Another media giant sets its sights on the videogames industry
Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch may be about to make a move into the videogames industry, with the COO of his giant News Corporation group confirming that the company is seeking an acquisition in the sector.
Speaking at a US investment conference, Peter Chernin admitted that News Corp was "kicking the tires of pretty much all video games companies" - up to and including market leader Electronic Arts....

This could be good.

This could severely suck.
Scratch that. It will severely suck.

Neo-conservative, Republican endorsing, PC Games.
**** me.

Most likely it wouldn't effect jack ****.
If it would, it would suck bigtime.

How cool would it be to drag race tanks... with NOS?

It hasn't occured to you for one instant that they can separate politics from business or creativity or whatever?
Oh, that's right, lefties keep can't politics separate so they assume that no one else can either.
-
Meh. Grow a sense of humour.

Well, to be fair, you've shown that it's difficult to keep politics out of most arguments, yourself...

Point.
But I'm one of those wackos that listens to AM Radio exclusively. I'm not a good example to use.

Most probably the one with Sean Hannity, Tony Snow, but do you get Combs (sp?)?

Are you trying to act ****ing stupid? Is this your way of getting a rise from us?
IT'S BASED ON THE FACT OF HOW BIASED FOX ARE.
Sorry lads that had to come out.

Well, it could be very well seperated. Remember when Fox almost sued itself? Fox news corp. VS Fox Entertainment because of that one episode of The Simpsons making fun of Fox News Channel's ridiculous amount of conservatism...

hehe. Simpsons is brilliant
"We can't even watch Fox now because they own those chemical weapons plants in Syria"

Wroks for me;
With Krusty running for congress we see another unbiased Fox News presentation;
Fox: Welcome to Fox News. Your Voice for Evil. Tonight we'll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield's 24th congressional district. For the Republicans? Beloved children's entertainer, Krusty the Clown. ..and for the Democrats, this guy. (Candidate appears with on-screen devil's horns, communist flag in background)
Candidate: I have a name!
Fox: Yes, I'm sure you do, comrade. I appreciate your being here, you're (switches to split shot of both candidates, and Krusty has an on-screen halo) usually so mired in sleaze (they both react) it must be an effort to come down to the studio.
Krusty: May I say something?
Fox: Certainly congressman. (switches to split shot of both candidates, and other guy is now upside down)
Candidate: He hasn't won yet!!
Fox: You make a very adulterous point! We will now conclude this debate with a Krusty campaign commercial..
During the above dialogue, a Fox type news crawl appears across the bottom of the screen;
Pointless News Crawls Up 37 Percent...
Do Democrats Cause Cancer? Find Out at foxnews.com...
Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer...
Dow Down 5000 Points...
Study: 92 Percent of Democrats Are Gay...
JFK Posthumously joins Republican Party...
Oil Slicks Found to Keep Seals Young, Supple...
Dan Quayle: Awesome...

Lol...no, seriously, this might be good for gamers. FOX has some great movie liscences, so they could make some good games.
And, for once, why don't you guys think that they could seperate their right wing agenda from making money?
Honestly, how could they endorse Bush in a Need for Speed game or what have you?
-
In all honesty, my opposition is purely because I think Fox specialises in low-quality, low-iq, lowbrow entertainment.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, eh? :D

Well, remember the ea-wife thing a while back. We could have a ne-con news company and a facist game publisher, with complete control over the media :p

That was uncalled for. Not to mention fellacious and an outright lie.

I know, it makes me angry too. That coverage is really biased.

Massachusetts...why am I not suprised
-
Wait! You mean that picture isn't real?
-
How could it be? You moron...
-
Well...considering that Fox has already helped make a few games...AVP and AVP2...the later one ruled big time
So...Fox has it's hits and misses...let's just hope most of them are hits.
-

Yeah, jeez. Somehow it just totally slipped me that FOX NEWS LOGOS AND SCROLLING HEADLINES didn't exist in the 1960s WHEN THAT EVENT TOOK PLACE. Silly me for missing A COMICALLY ABSURD ANACHRONISM.
-
The reason I fear this is that Fox is often known as the "TV Critics Employment Network", with crap for ideas, crap for shows, and crap for brains.

Yup. As well as an offshoot channel, Sky shows oodles of crappy "when pants collapse" style programmes from Fox.
Oh, and having watched the World Cup '98 on it, Fox Sports is utter ****e too.

Lib, your arse is showing.

Hrm.
