[QUOTE="Doctor Futurity, post: 7685847, member: 10738"] I'll presume I agree with you that it is childish and juvenile (I literally have no interest in following up on what this game ended up looking like; not my cup of tea). However, when I read a book, game, or watch a movie that is something I don't like, what I do is dismiss that movie/game/book not the entire body of work of all entities associated with it. Since I know John Wick can produce serious stuff, I'm not going to retroactively scrub his body of work from my Okay List. All that aside, if it's a humor game about light-hearted sex-based/thematic mechanics and situations I fail to see what is so horrible about "bangs." Probably because there's some unfortunate connotation I've missed in my sheltered life. But then again I liked Unknown Armies, where critical failures were identified as BOHICAs (Bend Over Here It Comes Again) and critical successes were OACOWAs (Open A Can Of Whoop-Ass). These in an otherwise fairly dark and serious horror game. (Side note, so we don't get derailed fighting on this: my goal is not to convince you that you're wrong in disliking John Wick; I really don't care what you want to think about him, that's your deal. Rather, it's to convince you that if you want to make a crusade out of convincing OTHER people he is bad/wrong/yucky you need to expand your scope on your argument and assume we don't all have the same baseline assumptions as what's good/bad that you do. And right now, I feel you're setting a very, very low bar for criteria of dismissal. That's fine for you, but not me.) [/QUOTE]
