Captain Red Posted August 20, 2004 Article said:Video games are too violent for kids.[/b] Do you know why? Video games that have lots of blood, gore, killing and other mature themes aren’t made for kids. The gaming industry has done an exceptional job of establishing content ratings with age appropriate guidelines for virtually all games that are released. The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) goes to great lengths to spell out the details of game content (much better than, say, the movie industry does). The fact is, if you allow your six-year-old to play M-rated games like TrueCrime: Streets of LA or Silent Hill, you’ve only yourself to blame when the nightmares and bedwetting starts. Content ratings are beautiful things—read them! YES YES!!! EVERYBODY READ THIS! 0 Share this post Link to post

HackNeyed Posted August 20, 2004 *Claps hands together repeatedly in a semi rhythmic fashion* a well thought out and written article on an all too problematic subject. Sadly i fear only we who know and already appreciates the finer points she makes will read what she has to say. My mom is not a gamer but she likes tech and encourages me to work on my computer and discuses where technology is going as well as how it can be implemented into the classroom to further high school and collage education. It's true that we learn better by doing then reading from a textbook, the future looks bright indeed for interactive learning AND leisure. 0 Share this post Link to post
Janderson Posted August 20, 2004 Ah, reminds me of the good old times when me and mum played Doom, Wolfenstein, Sonic etc. Too bad she's got a job now. She kicked some ass in her time. Great article. 0 Share this post Link to post

VinceDSS Posted August 20, 2004 My dad is rather ecclectic and has quite some fun playing. He buys and plays any big FPS (unreals, quakes, serious sams...). As well as strategy games like War3. 0 Share this post Link to post

Melfice Posted August 21, 2004 Heh, what can I say, I live in a family like that. Fuck, my mom introduced me to Marilyn Manson, she wanted his Mechanical Animals cd so I bought it when I was out of town one time, back when I was in 7th grade. Then I got a Rob Zombie cd and things continued to develop from there. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted August 21, 2004 I want a woman like that so I can fuck her until she becomes a mom like that. Oh yeah, and my mom turned me onto Nirvana, and Tool among other things and said Marilyn Manson was the best concert she ever saw live. 0 Share this post Link to post

WOah, Liesure Suit Larry how old were you when they showed you that LOL!!!! isnt that an Adult ONLY game? Well i guess its not bad considering the school i went to gave Sexual ed in the 3rd fucking grade! Then they wonder why a bunch of kids got pregnant like 2 years later. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted August 23, 2004 I dunno wtf it is about me, but I knew how reproduction worked when I was 4 and I first told someone to "fuck off" when I was 5. So when I was watching my mom play Liesure Suit Larry at the age of 8, I guess it wasn't much of a leap. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spike Posted August 23, 2004 That's ok, Raven dropped a glass of juice the other day and exclaimed, 'Oh bollocks!'. If she's angry - usually cuz she's been denied something -, she tells us to fuck off. Great stuff coming from a 3 year old :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
