Thanks Scar... though is Fallout 3 coming out on the PS3? I ask because I'm about to get a PS3 and most games on the Xbox360 aren't region unlocked while all are on the PS3.

Also, just a note: I know I sounded overly harsh about saying I'd rather be dead than to live in the US. To be honest, I can't imagine living in any other country but Australia... but I still hate how backward this country can get on some issues.

EDIT: Oh look, according to wiki, Fallout 3 is coming out on the PS3... import copy for me then, just like GTA4.

This kind of thing makes me mad because it really just makes no sense. The one guy in the video who seemed to be somewhat informed and said how they need a rating system has never even seen the game, they just don't know all the facts but they refuse to learn them.

Is there any organization in Australia at the moment that is committed to the defense of gaming and the education of others about it? If not, could one be put together? In Sweden, a political party was formed to educate people about copyright and the concept of fair usage, and in the US there is the Electronic Frontiers Foundation, dedicated to similar matters. I'm sure that there are a bunch of people just like you in Australia who feel the same way- now, can you guys organize?

Yeah, we do have an organisation like that and it's called the Game Developers' Association of Australia (GDAA). Though by the sounds of it, most people think anyone who supports videogames as an art form is as wacky as a Scientologist.

Except that I don't have much support for PC to begin with. I've never been much of a modern PC gamer, the most I'll have on this PC are old DOS games. Other than that, I do all my gaming on consoles.

I remember watching something or reading something, and these guys were interviewing some game producer. And they got to the topic of gaming violence. And, I'm just paraphrasing, he said that games aren't the only things that are have violence. Things like movies have violence as well. But since the generation that criticize games grew up with movies, they won't really say that its the fault of movies. So basically, they say its the fault of videogames because its kind of a foreign concept to them.

In the future we will be saying "Violence in simulated reality games should be stopped!"
Only joking but violence in something like that might be closer to violence in real life XD That might just make it a better release for violent actions though XP

I agree, its just a generation thing, I don't think we will have this kind of problem when "our" generation is the one in charge.

I can't express how backward some people with values dating so far back are so incompetent right now in what people do for entertainment nowadays.

Hopefully, at least. There will always be uninformed people of our generation too though.

That's true, but I think there will be enough of "us" in power to help the situation.
