Swearing in computer games

Recommended Posts

Swedish is great because you can just connect two completely unrelated swear words and get a new one, which my brain does auomaticly nowadays. Like

 

Knullkuk intercoarse + ****

Fittslem vagina + slime/sekretion

Sprutmongo ejaculatory mongoloid (the ejaculation part is actually there for extra emphasis on the mongoloid, like 'damn moron' )

Horknull prostitute + intercoarse

Fetslak obese +limp

Knullkorv intercoarse + sausage

Spermagas sperm + gas

 

 

that I like to shout when playing games or sports

 

.... :aiee:

 

Thanks for the Swedish swearing 101

Cussing and swearing works great as long as it is not, like much in life, forced or overemphasized.

 

Too much swearing is like too much moaning in a porn movie, it simply breaks immersion.

Swearing in real life is often a verbal tool (or crutch) and in dialogue as long as it meets a certain degree of appropriateness (with character and situation) then I have no problem with swearing.

 

Use of swearing in ways that are inappropriate or disconnected with the situation at hand are always going to stick out like a sore thumb as I play.

Swearing affecting game ratings is one of the more stupid human inventions. Swearing's a part of everyday life and pretending it hurts anyone, so it needs to be properly tagged is stupid.

 

As for swearing in games, sure, I don't mind it, as long as it is done properly. Swearing just for the sake of swearing (like Little Lamplight mayor in Fallout 3) is immature, laughable and childish.

In RL I swear like drunken sailor, a trait not uncommon to us finns. Thus I just love swearing in games, movies, TV shows, books... :ermm:

 

My absolute favourite scene in any medium from recent years is great dialogue between Al Swearengen and Mr. Wu from Deadwood tv series. Check it out

(from beginning till about 2 mins). I'd really enjoy that kind of writing in games done Mass Effect cinematic dialogue style.

I can't help but giggle whenever I hear things like 'knulla'. You all sound like demented fairies, and that's coming from an even worse sounding language.

 

 

Well, atleast we're not Finnish. Those guys have a weird friggin' language, its not even indo-european in origin like proper languages. Just alot of hakka-pakka-ykki-kykki :lol:

It's Finno-Ugric like Estonian, we kind of have a secret club.

 

Swedish sounds pretty weird to me as well, so take that!

I heard the Finns and the Hungarians are descendants from some eastern savages. That prolly explains their weird languages.
At least our kaiser didn't get his brain crushed by a horn, or get his nation's butt kicked by the same tactic for years/decades. Mongols btw. And turks. And everyone in between. Maybe some chinese and japs too.

Yes, but swearing ought to be immature, laughable, and childish. If I swear when I'm angry or in pain, I'm not giving a well-mannered discourse on the subject. If I swear at another person, I'm engaging in the verbal equivalent of poo flinging.

That is actually not far from truth. We were stupid enough to go very far east, then to north and all the way Ural mountains. After we found out that it we couldn't go more north (thanks glaciers), smarter Hungarians moved to west and south and away from massive ice sheet. We finns apparantly wanted to see what's under the ice and thus stayed near it. We loved the frosen wastelands and moved with the ice as it slowly melted away. Again more smarter people stayed behind. So, only fennoscandia and scandinavia remained frosen. Eventually all glacier ice was gone and we finns couldnt move more west because of Gulf of Bothnia. In the north there were Sami people (unfortunately we robbed southen parts of land from 'em) and Barents sea. That area became our home.

 

Europeans generally didnt bother with such long journey and found much nicer and warmer environment to live. As wikipedia puts it - "Finns are a genetic isolate. It could be said that all other Europeans have Finnish genes but Finns don't have all the genes found in other Europeans." Europeans got to live the good life (and Hungarians joined 'em bit later) while we tried to find the golden land. We didn't find anything but cold, dark isolated corner of the world.

 

Serves us right and one of the reasons why we curse so much.

:p

Criticising the swearing of those kids in Fallout 3 as being immature, laughable and childish is missing the point. Those kids swear for the same reason many kids in real life do, because they think it makes them seem more grown up, when it actually has the opposite effect.
