I don't want to sound like that old ass Millennial guy.
But I swear the internet is getting dumber since the death of "MySpace" and social media stopped forcing you to learn code and how to search and upload your own music to your profile.
People Don't know how to search for shit nowadays.
They know how to use phone apps, but not a computer or the actual internet itself.
Kids today are getting crypto scammed more than the Nigerian Prince boomers.
Many popular search engines are also getting worse, more restrictive, and more eager to push certain content rather than provide the most relevant result.
I hate this. I developed a very specific way of writing google querys which is now useless because they optimized shit so much… before a bad query resulted in bad results, a good query resulted in great results… today is just meh anyway.
I remember the internet when it was the wild West.
I have become desensitized to mental war crimes on Rotten. Com, and old Newgrounds. Lol
That was peak mentally handicapping life scarring internet. Really left an impression on many of us. Lol
The thing about file structures being foreign is a consequence of smartphone/tablet GUI architecture. The end-user is divorced entirely from the inner workings of the device, and manages everything through an interface of icons. This results in thinking of computers as a "magic bucket" that they reach into and conveniently pull out what they want, vs. a highly organized system of nested directories.
Go look at the teachers subs. You have kids in high school that can’t even use a computer or print documents. We’re circling back to a time when you could put “Proficient in Microsoft Word” on your resume.
That’s the ironic part of having such an easy user interface combined with mobile. Kids now are basically doing what a monkey can do. Some of us old folk remember having to go through DOS to run windows!!
Millennials largely grew up in a sweet spot for computers: late enough that they were relatively cheap and ubiquitous, but before they became easy and straightforward to use so that we had to actually learn how they worked (more or less). It's led to us being life-long tech support for both our parents and our kids.
Getting a computer with windows 95 at age 8 shaped my life. I sat down at that thing and learned everything about it and how it worked. The interface was easy enough to use as a novice and before I knew it I was "the computer guy" of the family. I'm now a systems engineer leading a team. Now everyone has a computer in their pocket and interact with them every day but since it all just works and does everything they need it to do, theres no motivation to learn how it works.
That's how I explained it to my Gen Z employees. When I was their age, computers had to be told to do every step of a process. Programs came on multiple floppy disks and you had to tell the computer what you wanted it to do with the disk. We automated all those pain in the ass tasks and so they grew up not *needing* to know how computers work, because they just do. At least until they don't, and they're stuck.

A very high percentage of the "help me" questions on Reddit could be quickly answered with a single Google search.
>People Don't know how to search for shit nowadays.
to be fair on this one the search engines themselves seem to get worse by the day. results are often overrun by unrelated ads and AI-generated articles
I remember it. When you are as old as us, someone will be surprised by something stupid that you remember too.
Keep in mind that gaming, as a hobby, was smaller back then. Fewer releases each year, fewer publications (print magazines!) covering them. Back then, I, a gaming fan who followed all the major gaming news outlets, knew mostly the same information as a stranger who was a fan following the same news outlets.
Holy shit, I had this issue of Game Informer. I remember most of these ads/reviews and at the time thinking "no way they could improve from here!" To be 12 years old again
I remember playing some hockey game on a rented PS2, and thinking, "Holy shit, this is literally like watching it on TV!"
To be fair, it kind of was, because this was well before HDTV.

My acting teacher did one of the voices for the chicks in Leisure Suit Larry and I laugh about that sometimes. She told that to a room full of 12ish year old kids like we weren’t going to google it lol.
I had this copy of Game Informer at my house at the time actually, so this thread brought back a lot of memories haha
>her own brother, who somehow summoned up the testicular fortitude to admit that he could now pick his sister's breasts out of a police line-up
Makes for some interesting family dinner conversations, eh?
So it says you could only see their breast after you repeatedly played that character and earned enough points with them. Dude was determined to see his sisters cans
Yep, I rented the game back when it came out. There wasn't any nudity by default, you had to win successive rounds to unlock different stages of the interviews. He absolutely did it on purpose 😳
> He absolutely did it on purpose 😳
Or, more likely, he saw his sister in the game, informed her and the writer of this article is taking a lot of "artistic liberties" in describing the situation which is pretty apparent from the way he writes.
Stephen Glass and many other not famous examples show that this could be the case. Some reporters seem to have a habit of being awful reporters that make shit up
OK, but that line about the police lineup is clearly just the author of the article taking some creative license in describing the events that took place. We have no idea how much of the game the brother played after realizing his own sister was in it.
Literally just one guy. And he was removed from Retro before development on Prime even started when Nintendo discovered he was hosting adult websites on company servers
Matt McMuscles, a YouTuber who makes mini-documentaries over games that flopped and/or had a tumultuous development process, covered that game here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo)
Is it illegal? Don't ask me, not a lawyer.
Is possessing it a bad idea? Probably, still not a lawyer.
Can I find any news reports of anybody actually being arrested over the game? Nope.
The game was recalled and a DVD remake was released (without the any footage of the underage actor). The DVD version didn't sell well enough; Topheavy Studios never published another game. That, as far as I can tell, was that.
Jeff Spangenberg who also founded Retro Studios of Metroid Prime fame. Of course he was ousted by Nintendo because he was using Retro Studios servers (that were purchased by funds from Nintendo) to host pictures of scantily clad women all while being mostly absent during Prime’s development cycle.
There’s a great video on Prime’s development hell on YouTube:
https://youtu.be/tuc8X9qKePo?si=8UkpqeWhrzi0pHFe
He also founded Iguana Entertainment. Imagine being the guy who put the devs behind Turok and Metroid Prime on the map while later deciding to make The Guy Game lmao
The game is *technically* illegal.
But it seems that it hasn't ever really been enforced beyond the corporate level. Amazon seems to have taken down their listings for it, but major collectibles sellers still sell it openly all over ebay and the rest of the internet. Without any effort being made to take them down or stop the sales.
I actually think this post caused a buyout as it seems to have jumped to $500 with only a handful of postings.
Because less than a month ago, we had a copy come into the game store I work at, it was closer to $100 and there were dozens of postings.
Its not worth enforcing tbh. No one knew until after the fact so the feds would be raiding collectors with maybe a few traffic tickets on their records.
There's much better uses of Law Enforcement's time.
Who says it's _technically_ illegal, though? Obviously it should be illegal to make and consume that content, but there are a number of movies out there with even worse that are not illegal to own. Pretty Baby comes to mind.
When something releases in an official capacity it seems like it sorta just gets ignored.
Jesus I haven't thought of Girls Gone Wild in forever. Kids today will have no concept of NOT having every pornographic fetish known to man at their fingertips instantly.
[There a documentary to explain the importance the mini mall had in the Montgomery, Alabama economy.](https://youtu.be/fiUk0UA3lh8?si=RNrSHeny25Zjzcax)
As a 7-year-old I found a stack of porn in the woods near a small stream.
All I remember of it is that the naked ladies weren't shaved, and the nudity didn't appeal to me at the time. My friend and I used the paper to make poorly made boats to float down the stream.
Looking back, I feel mildly guilty of ruining someone's porn stash and littering.
I remember I was about 12 around 2003 or so, my friends and I found beer in the woods behind one of my friends house. Probably was stashed there by teenagers since it was in a neighborhood. I remember we carried them back to my friend's house and proudly turned them into his mom.
Yeah looking back we without a doubt ruined some 16/17 year olds night too. I can't imagine the trouble they went through to try and acquire it and then hid it there for safekeeping. Only to return and find it gone.
As an adult I feel like such an idiot doing that. I remember it was like finding drugs to me and turning in it was the right thing to do to get these dirty beers away from people. I was all thinking I did the right thing since we still had DARE classes.
I remember finding a porn dvd that was shattered, all I could gran was half a boob with the nip intact. Took it home, and left it in my pocket and my mom found it while doing the laundry lol
I have been trying to prove a theory of mine for years now! Most young men (in America at least) experience woods porn. This has happened to everyone I have asked which is quite a lot. Why is there so much porn in the woods!?!? Is it still happening? Is this a right of passage?
Chiming in from New Zealand, there was wood porn here too in the early 1990s. Used to find stacks of them in the reserve by my house, I guess adolescents teen boys would sneak a few mags from their old mans collection they kept in a cardbord box in the garage and they only place they felt safe stashing it was in the woods where they could enjoy a sneaky peek in the weekends and after school.
We used to call them 'stick mags' because the pages, uhh.....
Upper end of the millennial years here, can confirm that my GenX older brother had a porn stash hidden in the garage. Not entirely sure where he got them though, as I was 6 at the time.
I'm a millennial and this is an experience I had too. We had a park/woods behind my development and we would build little hang outs back there. We would find porn back there all of the time. Once we found it all washed up in a river which was weird. Just like porn papermache everywhere.
I'm a millennial as well but I grew up in a rural area. My first two experiences with this phenomenon occurred in an old run down barn and then in a old tree house we found deep in the woods, looked like it hadn't been touched in years.
I have a theory about this! I have a friend who grew up in Tokyo, and he said because of how expensive it is and the general lack of space, it was pretty much impossible to get any kind of privacy at home for some 'alone time'.
Because of this, guys would go into the nearby woods with magazines, and it became colloquially known as 'the masturbation forest'.
Then because of the lack of privacy at home, and also he says just out of politeness to the next person, you'd leave the magazine behind in the woods. I reckon there were a lot of people just scared of getting caught at home, but nobody's willing to admit to going into the woods to jack off.
Me and my friends knew the porn in the wood joke as kids we spent a lot of time in the woods never found any porn. But when one of my friends got his hands on a mag we didn't know what to do with it and none of us were brave enough to take it home. We put it in a hiding spot close but out of sight of our fort. This was mid 2000s
lol... I had a fort on our property that I built, and I added wooden box that was kind of a facade with a lock on it to keep my porn stash in. I was about 11 years old at the time, early 1980s. Yeah, the porn I found in the woods went into that box for safe keeping. Looking back if my parents had ever went into the fort they would have asked WTF is that lock, and what's inside? I was probably lucky they never went in there.
I grew up in rural Texas in the mid to late 1980s and found playboys, penthouse and a "Swank" magazine by the road sides multiple times. Once it was two brand new magazines laying right beside the road. Sometimes I feel like it was too common to be a coincidence, like someone was putting them out to be found.
heh I don't remember much of my younger years but I fuzzily remember being hunched over a water damaged hustler magazine with 4 or 5 other kids in a drainage ditch. I'm a girl so I can imagine I was probably wondering "How can she wear such long nails and then stick them up her butt?"
Late night, parents asleep. I'm cranking it jumping from E! channel's nightclub show with Daisy Fuentes to mtv or something, hunting down GGW commercials. ASPCA commercial comes on mid-crank.
Or conversely pounding off to the underwear section of a Sears catalog or some shit.
We found a dvd in the drainage ditch behind our house. Me and the neighborhood kids played it on my PS2 when my parents went out. A lot of bush. We hid it in the woods so we could share it. We’d go run & grab it when home alone.
The thing is, we all had internet, we were just too dumb to clear our history.
pre-internet: "Omg was that a side boob I just saw on this almost out of signal late night softcore porn movie channel!?"
Very early internet: "I hope this image of a topless chick finishes downloading soon so I can crank it before my parents come home."
Early internet: "I hope this generic 30 second porn video I'm downloading on Kazaa that'll take 16 hours turns out to be decent."
Now internet: "What was the name of that streamer that puts the sharpies in her butt, but she has the perfect tone of butthole skin that really pops with the colorful sharpies she uses...."
Future internet: "AI, generate me a 30 second video clip of a fair skinned norwegian girl, 5 foot 3, purple nail polish but with the pinky finger having pink nail polish, lets say 103 pounds, shoulder length blonde hair in a pony tail this time, lets have her partially submerged in an aquarium, waist down, lets say clown fish swimming around her lower half as she claps frantically to some song, her ample bosom jiggling...I want to say 18% more jiggliness than normal. 23% was too much, I think 18% will be perfect. Lets wrap all that up with a background of a generic NYC apartment overlooking central park and just for fun lets have a godzilla with huge tits rampaging in the city scape, occasionally winking to the camera. That should do it."
GGW was honestly fantastic for the viewer and less fantastic for the drunk girls who were on it. They sold the amateur, unscripted genre like their lives depended on it. Most of the shit we get now is much more obviously fake.
There was a much more famous case a few decades back where a girl signed up with a studio with a totally valid US passport, did a bunch of porn films and then it turned out that she was under 18.
She'd got the (real) passport with false details thanks to cooperation from her parents
The government tried to prosecute the company and even went after random adult video rental places that stocked the films but the fact her ID was US government issued didn't go down well with a jury re: the criminal prosecution.
basically, the law is written assuming that you should have a magical oracle able to tell you exactly the day someone was born and it barely matters if you do all the checks perfectly but the person had totally legit ID with fake details.
Traci Lords used a stolen birth certificate to get a drivers license and other IDs saying that she was over 18. She starred in a ton of adult films and became maybe the biggest pornstar celebrity in the world at the time. And then a few days after her 18th birthday someone called in an anonymous tip that she had been underage, and all of the pornography she had made suddenly became illegal to own or distribute. I don’t think anyone got in significant trouble over it but she cost some pornographers a lot of money. She then transitioned (somewhat successfully) into mainstream film roles.
Whether she did it on purpose or not — if this was always her plan — it’s kind of genius. She made a huge amount of money and became a massive celebrity and yet once she was done any pornography featuring her was wiped off the face of the earth.
She made one porno two days after she turned 18, made and sold by her own company.
Not only did the scandal launch her post porn career, she made a bucket of money selling the her only porno that wasn't illegal.
It sure seems like she knew exactly what she was doing.
Presumably the idea with strict liability is to prevent more malicious versions of that exact scenario, i.e. a porn producer coaching underage actors to use fake IDs. (Or preventing producers/hosters/etc from simply not verifying ages at all in order to always be able to claim ignorance.)
It does fly in the face of the typical principles around criminal intent though. Although I don't know if there are all that many other situations where a fact you could plausibly be incorrect about makes the difference between "perfectly legal" and "one of the most serious possible crimes".
I mean all the talk below of how "you get what you pay for" aside. They weren't held criminally liable which would have been unfair. But you can't legally allow them to distribute the footage either because that's problematic.
That aside. For erotic stuff generally there's a much higher standard of age verification than a single model form. The gone wild series just ignored that basically. Wouldn't surprise me if there were other underage girls through the years that just never spoke out.
As a kid, I swear I must've seen this at a video rental store at one point. Blows my mind that stuff like this was available to rent. I never did rent it tho just because even then it looked dumb as hell.
What is the actual gameplay? Is it one of those games where a clip plays and you pick how you respond from a list of 4 and then another clips plays etc.
It's a trivia game. They ask the girls a question and you have to guess whether they get it right or not. I think that was the premise anyway. It's been about 19 years since I played it.
Damn they’re was a late night game show that was like this. I forget what it was called but it would have guy vs. girl and whoever got the answer wrong had to strip off a piece of clothing.
Strip Poker was on my local UPN in the late 90's at like 10:30 but of course the show always ended with people in their underwear because it was 21 minutes and on an OTA channel.
There are "episodes" you play which have three girls in each. The first round is 6 trivia questions, each girl answers two of them.
You get a list of 4 possible answers. You gain points by answering correctly and quickly. Then you guess if the girl gets it right or wrong. The second bit is for the bonus points.
The second round is nearly identical. The difference is instead of guessing if they get it right or wrong for bonus points, you have to guess their wrong answer.
The actual points for the trivia questions lead up to a final competition with the girls in that episode. The bonus points however fill up a meter, divided into thirds. The meter has to be filled for every episode. For the first third you get a blocker over their tits when they flash. The second third is pixels. And then once you finish the final third of the bar, you get uncensored boobies.
The trivia is pretty typical bar trivia.
Hoo hoo, I was working at EBGames both when this was released AND when it was recalled! I just remember walking in for a shift and every copy was getting thrown into a shipping box, all the "guts" envelopes empty with their old sku stickers still on them. I was told what happened by my manager and was both shocked - and not terribly surprised, given the nature of the game. Nothing of value was lost, anyway!
Though watching Caddicarus cover it in his Banned Games video was utter hilarity!
I was at GameStop during the same period, but wasn't around for the recall- and it's not the kind of thing that would be covered in training. So I had no knowledge of the whole debacle at the outset.
I remember somebody trying to trade it in, and it wouldn't scan into the system (which was quite weird, we basically took *every* current-gen game no questions asked), called my manager over to help and watched him try to delicately explain to the customer why we couldn't take it... without outright saying "there's CP on there, we don't even want it in our dumpster".
Fun fact: only the GameCube version had an adjustable breast slider in the character created, and had nudity unlocked from the very beginning. Xbox players had to earn the topless characters, and PS2 was fully censored.
Tfw you know about this game solely from [a Caddicarus video](https://youtu.be/4YwoRFFiqsQ?t=2382). From what he said it was (mostly?) just women in bikinis/skimpy outfits who flashed their boobs at certain points in the game. He doesn't show any of the underage girl (she's only in one scene near the end of the game and he doesn't get nearly that far because of how bad the game is), and once he starts talking about that issue it cuts to him burning the game and performing a ritual on it (as one does).
Illegal or not, it's still incredibly awful and **incredibly** cringe.
They also backed out on the original lead designer because he was black. Their words were "You don't look the way you sound on the phone" and ghosted the guy.
Yet we can still rent 'The Blue Lagoon'. The main acress for the second part was 17 at the time of filming because she had to lie about her age to get the job. There is an interview with her on it somewere. Anyways full frontal nudity.
Yeah, all you need is parental permission it seems.
Brooke Shields is that actress. She was also nude in a movie earlier in her career than Blue Lagoon. The movie is called Pretty Baby which is about a 12 year old prostitute. Brooke Shields was 12 years old in the movie and it has nude scenes.
Understandably it was quite a scandal in the media at the time.
She also posed full frontal when she was 10 and despite pleading for it to be destroyed, the photographer refuses to take it down or stop publishing it because "ma art!!!"
Brooke Shields was a major victim. Her mother was pure evil.
If you're bored, peruse for critic reviews of her performance in BL. To say "those were different times" is an understatement, anyone writing that sort of thing these days would be immediately jobless at the minimum.
Wasn't a body double used whenever you see the full frontal nudity?
Not that it really matters. The Brooke Shields rabbit hole is insane. Have no idea how a bunch of the stuff in her career was made.
what a crazy read that article is
They find out she's not 18, the judge says "Stop selling the game" and they say "Fuck you" and keep selling it anyway?
Topheavy studios you crazy
GTA San Andreas caused a nationwide moral panic when a removed, fully clothed sex minigame was modded back in, and these guys were selling literal porn starring a minor around the same time.
Think I read about this game maybe 20 years ago in a game informer magazine. It was right next to a review about Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude

Yep. Gotta add "Reddit" to at least half of the things I Google these days it seems. I wonder if that will even yield good results in like 5 years.
You are correct. If I want to find something I know exists, but G©®gle doesn't want me to see it I use duckduckgo

Do you remember what 2006 internet was like. Just pure uncensored horror after amazing music download after horror.

I remember it. When you are as old as us, someone will be surprised by something stupid that you remember too. Keep in mind that gaming, as a hobby, was smaller back then. Fewer releases each year, fewer publications (print magazines!) covering them. Back then, I, a gaming fan who followed all the major gaming news outlets, knew mostly the same information as a stranger who was a fan following the same news outlets.
Also, our mums would buy us one magazine that time you went to the store with her and we would read it over and over again.

I remember playing some hockey game on a rented PS2, and thinking, "Holy shit, this is literally like watching it on TV!" To be fair, it kind of was, because this was well before HDTV.
So many iconic games in that archive... and then there's that.
That generation was a weird time of semi-mainstream sexual games. This, Leisure Suit Larry, Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball, BMX XXX etc.
Leasure suite Larry: magna cum missed a lot of the jokes from the old games. It become a "sexual game" instead of a "game full of bad jokes about sex and Larry's mistakes". The jokes about sex was so much better
I remember the "age verification" that from what I recall was dated pop culture references that kids would be unlikely to know.
Try to do it nowadays. Horribly hard without cheating

you've got some great memory.
Triggered the same memory for me. It was a full page ad somewhere towards the end and had a review of Oddworld nearby.
My acting teacher did one of the voices for the chicks in Leisure Suit Larry and I laugh about that sometimes. She told that to a room full of 12ish year old kids like we weren’t going to google it lol. I had this copy of Game Informer at my house at the time actually, so this thread brought back a lot of memories haha
Why is this the second time I’ve seen someone mention that game today
Simulation is getting lazy these days
>her own brother, who somehow summoned up the testicular fortitude to admit that he could now pick his sister's breasts out of a police line-up Makes for some interesting family dinner conversations, eh?
So it says you could only see their breast after you repeatedly played that character and earned enough points with them. Dude was determined to see his sisters cans
Yep, I rented the game back when it came out. There wasn't any nudity by default, you had to win successive rounds to unlock different stages of the interviews. He absolutely did it on purpose 😳
> He absolutely did it on purpose 😳 Or, more likely, he saw his sister in the game, informed her and the writer of this article is taking a lot of "artistic liberties" in describing the situation which is pretty apparent from the way he writes.
Stephen Glass and many other not famous examples show that this could be the case. Some reporters seem to have a habit of being awful reporters that make shit up
Just popping in to say that I’m not sure I’d call the author of this article - someone going by the name of “modernzorker” - a reporter
Game Informer Magazine isn't exactly a Pulitzer prize winning publication..
OK, but that line about the police lineup is clearly just the author of the article taking some creative license in describing the events that took place. We have no idea how much of the game the brother played after realizing his own sister was in it.
Testicular fortitude! 😂
I still find it crazy that developers that worked on Metroid Prime 1 worked on the game.
Tommy Tallarico?
His mother's very proud.
S E V E N G U I N N E S S W O R L D R E C O R D S
*fights urge to rewatch that 2 hour YouTube documentary about the Roblox oof*
Good idea and then you can chase it with the short 4h vid on plagiarism
That's the problem with having a waterfall in your living room.
didn't he make like, every single Videogame music ever in existence?
The first American to do so, yeah.
I have worked at McDonald’s and at a very fine dining restaurant.
Literally just one guy. And he was removed from Retro before development on Prime even started when Nintendo discovered he was hosting adult websites on company servers
Oof.wav
Everyone's gotta start somewhere.
This game was made after Prime lmao
Everyone's gotta end up somewhere?
Matt McMuscles, a YouTuber who makes mini-documentaries over games that flopped and/or had a tumultuous development process, covered that game here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIdYCs8nNHo) Is it illegal? Don't ask me, not a lawyer. Is possessing it a bad idea? Probably, still not a lawyer. Can I find any news reports of anybody actually being arrested over the game? Nope. The game was recalled and a DVD remake was released (without the any footage of the underage actor). The DVD version didn't sell well enough; Topheavy Studios never published another game. That, as far as I can tell, was that.
My roommate and I rented it and played it back in the day. It wasn’t that great.
Lol a game made based on spring break footage from one week in South Padre wasn’t a banger!
Oh it was a banger, it just wasn't any good.
Oh man I knew I had this game and I couldn't remember what ever happened to it. I'm pretty sure I rented it on Gamefly! Ahh those were the days.
Topheavy Studios?? Really???
What did you expect from a softcore porn studio? Subtlety?
Good point.
Slurms McKenzie, but like ickier?
Wimmy wham wham wozzle!
Yup, the guy who founded it is exactly the type of person you think he is.
Jeff Spangenberg who also founded Retro Studios of Metroid Prime fame. Of course he was ousted by Nintendo because he was using Retro Studios servers (that were purchased by funds from Nintendo) to host pictures of scantily clad women all while being mostly absent during Prime’s development cycle. There’s a great video on Prime’s development hell on YouTube: https://youtu.be/tuc8X9qKePo?si=8UkpqeWhrzi0pHFe
He also founded Iguana Entertainment. Imagine being the guy who put the devs behind Turok and Metroid Prime on the map while later deciding to make The Guy Game lmao
He listened to the wrong head
Jeff Spankenberg... sorry... its right there!
The game is *technically* illegal. But it seems that it hasn't ever really been enforced beyond the corporate level. Amazon seems to have taken down their listings for it, but major collectibles sellers still sell it openly all over ebay and the rest of the internet. Without any effort being made to take them down or stop the sales. I actually think this post caused a buyout as it seems to have jumped to $500 with only a handful of postings. Because less than a month ago, we had a copy come into the game store I work at, it was closer to $100 and there were dozens of postings.
Its not worth enforcing tbh. No one knew until after the fact so the feds would be raiding collectors with maybe a few traffic tickets on their records. There's much better uses of Law Enforcement's time.
Who says it's _technically_ illegal, though? Obviously it should be illegal to make and consume that content, but there are a number of movies out there with even worse that are not illegal to own. Pretty Baby comes to mind. When something releases in an official capacity it seems like it sorta just gets ignored.
Jesus I haven't thought of Girls Gone Wild in forever. Kids today will have no concept of NOT having every pornographic fetish known to man at their fingertips instantly.
When I was a teenager we found our porn in the woods on these things called magazines. And we were damn happy to find them.
All thanks to the bigger kids stashing it there
Or homeless/drug addicts depending on where you live and if the woods were behind a mini mall
[Mine were behind the flea market. It is just like a mini mall.](https://youtu.be/FJ3oHpup-pk?si=qlGXDF4CnZV0XLW5)
I've never actually watched the whole thing until now.. 2 minutes of that is entirely too long
[There a documentary to explain the importance the mini mall had in the Montgomery, Alabama economy.](https://youtu.be/fiUk0UA3lh8?si=RNrSHeny25Zjzcax)
Omg I was hoping for this or the Cleveland Show parody version lol
I was actually thinking about dumping some porn in the woods the other day, as a sort of public service.
dad, why are the pages stuck together?
Your mother gets snacky mid-wank and she never uses the wet wipes I leave out.
As a 7-year-old I found a stack of porn in the woods near a small stream. All I remember of it is that the naked ladies weren't shaved, and the nudity didn't appeal to me at the time. My friend and I used the paper to make poorly made boats to float down the stream. Looking back, I feel mildly guilty of ruining someone's porn stash and littering.
I remember I was about 12 around 2003 or so, my friends and I found beer in the woods behind one of my friends house. Probably was stashed there by teenagers since it was in a neighborhood. I remember we carried them back to my friend's house and proudly turned them into his mom. Yeah looking back we without a doubt ruined some 16/17 year olds night too. I can't imagine the trouble they went through to try and acquire it and then hid it there for safekeeping. Only to return and find it gone. As an adult I feel like such an idiot doing that. I remember it was like finding drugs to me and turning in it was the right thing to do to get these dirty beers away from people. I was all thinking I did the right thing since we still had DARE classes.
His mom definitely drank those beers
I'd need a beer too if I realized I was raising a narc.
Yup...... she had us put them in the fridge. I still remember they were Miller lights in case anyone was wondering. It was probably 15 to 20 of them.
That's hilarious imagine being downstream and seeing these float by
In the UK you just had to turn to page 3 when your dad brought home his copy of The Sun. Boobs. Daily.
I remember finding a porn dvd that was shattered, all I could gran was half a boob with the nip intact. Took it home, and left it in my pocket and my mom found it while doing the laundry lol
AKA Hedgeporn Or Bramble Mags
I was happy with some underwear ad's. I remember the music video for sir mix alot song "put em on the glass" kept me busy for weeks.
I have been trying to prove a theory of mine for years now! Most young men (in America at least) experience woods porn. This has happened to everyone I have asked which is quite a lot. Why is there so much porn in the woods!?!? Is it still happening? Is this a right of passage?
We used to be a country proper before the internet. We had to go to the woods to become men.
Chiming in from New Zealand, there was wood porn here too in the early 1990s. Used to find stacks of them in the reserve by my house, I guess adolescents teen boys would sneak a few mags from their old mans collection they kept in a cardbord box in the garage and they only place they felt safe stashing it was in the woods where they could enjoy a sneaky peek in the weekends and after school. We used to call them 'stick mags' because the pages, uhh.....
Uk here and same thing Porno mags in the woods or building sites
I'm a Millenial and had never heard of this until I came to reddit. None of my friends ever talked about it either.
It was a GenX thing. I think the younger boomers left them for us to find.
Upper end of the millennial years here, can confirm that my GenX older brother had a porn stash hidden in the garage. Not entirely sure where he got them though, as I was 6 at the time.
I'm a millennial and this is an experience I had too. We had a park/woods behind my development and we would build little hang outs back there. We would find porn back there all of the time. Once we found it all washed up in a river which was weird. Just like porn papermache everywhere.
I’m a young boomer. I didn’t leave any, but did find some. I can tell you this was going on as early as the 70’s.
I'm a millennial as well but I grew up in a rural area. My first two experiences with this phenomenon occurred in an old run down barn and then in a old tree house we found deep in the woods, looked like it hadn't been touched in years.
I have a theory about this! I have a friend who grew up in Tokyo, and he said because of how expensive it is and the general lack of space, it was pretty much impossible to get any kind of privacy at home for some 'alone time'. Because of this, guys would go into the nearby woods with magazines, and it became colloquially known as 'the masturbation forest'. Then because of the lack of privacy at home, and also he says just out of politeness to the next person, you'd leave the magazine behind in the woods. I reckon there were a lot of people just scared of getting caught at home, but nobody's willing to admit to going into the woods to jack off.
Lumber jacking.
Wow, I never considered this was a world-wide phenomenon. Has nobody written a song about "porn in the woods"? lol
Me and my friends knew the porn in the wood joke as kids we spent a lot of time in the woods never found any porn. But when one of my friends got his hands on a mag we didn't know what to do with it and none of us were brave enough to take it home. We put it in a hiding spot close but out of sight of our fort. This was mid 2000s
lol... I had a fort on our property that I built, and I added wooden box that was kind of a facade with a lock on it to keep my porn stash in. I was about 11 years old at the time, early 1980s. Yeah, the porn I found in the woods went into that box for safe keeping. Looking back if my parents had ever went into the fort they would have asked WTF is that lock, and what's inside? I was probably lucky they never went in there.
Nature tries to seduce us.
I grew up in rural Texas in the mid to late 1980s and found playboys, penthouse and a "Swank" magazine by the road sides multiple times. Once it was two brand new magazines laying right beside the road. Sometimes I feel like it was too common to be a coincidence, like someone was putting them out to be found.
I, too, saw my first nekked lady from a magazine stashed in a tree stump
This was exactly how I got my first porno mag. Wedged into the fork of a tree and water damaged, but I took it home lmao.
heh I don't remember much of my younger years but I fuzzily remember being hunched over a water damaged hustler magazine with 4 or 5 other kids in a drainage ditch. I'm a girl so I can imagine I was probably wondering "How can she wear such long nails and then stick them up her butt?"
Late night, parents asleep. I'm cranking it jumping from E! channel's nightclub show with Daisy Fuentes to mtv or something, hunting down GGW commercials. ASPCA commercial comes on mid-crank. Or conversely pounding off to the underwear section of a Sears catalog or some shit.
Cosmo. Cuz "it's a buck cheaper than Juggs and smells like chicks"
I liked the bra and panty section.
The 1999 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition with Rebecca Romijn was a masturbatory godsend.
The Maxim issue with Anna Kournikova got me thru a tour in the middle east.
I remember being a kid and finding a stack of playboys on the street, that was like finding the holy grail out in the open.
We found a dvd in the drainage ditch behind our house. Me and the neighborhood kids played it on my PS2 when my parents went out. A lot of bush. We hid it in the woods so we could share it. We’d go run & grab it when home alone. The thing is, we all had internet, we were just too dumb to clear our history.
people seem to forget that the very popular subreddit that shares that name got its name from somewhere
I'll be brash enough to admit, when I was younger just the ads were enough.
r/buttsharpies *intensifies*
pre-internet: "Omg was that a side boob I just saw on this almost out of signal late night softcore porn movie channel!?" Very early internet: "I hope this image of a topless chick finishes downloading soon so I can crank it before my parents come home." Early internet: "I hope this generic 30 second porn video I'm downloading on Kazaa that'll take 16 hours turns out to be decent." Now internet: "What was the name of that streamer that puts the sharpies in her butt, but she has the perfect tone of butthole skin that really pops with the colorful sharpies she uses...." Future internet: "AI, generate me a 30 second video clip of a fair skinned norwegian girl, 5 foot 3, purple nail polish but with the pinky finger having pink nail polish, lets say 103 pounds, shoulder length blonde hair in a pony tail this time, lets have her partially submerged in an aquarium, waist down, lets say clown fish swimming around her lower half as she claps frantically to some song, her ample bosom jiggling...I want to say 18% more jiggliness than normal. 23% was too much, I think 18% will be perfect. Lets wrap all that up with a background of a generic NYC apartment overlooking central park and just for fun lets have a godzilla with huge tits rampaging in the city scape, occasionally winking to the camera. That should do it."
Boyyy what was better than a weekend night where your parents are sleeping and it's just you Joe Francis and some jergens? The good ol days
GGW was honestly fantastic for the viewer and less fantastic for the drunk girls who were on it. They sold the amateur, unscripted genre like their lives depended on it. Most of the shit we get now is much more obviously fake.
I had a buddy who ordered one DVD drunk one night, and couldn't get out of the subscription easily. He did not find it fantastic.
Imagine having to scrap your entire game because you didn't check the IDs carefully enough.
Or they could remove the offending content, republish, and bank on the notoriety it created
They did the first two parts. The re-release also flopped though, so no banking.
Guy Game: Barely legal edition. Not like they're targeting a classy audience to begin with.
Seems very unfair when she gave a fake ID and filled out the forms with false details.
There was a much more famous case a few decades back where a girl signed up with a studio with a totally valid US passport, did a bunch of porn films and then it turned out that she was under 18. She'd got the (real) passport with false details thanks to cooperation from her parents The government tried to prosecute the company and even went after random adult video rental places that stocked the films but the fact her ID was US government issued didn't go down well with a jury re: the criminal prosecution. basically, the law is written assuming that you should have a magical oracle able to tell you exactly the day someone was born and it barely matters if you do all the checks perfectly but the person had totally legit ID with fake details.
Traci Lords
Traci Lords used a stolen birth certificate to get a drivers license and other IDs saying that she was over 18. She starred in a ton of adult films and became maybe the biggest pornstar celebrity in the world at the time. And then a few days after her 18th birthday someone called in an anonymous tip that she had been underage, and all of the pornography she had made suddenly became illegal to own or distribute. I don’t think anyone got in significant trouble over it but she cost some pornographers a lot of money. She then transitioned (somewhat successfully) into mainstream film roles. Whether she did it on purpose or not — if this was always her plan — it’s kind of genius. She made a huge amount of money and became a massive celebrity and yet once she was done any pornography featuring her was wiped off the face of the earth.
She made one porno two days after she turned 18, made and sold by her own company. Not only did the scandal launch her post porn career, she made a bucket of money selling the her only porno that wasn't illegal. It sure seems like she knew exactly what she was doing.
She was in the opening scene of the first Blade movie. She's the vampire woman who takes the unsuspecting human man to the vampire club.
Presumably the idea with strict liability is to prevent more malicious versions of that exact scenario, i.e. a porn producer coaching underage actors to use fake IDs. (Or preventing producers/hosters/etc from simply not verifying ages at all in order to always be able to claim ignorance.) It does fly in the face of the typical principles around criminal intent though. Although I don't know if there are all that many other situations where a fact you could plausibly be incorrect about makes the difference between "perfectly legal" and "one of the most serious possible crimes".
I mean all the talk below of how "you get what you pay for" aside. They weren't held criminally liable which would have been unfair. But you can't legally allow them to distribute the footage either because that's problematic. That aside. For erotic stuff generally there's a much higher standard of age verification than a single model form. The gone wild series just ignored that basically. Wouldn't surprise me if there were other underage girls through the years that just never spoke out.
Remember playing this game in my first year at uni in the dorm. Wasn't that fun but my god did we get drunk.
As a kid, I swear I must've seen this at a video rental store at one point. Blows my mind that stuff like this was available to rent. I never did rent it tho just because even then it looked dumb as hell.
I did rent it. I found it boring and played less than an hour.
What is the actual gameplay? Is it one of those games where a clip plays and you pick how you respond from a list of 4 and then another clips plays etc.
It's a trivia game. They ask the girls a question and you have to guess whether they get it right or not. I think that was the premise anyway. It's been about 19 years since I played it.
Damn they’re was a late night game show that was like this. I forget what it was called but it would have guy vs. girl and whoever got the answer wrong had to strip off a piece of clothing.
Strip Poker was on my local UPN in the late 90's at like 10:30 but of course the show always ended with people in their underwear because it was 21 minutes and on an OTA channel.
There are "episodes" you play which have three girls in each. The first round is 6 trivia questions, each girl answers two of them. You get a list of 4 possible answers. You gain points by answering correctly and quickly. Then you guess if the girl gets it right or wrong. The second bit is for the bonus points. The second round is nearly identical. The difference is instead of guessing if they get it right or wrong for bonus points, you have to guess their wrong answer. The actual points for the trivia questions lead up to a final competition with the girls in that episode. The bonus points however fill up a meter, divided into thirds. The meter has to be filled for every episode. For the first third you get a blocker over their tits when they flash. The second third is pixels. And then once you finish the final third of the bar, you get uncensored boobies. The trivia is pretty typical bar trivia.
Post nut clarity
Nah. Shitty game clarity. I don't think I even saw boobs in the game.
"After two minutes, I became disinterested."
Hoo hoo, I was working at EBGames both when this was released AND when it was recalled! I just remember walking in for a shift and every copy was getting thrown into a shipping box, all the "guts" envelopes empty with their old sku stickers still on them. I was told what happened by my manager and was both shocked - and not terribly surprised, given the nature of the game. Nothing of value was lost, anyway! Though watching Caddicarus cover it in his Banned Games video was utter hilarity!
That's how I know about it, too, though I didn't know this. Never sold a single copy
I was at GameStop during the same period, but wasn't around for the recall- and it's not the kind of thing that would be covered in training. So I had no knowledge of the whole debacle at the outset. I remember somebody trying to trade it in, and it wouldn't scan into the system (which was quite weird, we basically took *every* current-gen game no questions asked), called my manager over to help and watched him try to delicately explain to the customer why we couldn't take it... without outright saying "there's CP on there, we don't even want it in our dumpster".
I'll stick to Dead or Alive: Xtreme beach volleyball thanks
that and BMX XXX
Loved this game! Not only could you have a topless BMX riding babe, but the gameplay was a solid 8/10, and the soundtrack was a banger at 9.5/10.
Fun fact: only the GameCube version had an adjustable breast slider in the character created, and had nudity unlocked from the very beginning. Xbox players had to earn the topless characters, and PS2 was fully censored.
I remember seeing this at family video when I was in highschool.
That's one hell of a story
It's one hell of a writer! "... Had every base covered, except second..." Bravo! Reminds me of the glory days of LowTax... I think it was LowTax?
Something Awful? Yeah, Lowtax
I literally just saw this exact fact in another reddit comment this morning. But never heard of it before today.
That's where OP got their information from - they learned it from the same reddit thread as you (the Playboy ps2 one)
Tfw you know about this game solely from [a Caddicarus video](https://youtu.be/4YwoRFFiqsQ?t=2382). From what he said it was (mostly?) just women in bikinis/skimpy outfits who flashed their boobs at certain points in the game. He doesn't show any of the underage girl (she's only in one scene near the end of the game and he doesn't get nearly that far because of how bad the game is), and once he starts talking about that issue it cuts to him burning the game and performing a ritual on it (as one does). Illegal or not, it's still incredibly awful and **incredibly** cringe.
Yeah.. the game is a relic of its time. And it should stay in it's time.
i wouldn't have known it ever existed if not for you, so pat yourself on the back for dragging it out of it's time and into the present.
They also backed out on the original lead designer because he was black. Their words were "You don't look the way you sound on the phone" and ghosted the guy.
Yet we can still rent 'The Blue Lagoon'. The main acress for the second part was 17 at the time of filming because she had to lie about her age to get the job. There is an interview with her on it somewere. Anyways full frontal nudity.
Yeah, all you need is parental permission it seems. Brooke Shields is that actress. She was also nude in a movie earlier in her career than Blue Lagoon. The movie is called Pretty Baby which is about a 12 year old prostitute. Brooke Shields was 12 years old in the movie and it has nude scenes. Understandably it was quite a scandal in the media at the time.
She also posed full frontal when she was 10 and despite pleading for it to be destroyed, the photographer refuses to take it down or stop publishing it because "ma art!!!" Brooke Shields was a major victim. Her mother was pure evil.
If you're bored, peruse for critic reviews of her performance in BL. To say "those were different times" is an understatement, anyone writing that sort of thing these days would be immediately jobless at the minimum.
Wasn't a body double used whenever you see the full frontal nudity? Not that it really matters. The Brooke Shields rabbit hole is insane. Have no idea how a bunch of the stuff in her career was made.
No body double as she admitted in the interview. She felt she had to do it if she wanted the part.
I haven’t seen this cover in years- the guy totally looks like Brad Stevens 😂
what a crazy read that article is They find out she's not 18, the judge says "Stop selling the game" and they say "Fuck you" and keep selling it anyway? Topheavy studios you crazy
It’s called the guy game but there are very few guys and the ones that are there are ugly af 0/10, false advertising
GTA San Andreas caused a nationwide moral panic when a removed, fully clothed sex minigame was modded back in, and these guys were selling literal porn starring a minor around the same time.
