What would you do for a copy of Doom3?

He's just doing what the government wants him to do, kids under 17 cant play 'M' rated games. Its not his fault that he is in that age where its official for him to buy that game.

Funny as hell, though.

What an asshole.

I thank god for my side burns. I've been picking up M rated games from Gamestop for a while now, and I'm only 16.

Haha. Living on the edge there... I think we got a future convict for sure....

Lol, yeah. Okay. But I've been able to buy them since I was like 12, at least at Gamestop. The guys at Best Buy are retarded, they card everyone.

Anyways, if I was that kid I'd build a BFG and blow that guy up.

And don't get me started on the ESRB....I'm sure the kid could have played the game and been fine. So "that was the right thing to do" is kind of bs.

Edit: The government would like stories like this being made up. Check out this news link that someone posted on AGB:

There you go. Have fun reading that. Don't you love our retarded society?

Recent medical brain scan studies at Harvard, Indiana University, and elsewhere prove that adolescents' brain functions are damaged by a steady diet of violent images. The heads of six major health care organizations, including the American Medical, Pediatric, and Psychiatric Associations have all testified before Congress in June 2000 that violent entertainment contributes to teen violence. Video games are literally "murder simulators" teaching our kids how to kill.

The incredibly violent Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, made by Take-Two Interactive of New York City, has caused multiple copycat killings across the country. A recent Gallup Poll found that any American teen who has played this one game is twice as likely to be engaged in an act of violence than those who have not played this one game. In this game you have sex with a prostitute and then kill her grotesquely to get your money back and win the game faster. Police officers are set on fire, shotgunned in the face, and innocent pedestrians are run over with cars.

Isn't that awesome?

Uneducated people making stuff up. Best part of the internet. I loooove it.

I thought it wasnt aginst the law for a kid under 17 to buy an M rated game? I always thought it was just some stores do it, some stores dont. But I never thought it was actually aginst the law to sell them to minors.

KillerGremlin · 08-06-2004, 04:44 PM

I've heard that stores can be charged up to 10,000 dollars worth of fines.

In Illinois, I think you need to be 18 to buy M rated games. Apparently, 17 is still a minor (Which is true), making the M rating useless.

It's cool though, because I shop at Gamestop, and I strongly oppose the people that blame gaming for violence.
