"I don’t consider myself to be a prudish individual by any means, my favorite television show just happens to be South Park and my favorite musical act is Slayer.

This particular title hits that nerve, and I’m not sure if it’s the Man Birds (flying, anatomically correct monstrosities) that defecate on the street or by killing my character by slapping them in the face with their overly large genitalia that did it. Beyond any of that, let’s see how ugly it gets in Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon."

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
