"hey Dennis, what's the fastest way to tank the good reception our game got?"

"I don't know Cactus, but I'm just gonna watch this Pewdiepie video for inspiration"

"HELP THE BARRELS ARE RAPING ME!!!"

"EUREKA! To the Game Maker station, Cactus!"

One of these days, geek media will deal with rape in a way that isn't painfully ham-fisted.

One day.

Maybe next Tuesday, I dunno.

There's pipe dreams, there's pie in the sky dreams, and then there's pie in the pipe dreams.

But we must dream of pipes, for pipes are here to be dreamed of.

I follow a lot of very video game centric people on twitter and other places and have not heard of this

so basically what I'm saying is. "What?"

RocketRunner

Yeah, do I want to know?

In Hotline Miami 2 there are these characters called The Fans, who are shooting a movie based off of the events of the last game, to get Jacket's attention. At one point in the filming, after a chapter, you're told to "FINISH HER" or something, wherein the game takes control away from you and Pig Butcher (a playable character inspired by Jacket) gets ready to do that, before another character says cut and to redo it over.

The article nameless linked is also pretty good, and more in-depth.
