This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Erik BoielleAside from the seedyness of sitting around talking about tentacle rape with a bunch of fat balding dudes, I have no real philosophic objection.

I'm just not gonna be lectured on high art by its officianados.

:-)

I get you.

Quote from: droogHmmm--OT slur isn't working out too well, Erik.

Oh I don't know. If it gets Fifth-Child (the strangling of which arch-apologist with a piece of electric flex would likly cut forge/other hostility by around 20%) to consider precisely what his forgy chums would have to do for him to think it wasn't the greatest thing ever its all good.
Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

That's a very convoluted sentence, but what I get from it is that you get off on strangling people with electric cords. You're going to love that game!

I'm more looking forward to Classroom Deathmatch (but seriously, the appropriation of IP involved there is truely shameless - do you think a proper company could get away with it? SURELY its actionable under look and feel...).

No, er, I mean, Its ART. ART I tell you. I don't get off on Cuntface buggering Ebanezer! Its all for the ART.

ART!!!!!!!!!!!

Well thanks for breaking the shit out of the tables with that wallpaper, Erik.  And it is a wallpaper, for those who didn't know.  This is the image used on the actual cover:

And having paged through it I'm missing the tentacle rape undertone you seem to be implying is present.

Holy keerist talk about putting your agenda ahead of your facts, Erik (and blew the tables all out).  You went and found the wallpaper to support your case based on only the title of the game?

My understanding is that the game changed in focus and tone during development, but the designer never changed the name so it doesn't fit the game very well.

I can't swear to that, I've never seen the game, but that's my understanding.

That has nothing to do with Erik going a bit above and beyond though in what seemed a very misleading post without him explaining the context of the picture he posted.

Well, if the name is not indicative of the rest of the game, one has to admit that it is an even more misleading title than Erik's post.

Frankly, the way they are showcasing this game (title, art) is fucking creepy.

As I understand it, the name "Panty Explosion!" was intended as a humorous jibe at the "engrish" phrases that often infect Japanese pop culture - things that often end up sounding dirty and have nothing to do with what they refer to.  Things like this:
 

and this:



EDIT: Look, I'm as aghast at the pirate rape game as the next guy, but Panty Explosion is a gem of a game that doesn't deserve to be trashed for it's attempt at anime-geek humor.

But I would hazard a guess that throwing a little sex in the title and imagery was not accidental.  It sells, after all.

Perhaps.  I like the other wallpaper better, anyway.
