  1. Poor people, you get the show a week later second episode airs tomorrow I'll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum during the week.
  2. Two words: Wild Mage Three words: Mages gone Wild.
  3. You really don't even have to play a game to know the difference between Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil. Basically games and movies appeal to preconceptions, we all have them about upcoming games and genres. We only need to look at a video of the gameplay, the game cover, or the ads to know what game is unsuitable to kids. The problems is actually picking a game that is both entertaining and fit for children.
  4. I guess this brings forth the question: do you think that going into Iraq was a mistake? and that our efforts for democracy are wrong?
  5. Parents know about movies because they grew up watching movies while the system was enabled. Games are only their first generation of gaming parents and they have only become widespread in the last 10 years, give it time so that our generation ( which is already educated on the ESBR) has kids of their own. It will be easy for them to monitor their kid's games.
  6. Radical change, probably won't happen for a long while. Reason No. 1: parents who hate games, those that think that games are the cancer that it's rotting their sons brain. Reason No. 2: the inevitable failure of some students to adapt to the new system; the current system is made to give a passing grade to the majority of students.
  7. I hate to do this ... but I put my vote for Mkreku. His manner around a lady is just unacceptable, I would have a talk with him "hombre a hombre" and defend Ms. Higginbottom's honor.
  8. Are they the guys supposed to sabotage us? Or are they wizards putting this day on hold?
  9. Certainly they happen and so far since it hasn't affected us we haven't cared. But if atrocities are being committed overseas and covered up then we as a people have a right to know, which we wouldn't if the government was the one that released the report. More over these committees have proven themselves useless when it comes to finding and prosecuting these people. I'm pretty sure that every body that oversees anything is up to scrutiny, specially since they have failed so much in the past.
  10. Look it's the bot! lets find out how many other forums got this post.
  11. I understand the concern for security with a leak on information. But if this information were to go through the official channels or if we were to request it, they would only give us the PG version of events. All in the name of keeping the war effort alive.
  12. ME1's DLC was referenced on ME2. They will probably will do the same in 3.
  13. That's mean! What did your internal organs ever do to you? Nothing, he's just British.
  14. I think I've seen you around the games. You gave me lag
  15. Whatever. If this law passes i'm forming a store that only sells violent games. Anyone want to be business partners?
  16. You said it yourself, they are elected by us and as such the respond to us. For democracy to be effective there is a need for the public to have all available information to make an informed decision. Now we are not ignorant of what is happening over there.
  17. You did the whole proxies thing?
  18. Anyone here (N.America only of course) playing Vindictus?
  19. Why? Last thing we need is to get involved in a war with China over Taiwan
  20. Get up, come on get down with the sickness Ah, now that brings me back
  21. The Doors-Roadhouse Blues
  22. They didn't cracked with Imoen either. But it still happened!!!
  23. I'm not sure what you mean by distributors. It would be the retailer who's responsible for not selling the prohibited games to minors, there would be no other restrictions on distribution of games. As far as the law being too vague, that could be the main reason the law is overturned. Basically every retailer would have to play every game and come up with a list of games that are unsuitable for minors. Of course, they could just take the shortcut of not selling any M-rated games to minors, but I don't think that holds water legally. It's the retailer the one that also, gets penalized if they carry games forbidden by the bill and decides which games to sell. This in turn makes the publisher push for a certain kind of games; as usual the ones that sell the most. It basically turns the dreaded AO rating into an abstract concept that can be used to remove every "bad" game from distribution since the retailer can't be sure of what is what. Hopefully it won't hold, but I would take Nepenthe's word over mine in that subject.
