How to stir up controversy to get noticed: Attack a sacred cow by Rafiki 07/12/2017, 5:26pm PDT

And yet, in all my research for this article and all my years online, I have never come across anyone who hated Old Man Murray. In gaming, it is the most sacred of sacred cows, the still-beating heart of the industry's culture


:D


I'm honestly surprised this didn't start happening sooner. Given the political climate, I was waiting for people to start attacking OMM years ago. Eventually I figured that it was so long off the radar that people stopped caring or forgot about it.


The misanthropic 15-year-olds who devoured Grand Theft Auto III when it launched — that game being an artifact of Old Man Murray (and British lad) culture


Old Man Murray: an entire culture unto itself. I know this guy and this other guy aren't enough to call this a trend, but is this going to be a new thing where we start seeing people trying to establish GTA3 as some kind of cultural touchstone to separate the intellectual gaming elite (adventure gamers, Braid fans) and the unwashed gaming masses (anarchists, tolerant libertarians)?
