It's been said there's no such thing as bad publicity. But what about if the publicity is more like notoriety, and it's undeserved? We're talking about controversy. Video games and controversy are no strangers. They've been stuck with each other practically since the beginning. Sometimes, a game's controversy makes sense. But sometimes, the actual content of the game doesn't really rise to the level of outrage. Sometimes, a controversial game earns a notoriety it didn't deserve. That's what this episode is all about: Mike and Jed discussing games that were considered controversial, and really shouldn't have been. Violence, sexual content, lawsuits, gamer outrage, even manufactured by the developer ... all sorts of so-called controversies that were overblown, puffed-up, and otherwise ridiculous, one by one through the generations What are the best examples they could find? Only one way to find out -- listen!
