This whole situation is just stupid. I mean, this is the only game I have ever seen with an AO rating. I've always considered the rating a joke because you never see games with the rating. As to the rating meaning age 18 and up, big whoop. This just means a difference of a year in the ratings, which, for the most part, don't mean squat as most kids these days can get away with buying anything. I mean, a five year old on my street is allowed to play GTA and Halo, which I think are two of the stupidest games ever created. This whole situation is just pointless.

http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=h2in&width=640 EDIT: By the way, the release of this video was a big deal to me. It confirmed that I'm not just losing my skill at playing console FPS games. I used to play the orginal Halo with 3 of my buddies, and I always placed first or second place (me and another guy were clearly better than the other two). Suddenly, with the release of Halo 2, the two friends of mine who AREN'T very good, were suddenly AMAZING! They were killing me left and right and my precision meant NOTHING. And, of course, my friends ran around congratulating themselves on their great skill. They have no skill. Halo 2 makes beginners great... Last edited by Once A Villain; 07-22-2005 at 12:13 PM. |

Uh, how does that prove anything at all? Practice makes perfect, you know. And a shitty choice of music on the video. I hate Halo 2's online and multiplay, but single player kicks ass and nobody can argue.

I'm wondering, weren't the original 'sex' scenes fully clothed, and you had to download a free program that 'undresses' the scenes? I'm suspecting Rockstar intently kept these scenes in the game to boose sales, then may have been involved in the 'distribution' of the downloadable software to unlock them. Considering their other games, like Manhunt, I wouldn't be at all surprised. Rockstar's profits thrive on controversy.

I have played Halo 1 on the other hand, and it was a good game albeit having a repetitive level design, and definitely way overhyped. As far as GTA goes, I love it.

I just wonder how stuff like this is going to effect her base. A LOT of the support for Kerry came from young people, mostly in their twenties or late teens. These are the people who are playing the kinds of games Clinton is waging her holy war against. Of course, most people don't vote according to a candidate's position on video games. But it's stuff like this that can backfire on a candidate. Quote:
