The Off-Topic Lounge: Epic Masterpiece Version

Games are rated M, which means they're for mature individuals. Immature people need parental approval.

So my question: Since you think it's flat-out inappropriate for you to play M rated games, do you then consider yourself immature?

Here's another question: if the zombie apocalypse arrived, would you just let the zombies kill you or would you fight them off? Because in RE4 you're not killing humans, they're already goners. No, you're killing the walking dead. So is it not ok to play that game just because you're shooting at what once was humans?

Why do you refuse to have your own opinion about which M rated games are ok to play and which aren't? For example, my girlfriend hates violent games but as long as she's not killing humans and instead some kind of imaginary monster it's ok for her to play them, regardless of rating. You have to learn to draw your own line in the sand, not let some ratings board do it for you. You're an adult, you should act like one.

That zombie apocalypse in real life thing is just silly. Next.
You didn't even read my posts. I draw my own line in the sand. You're not following though.

Resident Evil 4 portray humans that are too human like. Blowing off heads and watching blood spatter all over isn't something I want enjoy myself doing.

I already explained how I...draw my own line, and provided plenty of examples.

Bob, the only time you ever talk to me is through the anti-religion, ormy standards. Your only purpose here is to exploit me of any potential flaws regarding standards. I will not tolerate that any longer. For the 3rd time, I draw my own line in the sand. You do not worry about what games I choose to play and why.

Do you understand? Do I make myself clear?

Hmmm

I can't remember the last time I knew what rating a game got

Like if I'm playing a game and I see someone explode I'm like "oh this is an M game" but when I play a game and I see aliens or something explode I don't know what that would be.

Killing is killing isn't it?

Like boobs and swears and all that means M I think, aren't you allowed a certain number of swears in a G movie then once that's eclipsed it's PG-13?

Oh yeah, I meant PG

Actually I think G movies don't swear. Some PG movies do. Shrek comes to mind. Referring to Donkey "I have to save my ass".snowman6251

I've never of heard a swear word in a G movie.

[QUOTE="snowman6251"]

Oh I don't worry about it at all. I'm just curious because I can't follow the logic. Your problem seems not to lie with violence in video games but rather with how well rendered the violence is and to me that just seems a little hypocritical.

Its like beating your kids is ok as long as you don't leave a mark for anyone to notice.

wiifan001

Wait, how is this a response to what snowman said? I think he made a very good point in that there really is no difference in the actual amount of violence in something like Goldeneye 007 and Halo, and you seem to be more or less just sweeping it under the rug by talking vaguely about "moral standards". :?

I don't care where either, maybe Cuba or Iraq or Iceland, I don't care

Heading off to D-Block tomorrow, visiting my gf's family. It'll be my first time on a plane...well once when I was 2 weeks old but parts of that memory are fuzzy.

Roboccs, what's to do for fun around there? I'm going to catch a Tiger's game but that's all that's planned so far.

I am going to a University toga party tonight.

I feel like I am far too old to be doing this kind of thing; but on the other hand.. how often to you have an excuse to drink caesars while wearing pretty much nothing but a bed sheet in public while still being perfectly sociably acceptable?

I hate bars, too. They're loud and smelly and expensive and you need a DD and you're stuck there until the lowest common denominator of your group feels like leaving.

I wanna come to your parties. :P

The occasional party was fine once in awhile. Sometimes it's just fun to see stupid people in action.

I totally agree that the bar-scene is a waste of time. There was one bar we would go to sometimes that was a piano bar which did lead to some memorable times. What's more fun than the emotional high of blasting "Living on a Prayer" and "Piano Man" at the top of your lungs filled with some liquid courage?

I always liked small get-togethers with buddies at an apartment. I've never attended a frat party and was better for it.

Multiplayer modes shouldn't be added to every single game. Dead Space 2's Multiplayer looks bad ... at least the actual single player campaign looks amazing.

Competitive multiplayer in a horror game?

Sigh... you know it'll boost sales, too, which is the sad thing.

OMFG YES! Please let it be true! I didn't get to play either game and I've wanted to really badly.snowman6251

I'm not a big football fan, or really a sports fan in general but today my school had it's home opener, which is always a good time. And we played our long time rival and beat them. And our team sucks. It's a horrible team. Won two games in the last two years. And our rival is very competitive. Generally for football games we assume we lose so we just go to get really drunk and chirp. We all figured it would be a loss by higher than about.. 50 points. But we won! Success.

Also, the toga party last night... no one else was in a toga. How embarassing.

Oh no, I have tons of friends.. just never going to parties and meeting friends there, those are not the friends I want to make, lol.

So I finally got around to fixing up my room and unpacking/hooking up the Wii, only to realise I have forgot my nunchuck at home. Dammit.

Oh well, at least I can still play Metroid Other M once I get around to getting buying that.

What a horrible day for the Lions. They lose their starting quarterback with high hopes to a shoulder injury (you kind of need a shoulder to throw the ball) and they got JOBBED at the end of the game. I understand the ref's call but it was still crap in my book.

What a bummer. I'm guessing Stafford won't be back for awhile.
