elevenoverzero commented on Jack Thompson? Funny Guy

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 07:58:46 MDT

So awesome. I love Jack Thompson. He's like the final boss.

Watching people get all teary-eyed and CAPS LOCK RAGE at him is equally as entertaining.

@ISAAC76:
"Ive always thought of dragonforce as mainstream pop"

And that's where you lost us. You can have an opinion on music, but not what genre it is. Those are facts.

Mainstream pop is your Britney Spears music. That would be like me saying "I've always thought of Britney as speed metal" and expecting you to take me seriously.

Dragonforce is a parody of itself, and they're well aware of it. Don't stress.

I saw them live in concert last year and I think I'm still orgasming. And deaf.

Shipping the English to Australia... Why does that sound familiar?

Also, I guess we loves our Wiis sick.

Now we just need to actually allow games into the country and we'll be set!

For all the "lol wtf is vimeo it must b shit if i havnt herd of it" people, it's like YouTube but allows HD videos and direct downloads. It's quite good.

Fat pride? Lose some weight, you're unhealthy and prone to a lot of complications.

It's more racist to point out the differences.

Bungie could take a shit and everyone would go looking for hidden messages and clues.

What's with the Yorda hate? You could write a thesis about the emotion and psychology behind Yorda in ICO. She was part of the puzzles.

I read this as: We're bypassing atmosphere and suspense for cheap shocks.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong. I've already played Doom 3.

In all fairness I like the dialogue and style of the second trailer. Gameplay looks awesome. Will get GeoW2 on day one.

@Walker:
"Stick an mature 18 rating on the game if you deem it that bad but out right banning it?"

We would if we had an 18 rating. That's the point we're trying to get at.

@Ashkihyena:
Not at all. In Australia:

M = Recommended for 15+
MA = Restricted to 15+
R = Restricted to 18+

@Monkeez:
Parents are actually really well educated about the ratings system, especially after games ratings started using the same familiar ratings as films (G PG M MA R) except that games don't include the R. If we had one, parents would immediately understand what it means because they likely wouldn't let their kid watch an R rated film.

@ThisCharmingMan:
No, the OFLC wants an R rating too. It's SA Governor-General Michael Atkinson who is stopping it.

@suntorytime:
"If this ban stops soccer mums from walking into a store and ignorantly buying the game for their 8 yr old kids, then I've got absolutely no gripes with it."

An R rating would have the same effect, and wouldn't restrict actual adults who want to play the game.

@Salen:
There was a big push but Atkinson refuses to budge. He thinks he can protect children from adult-oriented material by removing the civil rights of adults.

@FLYBOY611:
Heaps. Kotaku even has an Australian sister-site and several Australian editors.

I don't know what what's like?

Manhunt was legal here for quite a while before it got either banned or "taken off the shelves" (I can't remember which).

I suppose, but it's already been discussed a lot so he's well aware of it. Plus it's out of parliament now anyway. Fingers crossed for the public polling.

elevenoverzero commented on Fallout 3 Refused Classification In Australia

@Salen:
Once it's "Refused Classification" then it's considered illegal to import it. In the same category as weapons, drugs, etc.

Yahtzee's copy of Smash Bros Brawl that you're refering to was sold legally because the government had never declared it an illegal import.

@ChiZ_MacT:
They actually agree. But they don't make the legislation.

The bottleneck is Michael Atkinson, the one guy who disagrees and the decision needs to be unanimous.

Last word was that they couldn't reach an agreement so the vote was being cast to the public in a random polling. Fortunately the last time they did that, 88% of households said "We want an R rating"

So don't email the OFLC.

It costs $120 to buy GTA4 on the shelf in EB. It cost me $74 including postage to import the uncensored version from play-asia.com

FUCK! Fuck you Michael Atkinson.

How long can we keep our heads in the sand? They say they won't introduce an R rating because those "tech savvy kids" will just find ways to get the games, then. Have they ever heard of the Internet?

An R rating would give parents MORE understand of the content of a game.

They are not holding back a tide of filth that adults shouldn't want to see to begin with. They are holding back the civil rights of adults.

I get my gaming discussions from /v/ which makes me feel dirty but at least it's honest and open.

Shutting down a forum/site is only going to make you a bad guy. Threatening to do so is almost as bad. Deliver a good game and prove them all wrong. Dyack seems confident they will, so as they say: The proof is in the pudding.
