Imagine showing this article title to someone from the great depression or even more recently a fire fighter who lived through 9-11....this time is wild

Humour is a sum of tragedy and time.

Ive met enough old bastards who lived through the great depression and while most of them are dead they wouldve all laughed. One of them got porn banned on a base dedicated to R&D because of the sheer quantity of privates caught jacking their privates in the toilets. That man was my great grandfather who was one leg on the porn smuggling market.

Simple metaphor assists their understanding.

Imagine if you walk around to the back of Michelangelo's David and his ass disappeared.

Is this game fine art? Of course not. But as every gamer fervently attests, games are art.

I mean programming in methods of anti-perving the camera view have been common in games for decades now.
