Yes, I clubbed baby seals

That's enough to make me never play. Whoever though this was a good idea is a moron, period.

Nick is ok with killing pretend humans, but not pretend animals.

There is something wrong with Nick.

"Children today, so desensitized by movies and television..." The Grinch

Yes, it's a game but the idea of getting enjoyment out of killing animals or humans is still repulsive.... you may say it's all a joke, or farce, or "just a game" but in reality playing such games is desensitizing the player to violence, murder and destruction. Children use play and games to learn how to deal with the real world, and a lot of that carries over. You don't have a brick wall in the brain that you can keep it all locked up behind. Playing these violent games changes your brain & your behavior, it affects how you deal with life in the real world, there's a bunch of studies that prove that.

I dont think Nick has a problem. The pretend humans are usually trying to kill you in the game, can't say the same about those pretend baby seals. Make a game with rabid zombie baby seals that are out for blood, and I'm sure Nick would kill them, too.

ITS A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! GET OVER IT. i did not serve in the marines for 4 years to be told i cant play a game where i can kill people or baby seals or whatever ells comes up. it falls on the parents to keep there kids in line y do u think there are age caps on everything, so tuchy feely people dont get exposed to the harsher side of the world, and trust me ive seen all of it. games can never give u the same feeling as realy killing some one i know first hand. i have played video games since i was able to walk. and not once i ever played a game killing video people that gave me the same sick feeling as it did when i was in iraq doing it for real in combat. we are free to do what we whant so long as no one goes doing these things for real. i still like to play games like GTA4 and COD4 becouse i know its not real its just fun.

GET A LIFE!

Killing in video games should not be banned. If you don't agree with it then play a different game. Who are you to tell people what they can and can't play? You as in Elizabeth...

Move on to something else to complain about. Video games don't make people violent or abusive. The lack of parenting skills does that.

Club sandwiches not seals!!!!

Elizabeth, I am glad you have nothing to do with the management of the ESRB, and have no power to act upon such a knee-jerk, blanket assessment. I would no sooner have video games banned than I would have ANY form of art/entertainment banned. I don't enjoy pornography, for example, but I'm not going to mandate that it be banned because I don't like it.

I think the video game debate speaks to a larger problem. Video games are entertainment, plain and simple. They are not meant to be parental aids. They are not meant to be taken literally. They are not meant to be electronic babysitters. I grew up around video games, R-rated movies, Stephen King books and the like, and I turned out to be a generally well-adjusted individual. I credit that to my parents raising me with a good moral base and an overall knowledge of right and wrong.

Cat murder can be caused by video games even before they're released. Who knew?

By the way, was this time-travelling video game also responsible for the pathology of Albert Fish, Ed Gein, and Ted Bundy? I'm just wondering.

Kate look you should never look at one groop of people and judge them all by a small hand full of people who realy have nothing ells in life going on for them. im a gamer and i do all those things, and served my nation during a time of war. gameing is just someting fun to pass time and to help some forget about whats going on around them just for a little bit. so grow up and stop liveing in a high school minde set cuting down people just becouse there not like you.

I view it as a good move on the part of PETA to stay away from this subject. Focus attention on preventing the unethical treatments that happens to REAL animals, rather than spend time, money, and effort worrying about virtual animals.

In addition, while Overlord II may bring killing baby seals to a new graphical prowress, this has been done in a few games previously. Notably, in Blizzard's Starcraft hit in 1996, one could make critters like sheep and seals blow up by clicking on them repeatedly and rapidly.

This is very sick !

This is twisted humor at its best. For those of you who think this is sick... you are probably right. But there is humor in it. Its social sarcasm. No one is gonna run to the nearest beach and club a seal. Its a joke. Get over it.

I think people who are concerned don't realize how over the top Overlord is. The minions cackle with a cartoonish voice as they praise the 'overlord' and do his bidding. They first encounter the baby seals as one is eating a fish. One of the minions goes "poor fishy!" and then they are sent to animatedly clobber the seals.

People never think of the violence against fish in these games. Also, in Castlevania, you eat a piece of meat to regain health. What about the poor digital cow that had to die to provide that powerup???

I am not a 'gamer'. 1st person shooter games are not for me. I prefer the puzzle and problem-solving kind.
That being said, I am old enough that I grew up playing Atari and Intellivision and we killed things... Centipedes, Aliens (Space Invaders), Asteroids, Japanese Zeros (B-52) and I don't remember what we killed in Pitfall.
These types of games have been around for a long time, the graphics a just better. So is the sense of humor. I didn't 'play' Resident Evil, but the film adaptations were fun.
As much as I adore working on the 3 computers I currently have running... I also interact with actual human beings, I read books (the ones made of paper – no Kindle for me), I still don't like outside but you can't drive a car inside (don't tell the criminals – someone else tried it yesterday).
The trick is, all things in moderation.

Playing these violent games changes your brain & your behavior, it affects how you deal with life in the real world, there’s a bunch of studies that prove that.

LOL!

What a bunch of BS. Play one and tell me your behavior in the real world is any different. Until then you don't have a clue.

Sick, sick, sick. Does no one see the massive desensitization going on here, and where it can lead?

Oh, so it does not change behavior? Quite a few posts show quite the opposite and their authors seem to be beyond repair. Kill and smile is normal these days. This is a normal joke. Wow, people can't even hear or comprehend what they say... Professional help needed on a national level. .

Jason, adult people may understand, they still remember what real life is, but kids who no longer read, or make real friends, or go see sunrise or sunset or fishing with their parents, don't have any pets etc, kids who stay inside heads in the monitors 24/7 – are you sure they all understand? Their numbers are growing rapidly, so rapidly it is scary...

After playing this game I definitely do have an urge to go way up north, purchase a club and find some seals.

Are you serious? For the past 20 years (since centipede) people have been killing insects. There has never been an uproar on insecticide. It's only because this game portraits seals as cute and cuddly, and people think seals are cute and cudly that PETA is upset.

Where were you when Centipede or Halo came out PETA? Or more obviously the game that is in thousands of bars accross the world, Deer Hunter....

PETA has too much time on their hands

saying "it's pretend" is funny if you're Murphy Brown's actress saying it to Dan Quayle. All of the sudden it isn't so funny when the shoe is on the other foot and saying killing baby seals is pretend. Hypocrites...

Was the designer of this game a supporter of anything non-Mac? It would explain alot because clubbing baby seals is the equivalent of giving Steve Jobs the finger on the internet.

I award the designer(s) of this game +over 9000 internets

Hello!

found this site just randomly..and as i love fashion and all the things that comes with it thought it would b a good idea to join...hope ur all friendly..:D

Take care!

We live in a country where its perfectly normal to kill baby seals. If you are worried about it that much do something about the real seal killers before you complain about imaginary ones.
