Electrical feedback from the controller anytime you take damage!

28 hours later, Warcraft gets its first Level 70

"People who play WoW are very sad in deed, it is basically just pong. Always the same action over and over again."

No kidding. And Halo? Same thing over and over. Move around and shoot things. My god, how repetitive. Don't even get me started on Katamari Damacy. You roll. That's it. One single action repeated over and over and over again.

But you know what's the worst? I saw this guy reading a book one time. And all he kept doing was turning the page. What the hell is that all about? For hours at a time. Just turning pages. People are just wierd.

ESRB: Lie to us, pay up to $1 million in fines

Are you kidding me? "Who the fuck is the ESRB?" The ESRB is the ONLY thing standing between the industry and the government. If the ESRB went away, do you know what would take its place? LAWS. Vance is doing her damndest right now to prevent the government from thinking that laws are the only way to "protect the children." The ESRB is doing you a goddamn favor. How about you stop undercutting it and try to find a way to help it out.

Do you have any idea what kind of laws would be passed? Sure they might just be laws against selling games to minors, or maybe the politicians would ask for more. Maybe they'll make it illegal to MAKE adult games. Right now, you can make whatever kind of game you want. There is nothing preventing you from making an AO game. But if you want an ESRB label, you need to be honest with the ESRB. You lie to the ESRB, and you get a situation like we got right now. Politicians, in an election year, trying to show that the ESRB is not working, so they can pad their damn resume.

You aren't even required to submit to the ESRB. You won't get a label, and will miss out on some distribution oppurtunities, but that is your choice. If the politicians get their way, you damn well better believe they'll want to review every game made. You won't have a choice.

The ESRB is GOOD for the industry. It's in the best interest of the industry to show that it can self-regulate. And people like you and Take Two are cutting the fucking legs out from under them. You think that HELPS the situation? You think the government will do the job better than the ESRB?
