A) "Misspoke": you are right, she didn't misspeak, she clearly spoke without real research. I think that now that she has admitted that LOST is moe sexually explicit she may reconsider her stance.

B) Cramped screen: Not sure, i'll have to rewatch it.

C) "My daughter played five minutes of this game and is now six months pregnant" ---> "But the game has been out for three months." ---> "It's the game's fault that she got teen pregnant." Genius.

In the end, lets all just remember that FAUX news is more or less run by the Republican Party in the US. See what I mean?

As I've never played Mass Effect, I didn't know how legitimate the claims were. But since I thought Hot Coffee was overblown, I doubted this one was any more legitimate.

Welcome to the forums. ^.^

Personally I've never played Mass Effect either, but I'm just willing to say that Fox has TOTALLY overblown this as per usual. Damned Fox....how do they stay in business with just bad public PR?

Fox News is about to try to convince the American people to go to war with their Canadian neighbours.

After all their research team has just informed them about a Canadian terrorist cell based out of Victoria that is attacking the American people, their ideas and their way of life.

And they have weapons of mass destruction

Made me laugh rather hard rather loudly. After I ranted about the idiocracy that is Fox News on thsi subject, this video just made it all the better.

Also: If anyone hasn't heard, Mass Effect fans are retaliating against Cooper Lawrence by bashing her book on Amazon. But they're doing it in a way which seems eerily true, as if they had actually read the book instead of attempting to give Cooper some of her old medicine by spouting things without basis. But they didn't, which just goes to show the amazing creativity of the gaming fan base.

Probably because all the ones that aren't doing it that way are getting deleted as spam.

It's really just deserts, though; you can form a knowledgeable opinion on anything these days without actually being familiar with the subject matter, and only people who are actually familiar with the subject will call you out on it, because everyone else is stupid and gullible.

Cooper came out and apologized, apparently having seen the error of her ways, or being scared shitless when her amazon rating bottomed out. Either way...

Oh, and by the way, I hear hell is a lot cooler these days...

If there's a problem with this video, it's that it seems more legitimate than Fox's actual coverage. I mean, Paul's books are actually vaguely relevant to the discussion, and Matt seems to be able to finish more thoughts than the actual defender.

I just read the article. This woman asked another person what they'd heard about the game, essentially third-hand information. What an idiot. Do your research people or the internets will hunt you down and keel you!

heh, really liked the characters, had me laughing. After watching the actual footage I think it an even better idea that you guys made the video.
Always knew that fox news was largely left-wing, but wow.
