No, adopted children's parents. I never heard a word from the kid in that whole article(if there is one I missed it, please correct me there), and I know that plenty of people who were adopted have been speaking up against this article.
I can understand why the Portal games could be considered harsh because you have characters insult you in first person view. But it seems like a case of "think of the kids!" where the parents are the only offended ones. I'm sure the kid realised it was a villain and that was why he was saying mean things.
yeah. I mean since it is now a "kids educational game"(my hand burned when I typed that) they should know that even in kids games, the bad guy insults you. Bowser insults Mario all the time.

In the video, they ask the kid if she "heard it" and the kid says no.
How this even functions as a coherent thought in anyone's head, I have no idea. How did they explain the presence of the news team to the kid? The mind boggles.
But yeah, the idea that having the game's villains say mean things is "insensitive" is just inherently ridiculous.
Eh... if I were a parent in the same situation, instead of getting upset I'd use it as an opportunity to teach my kid about rising above petty taunts, and maintaining courage and dignity in the face of douchebags.
Or you could blow it out of all proportion and invite some news crew into your home to stick cameras in your kid's face. Different styles I guess.
I've done some of the co-op, but I've already forgotten the puzzles and their solutions. Also my co-op partner did most of the heavy lifting, honestly, because she'd done it before. I'd totally be cool with playing through whatever if you didn't mind.
Awesome! I was hoping they'd bring out an official soundtrack. I wonder if they'll ever put it onto CD. I know Valve already have one CD released of their music, so they could do it again.
That actually happened to me as well because I thought you had to hold the door open. The block exploded after a while, though, and allowed us to continue.
Dashing and I broke Co-op last night. It was epic.
Just going through your posts and read this as "Dashing and I broke up last night". Thanks, at least my eyes were wide open for a moment after a terrifyingly tiring workday.
(Still needs detailing, primer, sanding, and painting, but the hard part's done!)
(Also, also: three of my guy friends are awesome- one is making the eye out of light gel, one is building the motion detection/ voicebox, and one is making injection molds of the body and legs so that all of us can have a turret of our very own. All of the carving and sculpting was done by me, a mix of Model Magic, florist's foam, and coat hanger wire)

Of course I go to do the burn your house down bit to find out you already did that joke.
Granted I'm not world's best partner with my eyes still healing, but you'll get some hilarity out of it!
As Rather Dashings stalker, I can tell you it is still Rather Dashing and he has the picture of Abe Lincoln.
(sorry for the delay, I went to eat dinner)

Valve, you beautiful people.

I'm division-ten on Steam.
I'll gladly play it. Just need someone to buy it for me first!

Granted, it IS for a contest. But, really, who doesn't want their own turret?
You are just missing out. Seriously.
