An odd first thread for a newb to games and gamespot........oh well. Rape is basically like putting porn in video games, and, from a business perspective,whenever that happens, games rarely receive "positive" reception. Rape is just something that just.......can't be done well. If you wanna argue that murder is just as bad as rape or even worse feel free, but to me rape just isn't something I wanna see when I play a video game. I don't wanna watch some sick freak get his rocks off by raping some girl. I'd rather be taking out the covenant or taking out the locust queen. Rape isn't in games because people don't want it in games.

I thought about that actually. But I dont' know if ^David is talking about that or like full blown rape scenes. Lol. But even if they do as you said, have you seen how much heat Tomb Raider is taking for the recent supposed "rape scene" where they dont' even rape Lara but just "attempt" to rapeher? And it wasn't even confirmed! It was just a rumor that lit up like up and burned like wildire from game of thrones!Idk. Rape in video games is just a sensitive topic right now I guess

So I recently purchased a bunch of books for programming beginners, like Programming for Dummies, Beginning C++, etc. I've started reading them but these books don't offer hands on experience or demonstrations. I've read a couple chapters, and also flipped ahead in the books, and none of them actually teach you how to write code. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get my feet wet and start learning how to ACTUALLY learn and write code?

So I went to open up my Skyrim (Xbox 360), and the goddamn disc is like fracturing away from the center! I've heard that this happens sometimes with certain Xbox cases, but I just wanted to do a quick poll and see if this happens a lot to other people too.

Yep. I wouldn't miss a small tank of goldfish

Haha

Depends if they're alive or not. juden41

Hahaha who buys a dead pet for a million dollars?

1/10. One of the worst things we as human beings can do is lose all hope and give into despair. And to help someone along that path is just as bad, if not worse. Not to mention your actually taking a life, which is wrong even in it's own right

If you know any, list em. Much appreciated :)

Thank you to all who participated! Lol hilarious responses, especially that dude with the pissed off cat sig haha god I love Gamespot's community. Best community around right here!!
