  • UK newspapers would frequently publish photos of 16 years old girls with their tits out. That was only made illegal in 2004.

    Back during Paedomania of the early 2000s, Brass Eye had an episode taking the piss out of the press’s new found moral crusade, despite them happily being in on it for the better part of 30 years. The press did not like this at all. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to realise they were at fault, which led to the memorable juxtaposition of an article about “perv spoof bosses” on the opposite side of the page from an article about how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s boobs were getting.

















  • It’s 2018 by a long way for me.

    They took out most of the “rargh, Kratos smash!” angst of the previous games and gave us a heartfelt tale of a father and son. The viking setting is a great change of pace. The gameplay is obviously different, but not in a way that’s worse. And the optional post game enemies are a real challenge. Sigrun especially is on par with anything I’ve faced in the Souls games.

    I did have to suffer some of the worst pronunciation of Icelandic I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s almost worth it to see my wife wince every time somebody says Niðavellir in GoW Ragnarok.
