I'm trying to get a job at Thrifty Foods (Local B.C. chain). Not going anywhere at the moment, but the manager has noticed that all the Ventures and Scouts that he has working for him are really good workers, so that's a point in my favour. Once I get a job maybe I'll finally be able to get that 360 I want, and some new Wii games.

You know, I looked at this title and something came to me... "BLOG"... and you know what? I was absolutely right. But hey, being 16 has its' perks. No responsibilities other than HS. Trust me, any problems you THINK you're having in HS are no problem at all.

I don't have that problem. The only M games I own is Turok for the 64, and CoD3 for the Wii. I hate both of them. Granted, there are definately some good ones, like Halo, but like you said, no one really cares.

Darn, when i was 16, it was no different buying games than buying them today. Its not hard to get money, and you can get M rated games if you have a license or lerners.

I think he's talking about the ESRB rating system and how him being underage kind of prevents him from buying the mature-rated titles. I don't think it's an issue of money.

muscialmac's self-assured nature is actually kind of funny, with hindsight things get exaggerated, up or down, living a memory and living the moment are two different things.

I never really had any problems with games or films for a long time but recently I've been getting carded. This past Friday I went to see 300 at a local movie theather with three of my friends and we were carded when buying our tickets then carded AGAIN when the lady had to check our tickets to get into the specific theater. Carded twice, isn't that kind of crazy? I'm turning 18 soon and it's not like I look really young or old but you'd think if you get carded to purchase the ticket in the first place they wouldn't need to do it again. It's just annoying. Not to mention one of my friends payed with a credit card. Ridiculous.

If your old enough to operate a weapon of mass destruction (an automobile) I think you should be able to buy mature games and adult movies. Seriously.

He's completley right, any problems you have in HS are nto problems. I remember thinking that there was way to much homework in HS and that finals were hard and that AP classes were way to hard and expected to much. Looking back HS is a complete joke, you can start thinking you have problems once you get a full time joband are taking full time university courses. To the OP, is it really a big deal? If you have parents that are willing to pick the games up for you youaren't missing out on anything.

If you are 16 and have a license you will probably wrap your car around a tree and be dead within 6 months so yes they should be able to buy whatever they want.

Well there definately needs to stricter control over game rating to keep little kids off of internet games. There are some really messed up 7 year olds from talking with people on Halo2 and such. The biggest problem with the rating system is Halo where you shoot aliens with purple blood gets the same rating as Manhunt where you hack people's heads off with machetes... so how is any parent going to know the actual content of an M game?

I've made about 350 every 2 weeks since i was 16 ... and.. just go to wal-mart.. they dont give a crap 3/4 of the time..cheatymcshifty
When I was 17, they wouldn't let me buy the movie Waiting... because I wasn't old enough. So my friend (who was 19 at the time) Said that he would by it, and they said, "We can't knowingly let you purchase this movie if you are going to give it to a minor." So we went to the back of the store and he bought it from the electronics area instead of the front. Amazing movie BTW.

consider by the time you can buy those games on your own, they might have gone through price drops.

Yeah same here I'm only 3 months away from being 17 though. It does suck though, tomorrow I have to go buy MGS4 with my mom... And my Gamestop sucks, they actually card you! They don't just ask for your age, they actually freakin' ask for ID.
