The World War II games unsettled me a bit, being an American and living in Japan I guess it bothered me. I let it slide though, it was almost 60-years-ago, time to move on. I have recently seen games based on the Gulf war and Vietnam though and I am really bothered by it. I hear 16-year-old kids complaining that the grass in the game doesn`t protect you from bullets and I think about my veitnam veteran freinds who would agree, have scars to prove it and freinds of theirs who didn`t come home because of it. Call me a stick in the mud but I just find it in poor taste reliving such recent past conflicts on my computer.
^ These were his points, and I see nothing about "beating someone up".

Once someone called him a "pansie" and a "b1tch", things changed.

I can see where you guys may think these games have bad taste, but I do not see that myself. Like hitman said, in a free economy people can and will produce what they may. It may step on a few peoples toes, but what doesn't? If it sells they will produce more.

I am a lot of things but a pansie is not one of them, if your measure of a man is how long you sit behind a computer shooting things on a screen than I guess I ain`t much of one. I do find however that I only seem to get called things like that from disembodied text under assumed screen-names, never to my face so you do the figuring scooter.
This is what i was referring to. I dont think i've ever had words on or off the forum TMS, we seem to fall on the same side of most of these battle threads but this is just E-toughguy. I mean why not just say " Say that to my face beotch". I'm sorry if two mods disagree with me.. i dont think this kinda of thing is becoming of a mod. Arent you guys suppose to be the example here? I may have some bone-head opinions but i try not to make things personal, or make any sort of reference to what someone might say to my face.
