Right. They'll learn to speak English just as soon as everyone in Norway learns to speak Italian.

Also, i think if you dont like games with blood/guts/lesbians/penises/bad language/guns/demons ect, dont play it.
If a kid plays an "evil" game, that he shouldnt play, its his stupid irresponsible parents fault.
Banning games is stupid.

I can see this kind of situation in my head already:

Stupid hippie game-banner: " Oh my god, look, the main charecter cut himself in that cutscene, i can see BLOOD, now kids will take semi-automatic rifles and start shooting at their friends at school. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, BAN THIS GAME, I WILL GATHER MY HIPPIE FRIENDS AND WE SHALL PROTEST!!!11"
Me (wise and powerful): plz die, k tnx bye.

I have played my share of violent games( Postal 1 and 2, Gta series, SoF series ect)and im a frequent visitor in the Ogrish forums, but only thing that happend to me, is that blood doesnt freak me out anymore ( i still dont like violence in real life).

Im tired now, im going to sleep, enjoy my rant.

Probably teen. The ESRB is a lot stricter with violence in newer games (case in point: Super Smash Brothers Melee got T, the original got E). Also, there's a moderate amount of profanity.

Followed by rant in caps.

Conspiracy duck, nothing deserves that harsh a flame, and what SD said wasn't barely even controversial.

If you disagree with him, disagree without the hostile flaming; everyone has a right to their opinions.

Someone's new here.

Believe me, that's hardly a flame.

Sometimes I miss the old days.

By the way, Spidweb's rating would depend mostly on how much SW bribes the ESRB.

And please, call me by my given name, Djur.

Jiggerey Buggerey, I shouldn't have mentioned any angry funamentalists at all. I fear what I intended as a pretty straightforward discussion of potential ratings may degrade into the usual flamewars that follow anything religious.

Kindly keep it civil, alright?

Check out the DIARY, why doncha? It won't bite. Probably.

We were companions in the woods,
We were fellows of the same bed,
Where we used to sleep the balmy sleep.
After mortal battles abroad,
In countries many and far distant,
Together we used to practice, and go
Through each forest, learning with Scathach".

Do some research, the percieved hippie in your rant isn't the main supporter of game banning or game restrictions or what have you. It's the soccer mom parent who thinks that it's contaminating their kid's mind. The same kind of parent who you have most likely.

Please, don't blame everything on hippies.

Why not? It's all their fault.

In the words of Wise Man, jokes, yo.

Djur, I'm happy to see how much you've matured since I left.
