Yeah, I read about this on another website.
It just begs me to get started on the whole
"We use the same ratings for our games as we do for films, yet we are stricter on games - and have no age rating for novels which contain much worse material" argument again. Besides, most of what they said was actually lies.

Banning is pointless. Especially when it comes to works of a creative nature. With the internet, all you do is encourage its desemination. Pandora's box, once it's out there's not putting it back. But people will keep trying because people are stupid. Bleh.

For some reason this reminded me my friend playing quake 3. He was playing this really long level, he started at one end, fired a rocket then started jumping and after awhile he caught up with the rocket, passed it, and then waited for the rocket to hit him at the other end.

I'll just randomly post it here since i don't want to start a new topic about it:
Peltz, i met some Estonians (and Polish, Swedes and Spanish btw). And honestly, i couldn't understand a thing they were saying. Really funny language. I learned one word though: Terviseks!
Anyone want to guess what it means?
Oh and i might visit Estonia next year.

Terviseks: A phrase meaning "Where the hell did I leave my pants?".
