Serial killers are good at killing. Hence they are good.

Hence, they die young?

[Megaman]

Or get sent to life in prison

During which time they get stabbed by some dude who made a shiv out of a bar of soap. Leaves a nice, clean wound.

Looks like he won't have to wash his wounds! Yuk yuk yuk yuk. *rim-shot*

Damn this thread blew up.  Anyway, no, this game won't be on Fox news, any more than DF will be on Fox news.  It's not in the major media's line of sight, even if it is the kind of thing they'd blow up over.

I doubt Fox news can even understand roguelikes.

Well, you can always imagine that at some point some concerned ill informed parent will make a big deal out of this.

[Hugehead]

Has anyone made a fuss over DF? It's pretty much the same thing but doesn't advetise that it is a game with lots of bloody giblets.

Nah. The overlap between those who can actually understand violence in a text-based game and those who would blow up about violent games is practically nonexistent.

Realisticly, the media only does things like this to move their personal political agenda forward. But left or right, no media group can ever hope to do anything to the internet. Not only would they fail to get moralist/offensiveist crowds riled up, but no hope of legislation exists with video game controversy in any case. The best they can hope for is to batter retailers into pulling the product from shelves, and no shelves exist here. Without being able to scornfully say things like "Players are encouraged to graphicly and violently kill people in the game, an action that is responded to by a vibration meant to positively enforce the behavior in the future." and "Shows the world from the eyes of a psycopath, and nudges players to act out the role." or "Now I haven't played this near pornographic filth, but [Contrived argument]" or even "The children shouldn't be exposed to this kind of behavior."; they have nothing to go on for their slow news days.

I'm probably going to assassinate political leaders to manipulate political conditions within my own city.

Try folding a piece of paper, design your folds to leave the paper with a acute angle instead of the square 90o angles. Notice that you cannot fold any piece of paper more than 7 times, weird but true. You will also notice that as the folds add up, the paper becomes very hard, like wood almost.

Now you can rub some soap on it leaves a clean wound?

I used to open beer bottle with the bag they came in as a little trick. I would fold the bag up until it became very hard, then use it to pry the bottlecap off just the same way as you can use a lighter to pry off a bottlecap.

Learnt that in HMSS...

Welll.... The whole media thing.... Did anyone play the torture game over at NG? That made the news. As did NG, as they continuesly said it was bad for your health and will kill your Kid's in their sleep.

[Rilder]

It's not my thing (I like playing the hero) but hey, interesting idea.

You can be a hero! See all these civilians, they are sinners, vile sinners possessed by evil, you must "cleanse" them so that they may get up to "heaven", if you do, you will become a hero in the eyes of the "Lord".
