Today we discuss a lawsuit incorrectly brought against Nintendo, a Senator who thinks theres a rape scene in Grand Theft Auto 4, and the hump day video.
Lol, that's cool. The random company fails at sueing. If someone is gonna sue for all the random internet music videos on the internet, that would ruin the world's economy.

It's a copyrighted character from the Rayman series so it won't be.
I do suggest we bring back Screwey. (See Cool Spot VGV.)

Why is it that politicians and lawyers do absolutely no research?

Government + games = BullShit and a lot of claims that have nothing to do with the game...any senator that calls foul on any game should get kicked in the bawls
I really like how she wants warning labels on video games. By the way, she's only a state senator meaning she only has power in Connecticut. But enough about that, I'm reminded of the Code Monkeys' episode where Nancy Reagan forced Gameavision to post warning labels on their games. It had something about being addictive or something that would relate it to drugs. It ended up boosting sales. Would be pretty funny if this actually would happen.
Snopes really needs to get a section up for video games, or at least post this urban legend of a rape scene in GTA4 somewhere. I mean where do they come up with this stuff. To the internet to find out!

anyone that touches the "games for killers" (my lame parody for 'games for windows') and say crap that it'll increase violence feels like they really want to get crap given to them. You're right Destin, Bullshit will come out of their mouth before they even start talking about this thing

I ripped on Sony yesterday, I figured today I'd take a shot at Microsoft. The letter also really seemed like they were trying to convince everyone of how great PC gaming is.

no, you ripped at PC gamers. i mean i could make stupid comments about how 360 or ps3 gamers and that would be just alike. sure making fun of sony for nintendo or microsoft for their mistakes but please don't attack the gamers. think about that most people coming to the site have pc's (some have macs *careface*) or they use their wiis (wich i doubt)

Man I love the picture of the river of bullshit flying out of that dumbshit conformi-I MEAN senators mouth. That company that sued Nintendo must have bought a year-long cruise first class seat on the phail boat.
This senator is more likely than not getting on the anti-game bandwagon because:
A: Its close to time for re-election for her.
B: There's some sort of problem going on in her state and she needs something to distract the public eye from it, so she brings up gaming violence. Our mayor did it here recently and shut up about it the next day.
C: She wants publicity purely for her own personal gratification...
There's always the off-chance she's just a moron, but her little hissy-fit will fade off like so many other's have.

True Romance was a great movie, but using the song "You're So Cool" seems really out of place for any video having to do with Mario.

Man people will do anything to get money and attention... and Craig's singing was okay(that's what It hought)but he killed the Pokemon theme song... DDDDAAAAMMMMNNNN YYYOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!
1) Those who have PCs know that they're a better gaming experience than consoles 90% of the time. I've been playing both consoles and PCs since I was 2 or 3 years old.
2) I hope that bill passes because the backlash against it will be so great that anyone who voted for it won't be re-elected and that might actually spur some change in our politics.

Mirco soft do more to support the PC focus on the xbox as much as the pc becuase they are both brilliant gaming paltforms and i wouldn't wnat to go into playing games on toasters.
Unlikely lines to hear in a TV show
And if you have an opinion on this news story, why not keep it to yourself.

I'm sorry i took a piss at Destin last video comment, i shouldn't used all those bad words my mom thaught me :).
I just was a little pissed at Microsoft and got annoyed that the ps3 should have to be pissed again on hard-news, to be honest i enjoy the show very much and keep up the good work, oh yeah and to all the pc gamers, USE UBUNTU!!! The system is a little different, doesn't play much games yet, but if everyone keeps using it maybe gamedevelepors will use that system to program games on, believe me Ubuntu is much better.

Americans.. or rather, american senators and politicians. WHY do they hate gaming so? Do they REALLY believe that games like GTA will turn you into a sociopath?
Hah, I'm glad our government and politicians aren't like the american ones.

why is destin so hostile against PC? PCgamers are the most hardcore gamers there is. i don't see 10000 people bring theyre 360s or ps3s together to sit for 3 days and nights. i'm not asking you to let the PC take a part in screwattack, but just leave it alone.

how do you like my e-bawls in your face?
Total BS
Video games have nothing to do with violence, and I'll kill anybody who disagrees!
Bullshit
There's no rape in GTA 4! Senetor gets the kick!
Awesome
The whole bunny thing was fucking hilarious. My favorite Hard News. Well any Hard News without Cheapy D is my favorite.
It be more Microsoft
It be more Microsoft inviting all PC users to crack all the new games that way we can play for free and still remember the good times. LOL
Silly Government
It's just like that Mass Effect argument. I love it when people make stuff up like this, it always makes them seem so stupid.
What's with the PC gaming hate Destin? I just don't understand it. I like my PC more than my PS3, Xbox360, or Wii.
that senator sucks
just look at the subject
Oes to noes!
Another Jack Thompson! And this one is female! She may have Oprah on her side.
Nope
Nope, its just your average politician
Connecticut Senator, lol
I actually met her once. She really doesn't know anything she's talking about, and overall, is just dumb.
This is where I'd make a joke about female politicians, but I really don't have to.
Code Monkeys
I really like how she wants warning labels on video games. By the way, she's only a state senator meaning she only has power in Connecticut. But enough about that, I'm reminded of the Code Monkeys' episode where Nancy Reagan forced Gameavision to post warning labels on their games.

the Konami Code
Yes guys, there is a rape scene in GTA IV, but you have to put in the sacred Konami code.... pffft! hahaha
Seriously Destin why do you
Seriously Destin why do you seem to be so against PC gaming.
Because
Not everyone can afford PC gaming, and well, in most cases (don't flame) they think they're above everyone else.
well at least all the PC gamers I've met or talked to.
PC Gamers
We only do it because we are above everyone else ;)

Some things never change....
Nintendo continues to have an awesome legal team while politicians continue to haphazardly scapegoat video games...
Awesome vid for Hump Day...

MY first impression on the senator.
And I hope someone actually makes an animated gif out of this: LOL, BULLSHIT! LOL, FALSE RAPE CLAIMS!
That animation was pretty
That animation was pretty terrible, but I guess it was kinda funny at least.
True Romance
True Romance was a great movie, but using the song "You're So Cool" seems really out of place for any video having to do with Mario.

Is that to much? Calling her a slut?
Bitch is less offensive maybe? I'll be nicer next time..
I'm always the comment they read on the news from the gamers.. you know, the one thats funny but it makes gamers look bad LOL
This again?!
How many times do politicians need to do this?
It would be one thing if she actualy read about...much less played the game, but just using GTA as a platform just makes he look idiotic.
This is almost as bad as the MassEffect woman
LOL
Great job Destin,
