EA Calls On Fox For Correction

Did you honestly just say that was elicit? Elicit is a penis entering a vagina, not a naked back or a butt.

You're also leaving out the part where you are "assuming" they are having sex based on what? I know they don't show any actual vagina or breasts. It's all implied. So you're over stating the sex part, because it is your interpretation of what is going on. That is not the doing of the game creators, that is happening in your head based on past experiences. You dirty dirty boy.

lol. :p

Elicit is a transitive verb meaning to draw out. It is used to describe the direct object, that being the sexual acts. I guess "erotic" would be a more appropriate term if you want to be that critical. You know exactly what is going on in the scenes and you can see most of it. You don't need to see clits and nipple braille to know what is happening.
 
Only good thing about Fox News is Red Eye, that show is hillariously stupid and enjoyable.

Oh yeah they have hot anchors and reporters. Julie Banderas? Anna Gilligan? Courtney Friel?
 
Funny stuff. I think you've all touched on all the important issues so far.

I just hope that this'll get FOX to publicly admit their mistake so people stop buying this crap (as in exaggerated comments, not the game). I guarantee you parents who know nothing about the game believed that load of shit, especially since other sources, like websites and blogs also made a big deal about this issue which takes place in an "M" rated game.

If they made a sex simulator game and made it for ADULTS ONLY would parents still complain? Freaking idiots. Read the damn label, ratings and don't buy your kids these games if they offend you so much...or at least make an EDUCATED decision.
 
mac users think they're better than everyone else.... if they didn't think that way, they'd be using a PC... rawr.... lol

elitist scum!

brought to you by the fat dude from those mac comercials...

The correct adjective is "illicit", although those scenes aren't even close to showing unlawful acts. Then again, I'm not an expert in intergalactic law.

You could have said "explicit", but as you just described, the act is implied, ergo "implicit".

Well, look at that: My monitor just ran out of double quotes.

er.. no edit button.

I guess there are actually 6 different sex scenes in the game, but these are the only ones available on Youtube.

Throughout the game your character builds a relationship with one of those three and in the end you can only get one. There's no super secret technique to getting all six sex scenes unless you literally play through the game six times. You can't even just load a previous save because your choices that you make during conversation all throughout the game all the way from the point each character is introduced affects who you end up with (if anyone). There are three people possible, and your character can be either male or female, so if you were to play through the entire game six times you could get three scenes on the male side and three scenes from the female side.

There is actually one more scene where sex is implied (although incredibly vague) if you do the right side quest and choose the right options.

I guess you think CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, etc. is real news huh? OMG, talk abotu nothing but lies and stuff made up just to generate attention. They are 100,000 times worst than Fox News. The number of viewers proves it. CNN, etc. are almost devoid of any viewrs at all according the numbers. Just a bunch of left wing lunatics that love Al-Qaeda and hate America.

This... I laughed till I cried...

The only agenda most media has is to make $$$... that is why they sensationalize everything... however, there is a fine line between sensationalizing and outright lies, biased lies, and damned lies... and Fox sits on the wrong side of that line.

Reading Time or watching CNN I can see how they sensationalize and exaggerate things that have no political bearings, simply to sell their news and fund themselves off of readers... while when I see Fox, I see nothing but an extended alti-liberty smear campaign funded by interest groups with agendas that are dubious to say the least. Fox's oppinion is "if you're not with them, you're against them" ... it is NOT a News platform, a true News platform seeks truth above all. And while CNN and TIME publish truth, they exaggerate it to a point where it becomes a commodity. While Fox takes whatever it likes, twists it to its agenda, and regurgitates un-checked, un-proven, known-to-be-false garbage.

From declaring Obama a muslim, to their fight against net neutrality, and long held radical neo-con dogma regarding ALL entertainment deemed un-christian ... EVERYONE should know better than to believe Fox... but then again, the National Inquirer still sells, regardless.
 
lulz, the Obama muslim thing was originally reported in some magazine article, then picked up by a Clinton campaign staffer which reported it to the media. Every single news outlet was playing the story 24/7. Then a day or two later, some CNN desk jockey looked into the matter and found out it was false. Then CNN acted like nothing happened and they were the saviors for "finding out the truth" after they had already regarded the story as true just hours earlier. :p

CNN desk jockey?...how about responsible fact-checking journalist...and actually, the story emanated from Clinton campaign staffers who were shortly fired and reported as a lie being spread. While Fox was beaming it 24/7 without mentioning that other, you know... news channels that fact check things, had disproven the story before it even hit the screen.
 
CNN - The most trusted name in news. We'll report it just like the rest to try to keep up in the ratings, then reverse our statements like they never even happened and we were correct all along. :p
 
You have no shred of evidence Fox ever claimed Obama was a muslim. In fact, they have reported many times that that lie spread by other liberals, was wrong.

You say Fox does nothing but lie and then say you watch CNN, etc. roflmao, that's funny righ there. Like CNN, NewYork times, etc. is nothing but lies and fabrication of stories to get attention. They are funded by people like George Soros, which is THE biggest Anti-American idiot on the planet.

Most media are ran by left wing lunatic nutjobs. They have ran so many lies and fabricated stories and never ever once made a correction when it was pointed out, and you have the nerve to whine about something Fox got wrong? Talk about someone laughing till it hurts.

You have Fox mixed up with CNN, MSNBC and so on. They are the ones that go onto these left wing nutjob websites like Daily Kos, pull their stories almost word for word and never check the source or accuracy. CNN runs every story without fact checking anything and then get caught all the time.

If CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, etc. had their way, we would be behind and iron curtain under moronic communist rule.

The Liberals like the Clintons are the ones spreading the lies about Obama, then they say ooops, we messed up, sorry. It's like saying something in court to the jury and then having the judge tell everyone to ignore that comment. You KNOW they won't ignore, it will always be in the back of their minds. Same way with the Nazi Clintons. They know it will be in the back of people's minds.

8 year old children could run a better news channel than CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, etc. It's why their ratings are so low you need a magnifying glass to see em.

You are living proof that satire writes itself.

Anyways... This "news" piece doesn't surprise me. Fox has never been a fan of truth and is never on the side of gamers. Any piece that can fuel the terrified soccer moms need to be glued to the tv for fox to update them on the next danger goes up. I couldn't have been more than 8 hours after the Virginia Tech incident when jackass thompson and fake phil went straight to blaming video games. I feel like if they should apologize for any anti-gamer piece it should be that one.

EA is right, they are losing viewers to games and they are scared. I'll wait for the day they go under.
 
This is libel, plain and simple, but what else can you expect on the most sensationalistic of all news channels? Which btw is saying a lot considering that they're all crap.
 
I got so pissed when I heard that dumb bitch say:

"Darlin', I gotta go with the research. And the research says there’s a new study out of the University of Maryland right now that says that boys that play video games cannot tell the difference between what they’re seeing in the video game and the real world if they don't have a real experience."

I hope that bitch dies in a fire.
 
Almost forgot...

The actual study:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1421-2005Feb5.html

Some excerpt's (I love google btw)

"Killen and fellow researchers at the University of Maryland's Human Development Department interviewed more than 100 college students, whose average age was 19, for 45 minutes each. They showed them images from a series of imaginary video games, each one modeled on a familiar genre in the gaming industry."

One from one of the interviews

"The game doesn't make people violent -- it's just a game," said one subject, a 19-year-old woman, in a confidential interview with Killen's research team. "If they're violent, it's something wrong with them."
 
Heh, 12 out of 14 post ignored what I said, I'd have to say my % was pretty on the dot.
 
wow is that ever an old article. :p If you want the truth, listen to soldiers on the ground. That's where I get all my info from. The government purposely puts out false info to the news outlets to throw off the enemy so they can carry out their missions successfully. For the most part, it has seemed to be working. We're seeing the lowest numbers of casualties in years, sunni's and shiite's are actually working together now, and many iraqi's are standing up and wanting to be trained and serve in their new government. Hopefully we'll see our service members coming home in the upcoming months to a few short years.

So the game world has been ablaze with indignation since the Fox News program “The Live Desk With Martha MacCallum” said on Monday that Mass Effect, one of the most critically praised games of 2007, contains frontal nudity and explicit depictions of sexual activity.

Mass Effect, a science fiction game, includes a complicated romantic subplot that is no more risqué in its plot or graphic in its depiction than evening network television.

Asked on the air by Geoff Keighley of Spike TV whether she had ever played the game, Ms. Lawrence laughed and said, “No.”

In an interview on Friday, Ms. Lawrence said that since the controversy over her remarks erupted she had watched someone play the game for about two and a half hours. “I recognize that I misspoke,” she said. “I really regret saying that, and now that I’ve seen the game and seen the sex scenes it’s kind of a joke.

“Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it’s like pornography,” she added. “But it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.”

Hah. Let's see if someone from EA will appear on the show to set things straight now.
 
I wish I could edit stuff here.

Anyway I wanted to add that whoever thinks the people at FOX actually do any research or fact-check their claims has to be in denial. They simply read some random article online (probably a blog) which claimed that the game was ponographic, marketted to children and that you could literally choose how you wanted to screw the alien chick and they immediately talked about that on the air without EVER SEEING OR PLAYING THE GAME. That is completely retarded and the people involved should not have jobs. You can't just make those claims on-air when you have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
