In order to sell a game you either have to:
a)Be over 18 years old
b)Have parent's permission
c)Fill out this long form
d)Have ID

It's so damn annoying..to sell a damn game... it's a wonder I never sold one
None of that happens to me.

um...theaters on stricter on the r movies nowadays.

Yeah, I hate theaters who are strict about that. I mean, they make your parent actually go into the movie with you, it's ridiculous. They can't just let the parent sign the ticket or buy the ticket for you, they actually have to freaking go in with you, it's just annoying. Well, I'll be 17 in about 6 months, so that's not so bad.

Seriously, what does it matter? If someone buys a game that is not right for them, well, that's why they have these people called PARENTS. But for some people (like me) my parents don't care about what kind of games I play, so there's no big deal.
It's sad your parents don't care :( It makes me think they have more important things to do than worry about what their son does. I certainly hope that isn't the case :(

Pffft.. movie theaters are more lenient than gaming stores, well, around here anyways. I've been able to get into so many R rated movies without getting asked for an ID.

I go to a pool hall where there's a sign that says you must be over 18 and that they will ask for ID to comfirm this. Yet they don't do anything of the sort. Ask for a table and they give it to you.

Over 18, to play pool? What will think of next? :rolleyes:

Or maybe they don't give a **** because it's just video games...

At first it is just video games. Then "games" become simulated shooting scenarios. Then the shooting goes from simulated to real. It's sad but true :(

It's probably in a sports bar.. where they sell things like cigarettes, beer (21), and stuff like that.

Yes and no, they dont sell games to just any underaged person but they do to me because I am cool and a valued customer. Also I am 17 but they still sell me 18 games, we have a different rating system to you, CBFD came with an M but I think it was widely considered as a kind of parental descretion thing.

Haha, well i dont think so...but they might, most people think i look 17 or 18 anyways so they dont ask.
