Well, not rape specifically; but just how violent video games (And perhaps other games such as this) can affect someone's personality/delinquency/criminal activity etc. (Or not, as it may be).
Very disturbing, but the thing is, the market must be there in Japan for them to even consider making the game.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not the sort to say that what you see on tv or play in a game is gonna make you behave a certain way, but in a case like this... i think it's more disturbing that you'd ever imagine playing the game in the first place.

Killing people is a pretty accepted staple of video games. Violently inserting your digital penis into crying schoolgirls isn't. GTA may have sex in it, but at least it's consensual.

the original gta didnt deserve the 18 cert when you consider the "realism" it has today.
*excuse this rant, just typing out some ideas as they come up really*
I first played GTA when I went round to my dad's mate who was a copper, I must have been 12 or something. Ive had every one since, except the most recent.. but thats to do with financial issues and generaly being sick of sandbox games.
I gues the reason GTA has the 18 cert is because of the openess to kill/do what you want, the gore in it is pretty panto, yet the gore in somethig like call of duty world at war is fairly sick. CODwow has a 15 cert.
Theyve made a moral judgment that murder in war in more vivid terms is less 'harmfull' to younger minds than having a choice to murder in a fairly un gory fashion.
Games like COD4 and GTA play on the baser human fantasies about violence and war etc. which since time imemorial weve been expressing through stories (beowulf)through to films. Whos side are you on when you watch the Godfather? Saving Private Ryan? You side with the protagonist, you see them in terms of their circumstances, when you leave the cinema though your in your own circumstances.
This is worrying though, not least because of its sick content, because there isn't a history of culturaly glorifying this kind of thing, so it isnt something the vast majority of people can relate to? I gues its trying to play off ideas of power and control for young japanese lads that feel isolated and socialy castrated? I know theres alot of issues in Japanese youth culture? Is that a healthy thing to be exploring in this way though?
I dont think a game like this would contribute to some one turning into a rapist? (weve been discussing this kind of thing in uni in regards to a clockwork orange) But it certainly would allow some one allready on that path to push ans test and act out on their impulses?

""Mr Vaz said: “It is intolerable that anyone would purchase a game that simulates the criminal offence of rape."
What about the crime of carjacking, or murder, or soliciting?
I don't really want to play devil's advocate here but that statement kind of stood out as absurd. Why is this virtual crime any worse than another?

yeah and if you could upload pics of your friends.
I had an idea for facebook that allows you to select a friend, upload a pic of them to the game, film you raping them virtually then post a notification on their wall "zomg! you've been raped! click here to see who raped you and rape them back!".

namely, chics.
I take your point that GTA etc. enable you to fuck and fillet ladies of negotiable hospitality, but it's not the aim of the game and probably not the explicit reason (most) people buy it.
Dunno if violent computer games create violent individuals. But if I were a lady prostitute I think I would be a lot more distressed to know people were buying this than GTA.

basically, by taking out a filter.
I'd assume that it works on more expensive CCD cameras too, they all use silicon.
Edit: www.kailashnadh.name/docs/ir_cam/ir_cam.html
although I have no idea what an "X-ray filter" is. I can imagine anything which passes IR light and blocks visible will do, like the filter on an old remote control (or the cover over the remote control sensor on the front of your TV).
Nothing might do also, but then you get a picture of the visible light too.

1. A digital camera capable of IR. They are expensive.
or
2. An old film camera without IR filters, and some IR film. Relatively cheap.
If you go for (1) I think there are only a couple of options. Fuji did an IR+UV version of their S3 Pro, but it cost a fortune. Can't think of anything more modern off the top of my head.
If you do UV stuff as well you generally need absurdly expensive quartz lenses - best to stick with IR.
I think it helps to have an IR or UV filter as well, but I don't think it is essential.

go on ebay and buy an olympus c2000z(mine was £12)
get a hoya r72 filter and an adapter to make it fit to the oly (around£30)
have fun!
and if you want to be even cheaper, 3or4 pieces of exposed colour fim taped over the lens works.

shoot handheld,preview your image, ony downside is the small (2.1mp)image size and the battery door design flaw on the camera( they always break)
