    It's so sad that there is all of this influence, where you can sit for hours and hours and see how different techniques work, and when to use them...what's that? Games just have you pressing X, and the interwebs has detailed instructions on how to commit any number of crimes!? Well we'd best target them next!

    Okay, let me do a quick calculation here.


    (random violence... plus gore... minus corrupt cops... multiplied by dead hookers... lap dance prime factor... coitus percentage in relation to RPG usage... aliquot sequence of period 2*drugs to the power of teh gays...)


    Done! The next GTA will retail for approximately £285.99.

    I have one problem with this, besides the obvious "OMFG gov't impinging on my right to see bloody stumps and gory head wounds with a 5% tax!" and the larger arse-ended glow-in-the-dark issue "learn to fucking parent your godamned demon spawn".


    Define "Violent".

    @Power_Wrist:


    Isn't it incredibly obvious what is meant by ''violent''?

    @MemoDLSG: Deliciously violent! I grew up on that show, and I haven't killed a man yet. I haven't even hit anyone in the face with a scalding hot frying pan, or slammed someone's fingers in a door, or loaded their mouths full of dynamite or anything.


    People are way too damn sensitive these days for no good reason. Anything is violent if you want it to be.

    I think this knife crimes adviser needs to stick to giving advice about shit he knows about... like fucking knife crimes instead of video games and rap music.
