I am SO SICK of the idiotic media here. They don't seem to have any brain. The only purpose they seem to serve anymore is to give some comedy episodes on certain issues from time to time, such as this particular article from TOI:

When gamers hit it off with virtual women-India-The Times of India

She doesn’t want flowers, she doesn’t talk about nature and romance, and she’ll let you fondle her anytime without asking, "Where is all this heading?" Obviously, she doesn’t exist. She’s part of a software universe, another character in a wild computer game whose destiny is entirely in the hands of a man

Did the reporter fantasize that? Women in games have personality, just as decent as real women do. Sorry, no such thing as "fondling her anytime". Any woman can play a game just like a man, so there's no question of "destiny in the hands of a man". Piece of crap.

Unable to face the realities of heartbreak, outright rejection and other humiliations of love, youngsters today are seeking refuge in addictive multi-user games, a whole parallel universe where life is boy-friendly.

:rofl: :rofl:

The reporter things that "heartbreak", "rejection" and "humiliation" are the reasons why people turn to games? Sorry, whoever write this article is out there, and I mean WAY OUT THERE, out of this world..... = MAD.

The games that Mayank plays include Max Payne, Thrones of Chaos, Need For Speed and Half Life. Most of these are Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs), which typically require at least six players

:rofl: :rofl:

MMORPG with only six players? And HL, Max Payne, NFS are MMOs?

In such games, there are usually girls who shed layers of clothing as the gamer progresses

Oh yeah indeed. Sorry, Half-Life doesn't feature one major female character worth mentioning, and in HL2 Alyx is 100% clothed throughout the game. In NFS the clothing level remains the same, and in Max Payne everything is a very casual theme with an implied seriousness. This is an uninformed nonsense spewed out by the idiot reporter....

There are also games where the player can denude characters and do more.

The same way you can make any male character naked if you are female for any game...................................

Subhash Banerjee, grimacing at being disturbed from the second level of Half Life that he was playing, says, "I liked this girl in my class but she refused when I asked her out. I tried a few times more but then gave up. And since I was already into gaming, I re-entered it with a vengeance." The 17-year-old is a hardcore gamer who has to play Lara Croft or Half Life for at least a couple of hours with his group. "Sometimes, I even steal money from my father’s wallet," he says. Almost half his pocket money of Rs 1,500 is blown up in gaming.

Somehow, the dialogue doesn't add up. I wager that this dude was PAID 1500 rupees to say what he did.....

His favourites are based on innocent characters like Barbie and Cinderella. Every fetish can be fulfilled while playing these games.

Looks like the reporter has vendettas and fetishes rather than anyone else....

lol, Indian newspapers and gaming.
 
^^i'll make that Indian media and technology

even supposedly quality newspapers like the Hindu have absolutely rubbish technology articles....
 
lol, but seriously dude, we don't need such BS article :no:. Articles like these will have a great impact on the future gamer's life.
 
OMG.....this is one funny article... The games that are mentioned are not MMORPF>.. thrones of chaos is still to be released i think so how did this guy get it :S>...

Can you get me the email id of the article writer or the name of the guy who wrote this... i would like to send him a mail with all his fetishes explained properly...

and maybe on to the editor also :P
 
Ramesh Panthri (not his real name), a junior content editor with a software services firm in a Mumbai suburb, has never been the same after his girlfriend left town and their romance ended. He now regularly stays back in his office and plays the hentai games. His favourites are based on innocent characters like Barbie and Cinderella. Every fetish can be fulfilled while playing these games.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

M quitting gaming... :@ :@
 
ah.. for you fellow memebers...check out my humble letter to this editor :P
First of all i would like to say.. Congrats on getting an article really screwed up.
Just so you know, its people like you and this Mr. Priyanko Sarkar who have no idea what they are writing about and just pen downs things that they hear from frustrated and idiotic people like the ones you have mentioned above. ( I really doubt any of them are even real ).

What you are putting down as gaming, is far away from anything even related to gaming, if you want to know about gaming headup to some decent forums such as fileplanet or hell even india tech sites such as techenclave where you would understand what gaming is all about.
You need to get your facts right also. The games you have mentioned as MMORPG, other than " Thrones of Chaos" that is still be released the rest of the games are FPS or racing.
Oh By the way, did you really read the full form of MMORPG that you have inputted... "Massive multiplayer ", six people are nothing... MMORPG's have over 600 players playing at a time.

Did you also know that the games that you mentioned, not even one of them has your so called " pornography in gaming "

oooh yeah.. before i forget, there are feamle gamers in India also.. just in case you have never been to a proper gaming event.

Do let me know if you would be intrested to see a REAL gaming event happening sometime when you come out of your fetish world of pornography.

Regards
Karan
