OH LORD JUST LOOK HOW EMOTIONALLY DISTRAUGHT THIS MAN IS AT PORTAL 2 AND HOW IT TAUNTS HIS ADOPTED DAUGHTER SO MUCH THAT THE LOCAL NEWS HAD TO DO A STORY! (http://kotaku.com/5802908/portal-2-finds-a-way-to-offend)

This is frustratingly stupid.

Wonder when my five minutes will come.

I bet he is also upset about the lack of cake.

It seems to me he's just whining for the sake of whining. I can understand that an adoption joke might offend some people, but that's when you turn the game off, not call up the news station.

Well, the point of the adoption jokes were to be offensive. So good job, fictional villain.

This is where I'd normally say something about video games being used as a scapegoat but this time for something this stupid don't reckon I'll bother!

"VIDEO GAME MAKES FUN OF ADOPTION."

Anyway, the clip in that news story reveals major spoilers about the game.

The spoiler is that there are no portals, only HATS.

I just saw a follow-up to this. I seriously don't understand why this made the news. The guy's not even flipping out; he's just kinda upset.

The news caster went into how much crap she's getting from gamers, and read a couple of emails like "Why are you even covering this? What are you hoping to accomplish here?" I was amused.

I would very much enjoy a link to that.

"It's a fantastic game, it's a great game, it's just that one little blurb in there..."

If you like the game why did you whine about it to your local news station? :Oo:

That's some horrendously bad journalism.

I'm waiting for the day Portal 2's blamed for promoting eating disorders - since the antagonists both try to taunt the lithe, athletic Chell about being fat.

Also, the alien-infested landscape of Half-Life 2 is strewn with wrecked cars. As a car owner, I find that offensive and traumatising somehow. I think I'm going to need some money, and probably a few minutes of media attention, in order to get over the anguish.

Oh God, this is stupid. This guys is mildly irritated by the joke in regards to his daughter and that's it. He still praises the game. It's an E-rated game. I bet there's loads of PG-rated films with similiar jokes. This is just childish of the news station.
