So this baby, while still inside its mother, murdered his twin brother and STOLE HIS PENIS.

That is one badass baby.

I managed to get through it, but I agree that they seem to have made the censorship bleeps more annoying than usual. Perhaps they hoped to make up for the shock value of the profanity by replacing it with sheer ear-piercing agony.

Also, I found the choice of words to be censored somewhat bizarre. I suppose you could make an (unconvincing) argument that "bitch" has a perfectly legitimate use as a reference to a female dog and therefore should not count as a swear word, but censoring "twat"? I'm pretty sure it's just because I'm American and we tend to use British words all wrong, but I always considered "twat" to register on the profanity scale next to "heck", "goshdarn" and "bullfeathers."

I am starting to suspect that this censoring wasn't really made just to bleep out the "bad words", but mostly to see how people would react, thus explaining the "twat" censoring, and how in general, you get the word that's being said, even though it's been "censored".

I'm assuming they showed this/these at the GDC, which isn't the Internet you idiots. Then again they did censor 'jerk' so perhaps they were a bit overzealous.

Oh, and seta, you are aware of what 'twat' means, aren't you?

I'm not going to post in this thread again because it's a discussion of the meaning and comparative sweariness of swearwords and I already feel ashamed doing it once.

And of course we all know that not adding the censoring in the Escapist version is going to take several weeks of work by a team of the best computer scientist from this side of the galaxy.

The bleeping actually made the humor more colorful for me.

Gordon Freeman FTW!

(I wonder what they'll be giving Yahtzee next).

A twat is a clitoris (or something like a pregnant starfish strangely enough...) and it's probably because jerk refers to masturbation. But, meh.

Really I thought it was a word for pussy or fud I didn’t realise it was a word for a more specific part of the female anatomy, but yeah it is quite bad one step below cunt but one above beef curtains.

I knows me cusses.

I was annoyed at the censorship. I like the way Yahtzee says swear words. They just sound... more awesome when he says them.

Who actually took the time to sit down and write a wiki article on the word "twat"? Anyway they got it wrong it doesn’t mean idiot in the UK it means the same thing it does everywhere else it’s just frequently used on idiots as in "whoever wrote that article is a dumb twat".
