No problem. Editing posts for spelling, punctuation, and grammar also happens to be a hobby of mine as well, so thank you!pritch1986 wrote:Yeah, it'll decline even further now that posts are getting rearranged. Thanks admin for your ever-helpful (fuckin bull) input on these forums. Yes, you own them, but they wouldn't exist without people bashing at keyboards. Have a good one! :thumbs up and pats on back for that:

As I understand it is one of the governor generals in Australia that won't allow an 18+ rating (or M-rating) in Australia; something about that children could get their hands on those 18+ games since adults play these games. And since adults play these games, they obviusly bring them home. And then, their children might play them...
I guess this guy has never ever heard of parental controls...

banning games for that reason is stupid cos the kids might get a hold of it ok great lets ban porn, who hasn't got porn on there machine honestly, image for the win boys and girls i don't like it but if they say no to me gettin a great game then they can stick it, i'll just send a donation to the guys who made it and see if they can mail me a legit cd key for my time

Before I got to your post, I was just thinking about the hot coffee thing. I don't know much about how Australian media portrays video games, but hot coffee kind of rejuvenated a debate here in America about video game content.Mechanurgist wrote:Quick, someone write a hot coffee mod for f3 so it can be banned in the US as well.
I didn't see much of anyone making a fuss when there was a 'graphic' sex scene in ... ah ... I forget the name. FPS where a guy uses inbued guns to kill the undead and rescue some chick or chicks. Anyway, I didn't hear much about that at all, but Mass Effect made some ripples with their "sex scene", if you can call it that. It was the silhouette of a buttcheek ffs, and I've seen no worse rendered in the Star Wars games, to name a bigger franchise.
In Max Payne, you're blatantly abusing painkillers, and the other GTA games all had drug use and prostitution. Were these banned in Australia, I wonder?
As many things as I'd like to see changed in Fallout 3, drug use/abuse isn't one of them. I wonder if Bethesda will change their tune for the Australian market to get it past the ratings boards....?

Game has to be popular first. With any luck that won't be the case with F3.cazsim83 wrote:I didn't see much of anyone making a fuss when there was a 'graphic' sex scene in ... ah ... I forget the name.
Politicians only notice games when some crackhead who owns GTA commits a murder or some idiot suburban parent sees their idiot jock son fucking a prostitute in a game.
The original Fallout was such a niche game that no-one noticed it had prostitution and drug use. Bethesda had the cojones to include the latter but sadly backed out on the former. Ah well.
