Well well well. What is it now 16 or so? We are doing well aren't we. So its Thursday so once again time for another edition of Teusdays with thatguy. Yea well, what can I do, Tuesday didn't work out for me. So anyways whats new today? For my screaming hordes or fans who flock to see if I have something new to talk about, I do. First and foremost however, I must comment that I have posted the very first ever game review by yours truly. I know I know, it has been anticipated for years. Well I have finally done it and I am mostly satisfied with the way it turned out. The other two reviews that I put up after the first just don''t hold that same charm but hey, they are still worth reading. Hopefully someone in this entire site found them useful. The best part about putting up a review is that your on the top of the list of reviews, well that is until someone else puts one up after you. So hurry and see before its too late. The game reviewed was Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. I know what your thinking, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, who likes that? I have played the hell out of that game so I figured writing a review would be easy, I did enjoy the whole reviewing expirience, now if only I could get paid to do it.... Any who I tried my hardest not to be biest towards the series that I have liked for ages. Okay on to the main event.

Hey look I used the enter key to change paragraphs. Yea thats a neat trick isn't it. Anyways, what I want to talk about now is a basic mish mash of stuff I have thought about while reading articles. I post comments to articles regularly when it strikes my fancy to do so but I figure who ever reads those? Well for convience, I will put it all here. First up is Manhunt 2. Those who are eagery anticipating the game, well here is yet another story on it. Those who aren't won't be thrilled that there is yet another story about it. Either way here it is. For all the hype surrounding the game's rating and the whole "Ultraviolent" aspect, how many people eager to snatch this game right off the shelves are actually 18? How many people who have played the first Manhunt game are 18? I bet that most of the people that you see saying, wow I can't wait to play this M rated game, or boo on ESRB for censoring the thing, are under age. In fact I would bet money on it. That is the sad truth. Sure they aren't "supposed" to get their hands on games of this nature, but they do. Same way that they see R rated movies, kids can always find a way. They are resourceful when it comes to getting into trouble. The even sadder thing is that 9 times out of 10 the parents are completely clueless. Johnny Fourteenyearold goes up to his mom and asks for Manhunt 2 for christmas or what not and she goes out and gets it for him because of course who could resist his sweet little innocent face? Kids know how to manipulate atleast their moms if not both parents. Sure some kids may be able to handle what is refered to as "Ultraviolence," but the bottom line is you are NOT SUPPOSED TO PLAY IT. Bottom line! I don't care if your the Presidents son or the game developer's daughter, you are not supposed to play these games. They were not made for you, they are not marketed for you, they are not rated for you, PERIOD! What else is the point behind the ESRB and the whold damned rating system? These people aren't out to make money you know, it isn't a very lucrative business. They were founded to A. Keep the government off game developer's backs, and B. and most importantly, to inform the PARNETS of the content of this game. Well not just them, also the consumer who wants to know a little about whats it it. But they get them. They play these games. Who is to blame? The clueless parent for getting it for them. The clueless parent who has NO IDEA what is going on in their kids' heads. A child's head is a swirling torrent of insane tornadic jargon. Kids may think they have things figured out, but they don't. Thats why they are called kids and not adults. They lack the years of expirience and I don't care who you are you can't argue that. Even as adults we make mistakes but atleast we can handle the outcome in most cases. Kids just have no idea. I STRONGLY believe that their mind just isn't made for the psychology that goes into M rated games just like it isn't made for R rated movies. Sure you could expirience a game or movie and say "Psh that had no effect on me, it was just good adult entertainment." The fact is that your wrong. It may not effect you now. Nor may it ever effect you directly, but indirectly you won't be the same. It will be there whiether you know of it or not it will be there. I am 21 years old and my parents were very strict on that sort of thing. I have earned the right to play these games or see these movies with years of expirience. People who don't put the proper time in to earn that right and just do it the cheap and easy way are only cheating themselves. So next time you are reading about an M rated game, look at the comments that people post. Most kids are so obviously juvenile with what they type that they are easy to spot. Think to yourself, "Wow, look how excited that 8,10,12 year old is about this Manhunt 2 game." Personally I have the first Manhunt game and I didn't play through it. I played it for a while and it was just nothing but sick brutality. There is NO STORYLINE at all, its just brutality thats it. A game should have atleast something to motivate you to see what happens next, this game doesn't have that. Argue with me if you want but at the very least, listen and understand my point of view. You don't have to accept it just respect it.

Wow, that was more then I thought it would be. That is blog length if I have ever seen it so the next topic will be on a new blog. Check XVII for the next topic! Thanks for reading and take it easy peoples.
