I think one comment in NITD review by Bobak is inappropiate

[Amano Jacu]

Bobak!: is a radical Basque separatist in hiding. Responsible for planning guerrilla actions in Bilbao, he is wanted by the Spanish government and the EU. In his spare time he's been documented (through Spanish & French Intelligence) visiting local arcades to play video games -with a penchant for the Neo Geo MVS system. Interpol has tracked his internet activity to a cyber-cafe in Andorra, from which they believe he files his radical leftist propaganda, directions to operatives, and the occasional video game review (to blow off the steam of fighting oppressive regimes).

This can be found in Bobak's review of Nightmare in the Dark:
<a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/neo-reviews/nitd/nitd.html" target="_blank">http://www.neo-geo.com/reviews/neo-reviews/nitd/nitd.html</a>

I was astonished after reading it. I guess that's a joke of some sort. I've checked other reviews by Bobak and some have some type of fictitious story about himself, maybe related to the game reviewed. But that one is way off-topic.

I'm Catalan, another nation inside of Spain. The Basque separatism problem has caused a lot of pain in this otherwise quite peaceful country. There's a terrorism organization called ETA (similar to IRA in Ireland) that causes murders in all the Spanish territory. 2 weeks ago two civil, innocent people (an old man and a 6 ears old girl) died in a bomb attempt in Santa Pola (Valencia, very far from the Basque country). There's been hundreds of deaths in the last years. The worst attempt happened in my city, Barcelona more than 10 years ago, when a bomb in a commercial center called Hipercor killed more than 10 people. I could continue.

So please, don't make jokes like that. I think it would be best if that comment was removed of this site. I have nothing against the Basque, but I do have a lot of things about anyone who exercises violence. And Bobak is describing himself as a terrorist proud of it. I feel offended.

Any serious comment about this really serious matter will be welcome.

------------------------------

I read this weeks ago, when I set myself to do a survey of all the game reviews in this board. However much I enjoyed Bobak's reviews and original jokes, I think I must say that this one made me feel very offended as well.

The problem with E.T.A. in Spain is NOT something to make jokes about. It has caused many pain and suffering, along with the death of countless inocents. So please go and inform yourself about how the real situation is before you make more jokes of this nature. The actions of the basque terrorists have been exclusively dedicated to the murder of innocent people since they were founded during Franco's dictatorship. Your joke makes them look like benevolent freedom fighters, something which is a very grave distortion of a much harder reality.

I think both Amano Jacu and myseld would very much appreciate some kind of clarification of your opinion on this matter. Thanks

ETA sucks man. I'm a spanish neighbour and I feel annoyed everythime they place bombs on cars of inocent victims.

The spaniards would have to have more power to annihilate them.

I wonder if that was the reason he wasn't on the boards that much.

Sorry for the offense,

I made a few alterations to the fictional bio that should make it satisfactory to all those involved.

God, you actually edited it. It's like that one lonely house wife that bitched about Power Rangers and had it taken off a local Station. Whocares? It's all in good fun! Take a joke.

I agree with you, Rade -but at the same time, I saw that there was an easy substitution that's just as funny. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and bomb a nursery in Madrid.

I don't like that attitude, young man

I think I should call down Savak on your ass... remember them? <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

No, I don't follow Star Trek that much anymore.

This type of shit makes me fucking sick! You people are worse than the Mothers of America!

Amano Jacu or any of you other pieces of euro trash, if you don't like what you read, don't read it. If you happen to be offended by what Bobak wrote in his review, stop reading the review. Since what he wrote was obviously too much for your fragile little minds to handle. If you don't like the environment of this web site, leave. It's as simple as that, don't try to come around here and change the environment just because it doesn't suit your delicate tastes.

It's a damn shame that Bobak felt the need to change what he wrote just to pacify a few bitches. He must be a pretty nice person. If that was me I would have turned around and wrote something twice as hideous. I would have wrote some shit about raping your mothers and eating children!

Fuckers like you act like you have the right to police everyone else. Who in the fuck made you the moral authority? Can you decide what's right and wrong? I don't know how things run over there in that third world shithole you live in, but over here in the USA we have the freedom of speech. Don't come around here spouting your communist ideals. Take your censorship somewhere else, don't bring that shit here!

I'd be willing to bet that you butt plugs are probably out demonstrating against violence in video games. That's so nice, since I can't make decisions about what kind of games I want to play on my own, you guys are there to make them for me.

Well, after spewing all that venom, my point remains. If you don't like something, be it verbal, written, televised, or fucking whatever, avoid it. If something out there offends me, I don't pay attention to it. I don't try to change the surrounding habitat just because it clashes with my tastes.

Fucking A!
