Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That said, I bet Scott still has Atari style joy sticks,
These new ones have the games loaded on the joystick. I love technology.
Hec, I'm neutral on the subject of Mr. vs. Ms. Pac-Man, just as long as I get to play Pac-Man. The glowing dots are addictive, I tell ya.
Okay, I also wasted hours of my life on Zelda and Nethack. And Civ.
Don't forget Caesar. Any god-like strategy game means hours of computer time for me.
I think they probably should be rated, and then people can make their decisions accordingly.
I'd have to leave the room and go look at the boxes, but I'm pretty sure they already are rated. There's plenty of information out there with which to make an informed decision. If you're (hypothetical you) buying GTA for your kid, and are miffed at the content or possible available downloadable extras, I'm not even gonna bother with the World's Smallest Violin, I'll just go straight to the pointing and laughing and mockity mock mocking.
If she's like him, she'll be swearing at Uncle Pete through the XBox live headset as she tries to take him out.
I am SO looking forward to that.
I gotta put a plug in for Katamari Damcay if we're gong to talk about no sex and violence games.
A bunch of my friends are addicted to that game. I am perplexed by it. Of course, I'm perplexed by almost all video games; I am apparently missing the "Oooh, this is fun!" gene for them.
Video games have been rated for a while now. Grand Theft Auto has been rated M for Mature for ages. I know that just from seeing ads. I don't see the need to make it Adults Only, or whatever, especially not by tying up the legislature.

We are as one.

Will wonders never cease!
I continue to spend many hours playing BreakIt. No sex OR violence!
I'm seeing very little Ms. Pac Man love.

Played Age of Empires enough to know that Civ would have eaten my brain. One of my buddies, not a computer game guy at all, disappeared for about a year and a half into Civ 2 or 3.

Yerp. GTA (which I unashamedly lurve) is rated for Mature Audiences. Anyone whose kid has it in the first place really has no business bitching about a hack.

That's a waste of time.
Do they rate as to content the way TV shows do, that is do they say "some violence" or "graphic violence" or "depictions of sex" or "nudity" or whatever?
