The Whirlwind debates: Blitz the League II

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

The whirldwind discovers American football. And testicles.

lowdowngasps: Wow, an American football game where you can purposefully make someone’s balls burst, upon which you are greeted by a graphic cutscene of it actually happening
fatconan: Is this all in an effort to make American football interesting?
lowdowngasps: I think there’s only a certain level of entertainment that spraying blood and semen across the camera can attain.
fatconan: Nice
lowdowngasps: The point seems to be targetting specific body parts to injure people in various ways. I think they’ve got their genres confused.
fatconan: Is this Japanese?
lowdowngasps: It’s pretty tame for that. They would all be little girls if it were.
fatconan: hehe
lowdowngasps: Anyway, there you go
fatconan: I can’t decide if I want to click that
lowdowngasps: It’s only videogame violence
fatconan: Of the nut crushing variety
lowdowngasps: bursting
fatconan: *shudder*
fatconan: That’s some bullied geek’s unresolved resentment issues with jocks right there
lowdowngasps: “Mash buttan to make balls burst harder”
lowdowngasps: Imagine if making that animation was your job
fatconan: It’d certainly be pushing (bursting) the envelope (thin sack)
lowdowngasps: Hahaha

Afterthought: I like the way the developers have spliced this girly, stop-start version of rugby with the explanation scenes from House. Here’s hoping for a footie management sim with added CSI forensic analysis scenes in the near future.
