Smile Re: Hi from Italy "Collecting is viral"

Thank you all guys!
The game room is not very big is 22 square meters and I'm running out of space

I have other CE to arrange and place new items as soon as I placed the photos.
In any case surely I will expand my collection

A question where I'll post photos in a few days? in that section of the forum should be posted?

Thanks again to all guys

And then post photos of my purchases:

Dead Island Zombie Bait riptide Edition



Injustice Gods among us collector edition



Gears of war lancer Judgment car. 13 replies



Framework Lupen 3 Composed in photomosaic with photos of all the episodes

I still don't understand the controversy over that bust... compared to what is in most of our games it is PG at most.

Hmmm I can understand US outcry about it but surprised there was as much European outcry as there was

Europe is usually far less puritanical about this sort of thing at least imo

At least for the most part the general media has accepted that violence in VG's doesn't magically translate to violence in real life

It was the name more then the gore "Zombie Bait" as to mock the saying "Jail Bait" (an underage good looking girl).

That was the outcry but it was just a stupid saying.

Hmm... It's not like I totally hate it. But I won't deny I find it distasteful, as the torso is clearly a mix of horror and porn... And in the back of my mind I can't shake the idea of violence against women. It's just disturbing for me. But maybe that's just me, so never mind

Controversy... That's what makes our otherwise boring world, interesting and gives life to the no-lifers..

No it was offensive to others too... but it wasn't violence against women. The women in the statue is a dead zombie, and the "joke" was that it was now bait for zombies which was a pun on the saying "Jail Bait" (this is why they made the bust a "sexy-ish" bust).

I agree it is sort of in poor taste but nothing worth getting worked up over, but we need to give the person his thread back now.

I don't think Sand was doing this at all... but i HATE when people get offended over things that are not really important or just becasue they are taking it the wrong way.

My old man does this all the time... some people always need to be a victim of something someone else does or says.
