I hate when people get their panties all in a wad.

Don\'t you just love how their president explains the situation.. gotta love how he can whore a product in the middle of an expression of sympathy. Why not jus give all the families of the 9/11 tragedy coupons for the all new Mc-Whatever combo meal at McDonalds while we\'re at it. :rolleyes:
Anyhow.. shame about the game.. looked very unpolished but it sounded like something I could play for hours on end. Oh well..
-
Shame is somebody is gonna read this and believe it.Just like that lady who read theonion article that said J.K.Rowling was a satanist and fired off that 3 page letter to Dear Abby warning all of us.
-
Why in the hell would anyone make the game about the Beltway Sniper. They couldve at least given it a different name.
"The intense, white-knuckle stealth of the beltway sniper." lick my ass. What do you do, go around killing little kids and bus drivers? pathetic.
-
the game concept is good, and seems fun....however, the idea of stepping into the shoes of a famous mass murder is a bit disturbing. What\'s the next game \'Cooking with Geofry Dalmer\'? Or how about "All in the Manson Family"?
All in all, I would think the game would be much better if you were a random un-named thug, ala GTA or Hitman.

"Upon discussing the matter internally, we decided that it would be inappropriate to unleash the intense sniping action and white-knuckle stealth gameplay of Beltway Sniper at this time," Pixxel Arts
now if thats plugging a game no matter what .... i don\'t know what is :eek:
Bloody hell this guy makes PStwo look like a hopless amateur.
-
this is a joke. I don\'t belive this is for real, look at the pic, read the text, read the big sign. pfff, fake i tell you !
-
NO!111 It\'s teh real. Theonion only posts teh real stuff.
-
I can\'t believe some of you posters would take this parody of an article seriously.
It\'s a joke.
Lord have mercy on their souls. :)
-
The onion rocks!
I love their coverage of 9/11... the ongoing coverage was called:
"Holy F*cking Shit!"
:laughing:
-
Cheif Moose is approaching
:laughing:
No way is that a genuine game.
-
thats just so fake
-
Apparently some people just aren\'t all that familiar with The Onion.
-
^^^What he said.
-
Thats why there\'s a warning about being 18+ to read. You guys are pathetic for believing it.
-
finally some ppl are getting it :D
-
People, they are playing on the fact that everything gets pulled when something happens. Like how they pulled that movie that was suppose to come out last month with the dude stuck in a phone booth with a sniper pointed at him.
Like all the many things they pulled off of tv and movies after the 9/11 attacks.
I think you guys need to read the onion more. Some of the articles are brilliant.
They had one after the 2000 census that was great. They were basing it on lack of returns and they said the state of Nebraska only had 100 people living their now. It was great because they are so serious you\'d believe it if you were a total idiot.
