Interesting Interview it sounds like this dude is with most of us in terms of Saints Row the Third could of been allot Bigger and Better i watched a different Interview were he said that THQ and Volition didnt have allot of Money to make SRTT as Big as it could of been if only this Dude was there when it was being made he probley would of cut allot of s**t that was just wrong for a Crime game. Here's hoping he turns Saints Row 4 back to wont made SR1 and 2 awsome I.E Gangsta

Hm, looks like there's hope yet for SR4. as well as THQ. I can only hope that they tone the goofiness down some.

When grown men say things like this..

"I haven't played the game, I confess to Rubin, because I wouldn't want to be caught playing it by my wife or my son.  It would be embarrassing."

..it just rubs me wrong. I can't help but assume he's embrassed because of the purple dildo or the sexual inneundo and not the violence because well, 99% of the games out there these days have violence so if violence is his issue, he's in the wrong industry.  The thing is, the fact that most games have no issue embracing violence but soo little embrace sex is the issue.  

"Think of the children.." 

I do think of the children when it comes to gaming, and I'd prefer them living in a society that condemned violence rather than sex.  But the US, all I have to do is think of the Flynt case to see how weird Americans get when it comes to a lil vagina or sex toys.  In fact, just a few years back I knew a guy who had an adult toy store in Oregon and he dealt with vandalism frequently because people just couldn't deal with the fact he sold dildos to men and women.  Its like OH NOES.. people like to pleasure themselves.  But meanwhile, there were 3 gun shops within the same area and they never had one issue.  This possibly explains why Canadians, they have just as many guns floating around and dildo stores that don't get vandalized, and have far fewer issues with gun violence.  I'm not one of those liberals that hates my country, I love my country but we seriously need to quit having no issue with kids seeing violence on tv, while screaming bloody murder when an actress has a a boob accident during an NFL half time show.  I mean that whole Jackson thing was the perfect example because alll of these people whined that their children saw Janet Jacksons boob, but before that they were watchign a sport where men beat the living crap out of each other, a sport that has been proven to lead to prolonged mental health issues, as well as numerous other ones. 

In short, I'd be far more embarassed if my wife and kid walked in on me playign a game where I'm gunning down everyone in a game than if they walked in on me playing a game where Pierce is teasing the MC with a huge purple dildo.

But well.. I blame that fairytale christian, mormon, muslim, and other religious nonsense for the really bizarre mindset many have.

Anywho..

Hah, a month or two back, Playboy featured a mini Walking Dead comic.  It was just a way for Kirkman to get a lil more PR for his comic, as well as the show, and it was a way for Playboy to look a bit more with the times.  It was a win, win for both parties in my opinion but of course the weirdoes came out of the woodwork.  One guy said there's no way he'd bring home a copy of Playboy because it would be a slam against his wife and his children, and it was just wrong.  I then said, "wait a sec, you have no issue with bringing home a comic that deals with rape, cannibalism, graphic gun violence, etc, and so on, but Playboy is the ultimate sin? Wtf is wrong with you".  He couldn't really answer that, he just said he's loyal to his wife.

The last I checked seeing nude women in magazies is NOT infidelity, screwing nude women is.  If one is in a relationship where there partner has an issue with them merely looking at pictures of nude men or women, they're in an extremely unhealthy relationship because there's either insecurity issues, or an issue with possession, or both.  I learned my lesson years ago to get the hell out of any relationship where the woman had an issue with me watching horror films because of the nudity. They may say its a moral thing but chances are its an insecurity thing and insecure people are best to avoid.
