+1 respect or Valve

It's too tempting to say I'm offended.

I can't say I blame them.

Really, Breen Malmberg, extreme blasphemy?

It's a nice gesture to offer the refund, but seriously? You couldn't go on playing the game? I'm assuming this guy would have no problem with the killing soon to follow.

On the upside, it looks like both the left and right were offended by this game. Ken Levine said his Tea Party relatives thought he was portraying them poorly, and some other relatives thought he was demonizing the labor movement.
Me? I was just impressed by a great game and a great story.

Gyaah! Can't read that article for fear of the spoilers mentioned in paragraph 1 XD

On the topic though... I recall hearing of a game that required the player to commit torture (digitally) in order to proceed with the story. That was a while back now. I think it have come up again since then as well, though I don't follow things as much as I'd like. At any rate, that would offend me. Would it make me want to return a game incomplete? Maybe. Context is everything. Games are, or can be, art and good art can and should offend when it's necessary to make a point.

Of course, good customer service can and should make refunds when it's necessary to mollify an upset customer. I guess I'll develop a more concrete opinion on this instance after I've played the game.

Don't know. I didn't find it to be as horribly offensive as it's made out to be. Controversial? Yes.

You can read my review and you can see my whole opinion on the whole thing.

Anyways, I think this is really stupid, and another reason for people who hate Christians to continue hating Christians, and for others to start hating as well.

Alright, enough with Malmberg. You guys want to hear am actually good analysis of Bioshock Infinite from a christian perspective?

I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he breaks it down and analyzes it on a real level and how it as an art connects with him, rather than some superficial "I don't want to commit extreme blasphemy" nonsense. Give it a read. What do you think about it?

I think the article needed a swearing disclaimer, luckily my kids were reading over my shoulder. Good read other than that.

Will have to wait until I'm able to finish it :/

Kotaku for you.

I try to avoid comments on sites like these, but you had to just bring it up and I just had to just check them out...

...I don't have enough coffee for that level of stupid.

I'm going to need something aside from coffee in this coffee for that. XD

Check that trash bin over there. I think there's a bottle of wine you could reappropriate.

alerady odone llllolol!!1
