changes Spell Delays

"Australia has a ratings board that plays games from start to finish and not ONCE has a game been delayed because of this process. The real reason Europe is always delayed is CERT. With 8 different languages to test, Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo Europe have 5-8 times the work of the US / Japanese CERT division."
