hmmm. gta or postal2, gta or postal2..? well i can live without sex scenes in games. is a bit dumb that people are getting all het up about this when free porn is generally just a few clicks away the second a kid gets on the internet.
i know about net nanny. i also know that the avarage parent keeps there passwords written down somewhere near there computer..
game probably shouldent have been a 15 rating in aus in the first place though. im all in favour of age ratings for games. the higher the better. you may be underage and have played these games, good for you. but a lot of the sicker freakier people i have knowen in r.l tend to have been hooked on hardcore horror films from a really young age.
due to the whole media fuss about underage drinking i have been being carded when i buy booze from supermarkets!! im bloody 25!! my wife got carded the other day and she is 30!! (tho obviosly she was flattered) i think games shops should be the same, ask for i.d regardless.
seeing that thing on richard and judy when some parents who had bought there 10 year old kids vice city had to watch them playing it was classic. they have been turning a blind eye for a while. the kids who did colombine learnt there handgun skills from playing doom apperently. indeed i have seen military people saying about how maybe its not such a good thing that kids are getting military style training from games these days. im not saying evry kid who plays is gonna be a freak but maybe controls should be just a little tighter.
