I'm going to do my best not to argue about violence in video games. That's all I promise.

[JP Dogberry]

What I said about Postal was true though - It's not violent at all, it just allows for violence. So does real life. Admittadly, the non-violent path is tedious and boring, and so the game makes you WANT to kill people, but at no point are you forced to. It really is the player, not the game which is violent. That's what's so amusing about it. Just like real life, nothing is making you kill - you have the option, but nothing's making you. The fact you can finish it without violence simply means that although you can do horrible things in it, worse than any other game, it's less violent than almost any other game. Most games you DO have to kill people. Vice city as I mentioned is one of them, but the killing in missions is logical and consistant with the storyline, character and setting, while casual and blatant killing is typical discouraged.

In other news, I killed 1286 people in postal 2. That doesn't include the times I died, so the total is probably around 3,000.

[JP Dogberry]

When I tried finishing the game without violence, I killed three, but two of them were trying to kill me with rocket launchers, and the other one really deserved it, he was so fat I was practically doing him a favour.

Yeah, sounds just like real life.

Well, at this stage the town is entirely occupied by terrorists, and you have about three other radical groups out for your blood. Sure, it's exaggerated and unlikely, but it is plausable. The game is a satire.

still resisting urge to argue this one.

Ok, dude, when I say fat, I mean FAT. When this guy sat around the house, he sat AROUND the house. I tried to kick his body inside and burn it, but it couldn't fit through the door.

He so fat he got his own zip code.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

He's so fat that there just isn't enough room on this thread to say how fat.

[Fellfrosch]

He's so fat that when he puts on Guess jeans, the answer pops out.

[Spriggan]

He's so fat that when ever he wears red kids yell "Hey Kool-Aid Man!"

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

He's so fat that he forms his own weather system.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

He's so fat that even Tom Arnold thinks he's fat.

If fat were gold, he'd be richer than Bill Gates.
