They sent a message to Valve, they couldnt care less.
Think of how many sex jokes there are in HL2! But these people are taking offence from an Orphan joke!?
They say Portal 2 is an educational, The f***? this is a puzzle game! This game is not for educational purposes, Its like saying Far Cry is educational. AND PORTAL 2 IS A KIDS GAME? SINCE WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN?
Plus GLADoS said it and shes a physcho supercomputer, GLADoS gives example of an orphan joke, DURRR.
DISCUSS.

I lol'd :lol:
Actually, I was surprised it wasn't Fox News airing that report, would so fit into that scheme. Another proof that people who have no clue what they're talking about should keep their mouth shut, now and forever, or just get some actual knowledge of the matter.
Valve won't answer to this because they're probably laughing their butt of right now, and Sony has by god enough problems with their PSN, so why should they care. Nobody that had the remote chance of actually playing the game and knows what it is will take this seriously, only politicians and americans would fall for that (Sorry for the joke, it's just that I hold dear to my prejudices, they're so much fun, just like this story :lol: )

Don't you love the fact he doesn't bother to mention the fact that GlaDOS was chewing Wheatley out right after the adoption jokes?

Every time I hear this brought up I just laugh at how selective people's hearing is since, as you said, GlaDOS is like, there is nothing wrong with being adopted.


The stupidity of people knows no bounds.

People like this guy shouldn't be allowed to be parents. They hear worse stuff at school. Stop bitching about a game. It's a game.

Besides, games are now officially art

So he complains on art

But GLaDOS pretty much says that there is nothing wrong with being an orphan, so wouldn't the game be doing the opposite of making fun of orphans by making the people who do make fun of orphans look stupid?

I'm surprise this isn't Fox News reporting on this.

GLaDOS sent a message back:

"Your not smart, you are not a doctor, you are not a scientist, you are not even a F**king full time employee, where did your life go so wrong?"


Stupid Soccer Parents. IT'S A EFFING GAME. People like you ruin the game industry.

Actually, in his case it wasn't even that bad. If you listened to the entire story, then it should be obvious that as soon as he heard the phrase come from Wheatley he turned off the game to stop his daughter from hearing any more. Because he turned off the game, he couldn't of heard GLaDOS' counter-argument asking Wheatley what was wrong with being adopted. His opinion was viewed on half of the scene after he wanted his daughter to not hear any more, so it's understandable.

I'll repeat it again. It wasn't actually [i]his[/i] fault. If anything, it was the news station's fault for causing such a big deal out of it. They tended to over exaggerate and tell lies about the game, making people believe that the entire thing was wrong.

So yeah, it wasn't the dude's fault.

You forget to mention that the guy went through the trouble of phoning up his local news station to get them to run the story. The news just did what they always do - exaggerate and blow the whole thing out of proportion.

It even shows in the clip that GLaDOS is being sarcastic when she tells Wheatly "you're adopted and that's terrible". And GLaDOS also points out that Wheatly is meant to be a moron, so I'm not surprised that that's all he came up with. I did find it funny that the news team didn't know who made the game until Sony told them.

Am I the only one that finds it funny that they actually complained about this to Sony? The only reason this story was aired was that the old guy at the beginning happens to be Jack Thompson's brother. And GLaDOS actually makes fun of you being adopted in the beginning of the game, and now she's defending you. But like you guys said, IT'S A FREAKING GAME! There are more important issues in the US that we need to worry about like the economic crisis, Jack Thompson, massacres, Jack Thompson, the severe weather that has come close to killing me twice, Jack Thompson, and the Mayans and their 2012 theory. And don't forget Jack Thompson.
