DESTROY All Humans!

[filthymindedvixen]

DS (9.5) is adamant that he has played this game (Destroy All Humans 2) at his friend's house and now wants to buy it for himself.

It is Age Rating 15. Does anyone know this game or play it themselves? How bad is it? Would you let your child play it?

I feel quite liberal letting him watch cert 12 films...
I feel inherently that he shouldn't buy this game but as it is his money, and I know nothing about this game I don't want to be too puritanical either.

Any thoughts, oh mighty court of MN?

(We both agree to abide by the court's ruling )

well personally, I don't mind kids watching 12 films if they're 12 because of swearing or sex, but I do mind if it's because of violence. I think it's a really bad idea to let kids get too de-sensitised to it you see.

...and I have a funny feeling that "destroy all humans" might be a bit on the violent side.

Oh FMF, did you see my YouTube thread recently featuring the lovely Dancing Matt? (if you don't know what I am talking about just search for Dancing Matt on YouTube to see his lovely lovely video)

Anyway, he came up with the concept of Destroy All Humans as a game because he was fucked off with the company for rejecting his cute and funny games for kids ideas. He was kind of saying "well screw you then, if you want nasty stuff, have a game where the entire human race gets killed". They loved it, of course. At which point Matt said "forget it", left and went round the world and made his lovely video

sorry this is not really any help is it? I just have small crush on Lovely Matt and thought it was relevant

[but he dances like an auntie at a wedding]

Boco I may have to report you to MNHQ for bullying and stalking of me and Matt, if you repeat that vicious auntie-dancing slur again

just leave us alone, you are only jealous because we have found true happiness together

Oh Franny Franny Franny. You must face the truth if you are to have any kind of a future together.

Watch Matts film, picture him in Dorothy Perkins dress, taupe hat with feathers, bit of very berry lipsheen and some woodland nymph all over face glow, pair of patent heels with bow.

Now, change the music from deep forest to Beach Boys. Are you there yet?

I didn't read that Boco
I have no idea what you said
You know I hold you ENTIRELY responsible for Matt not posting on my other thread after I mailed him the link
I am not looking
nevernevernevernevernever

Oh yes sorry - Filthy, i'd say NO WAY to the violent game. Remember watching two 12 year old boys playing that horrible game where you steal cars and beat up prostitutes and it was alarming! And those zombie games too, where thy mash up people, it makes shocking violence seem so easy and without thought.

Get him dancing lessons instead, so he never dances like an auntie.

I would copy Matt's entire ouevre onto DVD for him and let him marvel at his fascinating insights into the world of computer game design

plus it will give him a manly and sensitive role model to aspire to

mmmmm, it's the manly i'm struggling with - where are you finding manly exactly?

His knees

ok, you know i'm going to let you have that. Because anything else would be cruel.

They are very very manly knees.

his whole entire lower leg, actually

and the hiking boots, let me have the hiking boots

The boots yes, no problem.

I'm afraid we do have a problem with his calves and general ankle / shin area, but certainly calves is a no can do. They're a little fleshy, a little soft and peachy, too smooth and jaunty, the calves of a lady.

Boco

you have been studying his legs rather closely haven't you

I KNOW, YOU ARE IN LOVE WITH HIM YOURSELF AND YOU ARE TRYING TO KEEP US APART

you twisted little locomotive you

While his wholesome smile and pungey cheeks are appealing in an enthusiastic labrador sort of way, I Am No Auntie-Fetishist. I like a man with a mans bottom and mans calves, not the gentle curves and feminine bulges of Matt!

I saw in the bit of the interview that i watched that the dance had grown from his habit of enthusiastically dancing at his work colleague when it was time for lunch and he wanted him to hurry up.

Sweet.

But in real life, If you were that colleague, you'd have attacked him with a stapler within 3 days max, guaranteed.

PMSL! my child will grow a hooligan because I stayed on mumsnet to enjoy the surrealty of 2 women dicussing the lovely Matt (gorblessim andhis lovely Auntie-dancing)instead of swee[ing my child up to a remote croft in the Hiughlans with no electricity.

sTILL THINK i'M GETTING THE FEELING DS WON'T BE BUYING THIS GAME.

I did tell him there were times when i had to stop being his mate and be his parent.

I'm a bit shocked at his mate having it (no older sibs to blame)

If I were that colleague, I would have had him pinned up against the door of the stationery cupboard within 3 days max

Oh FMF I think you have made a WISE decision there and he will respect you for it

one day

HOLD on a minute

Boco you watched the INTERVIEW

Boco lo-oves Ma-att Boco lo-oves Ma-a-aatt

Only the first couple of minutes! Honest, just that bit about dancing in front of his colleague, and i had flashbacks to office life and had to stop.

Boco you WATCHED the interview

you ASSESSED his calves

you heart Matt

well having read this I'd say no

"Destroy All Humans! has gameplay similar to the Grand Theft Auto series, a series renowned for its controversial content; however, Destroy All Humans! does not contain blood and gore; it is slightly edgy because of its language and sexual humor,"

"Anal Probe: Shoots a green jelly-like ball with a green trail into the anus of the victim. A fully-charged shot will cause people to start running, grabbing their bottoms and expelling brown clumps of feces."

Hmmmm lovely one of the pieces of weaponry available in the game !

I would love him to be my favourite auntie. And i would invite him to my wedding, and watch him dance.
