Defend the Offenders – The Horrible Show 02-23-11

Ironically, Justin, Cole, Ethan, Gifford, and Christina are on their best behavior this week when discussing offensive games over the years. Nothing like a conversation about Splatterhouse, BMX XXX, and Gears of War to bring out the best in people. Send in your questions to [email protected] or @TheHorribleShow

With video games under fire once again, The Horrible Show cast thought it was time to take a look back on how video games became so “evil.” In our Threesomes of the Week, Cole takes on Scientology and somehow survives. The On the Spot question asks “What has offended you the most in the world of video games” and Gifford is more than over all of the Call of Duty players. The Defend the Offenders conversation kicks off with german cursing and blood following your kids home from the arcade. Justin almost gets kicked off his show in defense of Conker’s Bad Fur Day, while Christina relives the moment she became more than ok with gore in video games. We continue to hammer out the details for our upcoming Horrible All Nighter on Xbox Live, stay tuned for an official announcement soon. Cole concludes the show with an audio hug to Telltale Games for bringing back yet another game from his bizarre childhood.
