Ps3 Board - Tell me what this is?

The following video contains little kid-ism and the like, but I found it kind of funny. What's the point of the ESRB if they can't regulate the sale of games to under aged children?

That kid looks like he's been playing too many video games. :P I can't believe he has more games than me. And he gets those games because his parents don't care and just buy him whatever he wants.

His parents don't care. The ESRB is useless as long as parents don't responsibility for their kids.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. "If you don't have -insert game title here- then your an IDIOT! That kid was funny. I totally can see him crying to have his mom to take him to McDonalds and then to the midnight release of -insert mature title here- and throwing a tantrum if his mom even acts like she is gonna say no. Some parents blow my mind.

But yeah, I agree with GrandJury.

I have my first child on the way in less than two months and the last thing I want to do is let the TV raise her. I believe in balance.

However, I would love if I could introduce her to my old NES and SNES collection while she is young and work her way up from there but I will NOT force my hobbies upon her.

Psh, I have more games than him. And I'm in better shape, too!

Hrrm. Maybe I'll make a parody of that.

In his video that shows off his x-box collection he bassicly shows that most of his games are moded, is that even legal. I find it amazing that a 8 year old kid(thats my guess on how old he is) is allowed to mod his xbox and play moded games

Will a child shoot up a school just because he shot someone in a game? probually not. But will he/she start droping f-bombs and n-bombs? Ever been on xbox live? Are they more likley to try drugs after seeing it glamerized? Possibly. And isn't eight a little young to be expossed to the amount of nudity and sexual content in games like God of War and Heavy Rain? I think so.

(this is by no means aimed just at games)

That is why retailers who are caught selling "M" rated games to minors are fined $10,000 and lose their jobs. But if a parent buys it for a child, however, it's on them

At first I was just going to take a glimpse at it but I ended up watching the whole thing. I found it amusing how almost ever single game he has can be reviewed as "Not the best game ever"

He really shouldn't be playing those games though. He is the epitome of the crippling of the US's youth. I'm guessing is about 10. When I was 10 I wasn't fat at all. This kid is pretty pudgy and even is starting to develop moobs. He should put down the controller and pick up and basketball or something

I was only allowed to play age-appropriate games when I was his age. That is until my parents split up, then It was pretty much whatever I wanted to play as long as I earned my money.

Things have changed alot and I ampretty young still.

Its hard to be optimistic for humanity when this is becoming the normal thing for kids.

actually now that I think about it, I had friends like this but Its was for games like halo.

Thats just my little ramble

Lol... that kid plays Saint's Row and GTA. How age appropriate.

God this kid is a joke. like its making me angry. He's acting like everygame is da **** and tries to act all bad ass and the sh**. I would like to see the look on his face if i were to go over there and burn those games right infront of his lil baby self. God spoiled brat. URRRG! prolly would jsut cry to his mom and ask her to get the games for him and to pick up mcdonalds on the way home.

My parents were very very strict about which games that I played until I was about 14, which was actually just last year :P Now that im working 20+ hours a week I buy all my games for myself, they figure if Im mature enough to keep a job working that much and still get decent grades Im mature enough to handle a video game.

That video should be titled "LOOK WHAT MOMMY BOUGHT ME!!!!! :D"

It depresses me to know that this kid is going to be a part of the future of our functioning society :|

Ladies and gentlemen! I give you...the perfect example of a stereotypical 12 year old "hardcore gamer"!!

Why would you make a video on your game collection........come on what has this world come to???

Man...he described every game as "not the best game ever". And did you guys catch his comments on MAG? now that was funny. He probably hasn't even played it.

what a stupid comment you make

its parents like that who will buy these games for their kids and later realise what they are playing and make a load of complaints to everybody about the gaming companys and therefore give a bad name to gaming.

"Not the bet game ever"

"But you don't have to judge my opinion"

"But your an idiot if you don't have this game"

His parents should have made him play wii fit, he reminds me of that fat kid from Billy Madison that Adam Sandler shakes his cheeks

That kid isnt even old enough to play rated T games. I wish his mom and dad would take away all his games and systems awayRTUUMM

That was funny :D. But i don't really see why are you guys goin ape sh*t about what games he has... I got San Andreas when i was 8 8). Oh also he has ONE more game than me and i got mine in a year...

Dear lord.

The point of the esrb is just to tell us the content thats in the game. Not to keep kids from buying

[QUOTE="shads20"]

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"] Why censor your kids? Your taking the amendments people have fought for. I personally don't care about the ESRB my nephew knows the difference between reality and fantasy. He also needs to lose weight. ( the kid not my nephew )

Well I understand want to "limit" the explicit content your child views. But if you have a kid whose 13 years old and doesn't know what boobies are... man we have a problem.

I can't believe I watched this all. I want those 10 minutes of my life back. :|

I'm sure you wouldn't let your kids (or nephew for that matter) say the F word at the dinner table.

Freedom is great, but responsible behavior with the freedom you have is even better. As long as you get violent games with sex and suggestive themes for your kids, you're basically promoting the behavior in them. Whether or not you trust your kids is the real issue obviously. But, if you work all the time and your only quality time with your kids is the trip to the game store, can you really say you know them at all? I have been a gamer from the time I was eight years old (NES days). I'm lucky my mother was (lol STILL IS!) such a nosey person, who was concerned about what I was up to. I don't think I could have survived without some guidance.

Let your kids do what you think they are mature enough for. But, for their sake, please do limit some of the stuff they get up to. I had friends who's parents couldn't care less about what they were up to. Let me tell you, they are go nowhere, bottom feeders now. I think they're still doing drugs, and we're almost in our thirties now. Not letting my eight year old play GTA4 isn't censorship, it's good parenting in my book. It shows I love him and don't want him subjected to material that, honestly I'm not sure he's ready for yet. If you have kids you know about the constant training you have to endure. "What's that mommy, What's that mean daddy?" You also know when it's time to share all the secrets of the universe with them so to speak lol.

Censorship with your kids is your job honestly... Without it, you may as well just let your kids believe whatever they want and let them walk all over reason and morality. I can tell you from experience the ones that do what they want (all the time), end up where they don't intend. Usually it's nowhere fast, without a clue.

Lol... that kid plays Saint's Row and GTA. How age appropriate.
