Re: 11 States support California video game law

the damn crappy ass cop shows that beat out good show like Heroes for example

Somewhat off topic but, most of those "crappy cop shows" have much better writing and are far more entertaining then even the best Heros could put out. At best, Heros had a good season and a half worth of quality shows. Heros was given a damn good chance to succeed, it just never had anything worth watching to make use of that chance.

On topic: Down with stupid laws rabble rabble

I wasnt saying all the cop shows were bad....most are though.... i.e. CSI: Miama *puts on sunglasses*

I agree that last season and a half or so of Heroes was pretty bad as a whole but I more mad that they didn't even give them a chance to rap it up.

Because you're trying to rob children of the joys of tasty food.

Just look at Warner Bros. They've stood tall amidst the downturns in viewership and lowered movie sales, they've now got some great game studios. Arkham Asylum and Scribblenauts received huge acclaim (and to be fair, rightfully so, they're good games).

>.> the funny thing is the Reverse is also true; Sony has acquired several movie studios, among them MGM.

Parental Controls. They're on every single console, use them.

And frankly, the ESRB has done more than enough to ensure that people are aware of the rating system, and console makers have made people more than aware of Parental Controls. If you don't use them at this point, you're an idiot. On top of that, not only do most retailers not sell M-Rated games to those under 18 (Up to the point where many of them card you as if you're buying smokes or booze), but most "High-M" games (GTA, Manhunt, etc.) have additional content warning on their cases, such as in a sticker.

A lot of parents complain that their kids will just go play the games at other kids' houses-- well big surprise dumbshit, when you let your kids go over to someone's house unsupervised, you're giving them license to do far worse things than play video games. Parents also complain that kids know how to get around parental controls-- true to some extent. Watch your damn kids if you don't trust them. If nothing else, you know what kids can't get around? Unplugging the fucking console and locking it up some place.

How dare you bring logic into parental supervision practices.
