Theoretically we are "absolutely purely abstract" that "well, if call violence
the fact you are shooting abstract weapons to abstract shapes then ok
we are violent .. " in some theory we should be "for everyone".

But if you see the forms and such about the ESRB rating .. .. it's mental ..
.. I don't know .. the more you read it the more you don't understand
then really how/what/why your game could be rated in some way instead
of another ..

Very curious to see the results .. a bit worried as well .. but I wonder
what they'll be able to find out.
E10+ at most. Really, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Yeah, SG is completely innocent. Jesus could play it. It should have a halo. Even the most rabid bible thumper would have to concede that the giraffe is as clean and pure as the driven snow. The giraffe is virginal, saintly. It glows with a numinous radiance. God Himself could not take issue with our innocent giraffe. We should have a Popes Only leaderboard.
Justified and Ancient.

What no hidden levels of giraffe pron?

Anyway, how do these people make sure a game is entirely of what it is certified as? Do they play through every single level / nook and cranny?

"Final Score" reads as something else entirely ;)

Yes, I know it's fixed now, it just made me laugh my head off :)

Thompson's killed himself this time. He may have some delusionary self-image, but Microsoft won't let him fuck with the Halo 3 launch.

I think he just woke the sleeping giant.

He's.

Fucking.

Toast.


To be honest, I'll be glad of the lessened noise-level. We gamers are having a hard enough time carving out a culture without some fucking lawyer calling us all murderers in waiting.

Hell, I get that from mundanes just for being a self-determinist.

Well if you wanted to get your point across, it would
help with some publicity.

This thread is proof we are Thompson's whore.

.....i've been raped by Jack the pimp.

Perhaps, but I get the feeling Bungie and MS were laughing and high-fiving each other at the news... :)

MS will just ignore him as he turns the noise level up; retailers that refuse to carry Halo 3 because of the controversy will just find themselves on Microsoft's distribution shit-list (and short a lot of launch-day Halo 3 sales).

It's great advertising.

I just wish someone from Microsoft would call a nice official press conference to systematically demolish each and every one of his points in order, followed up by a nice curt letter to the Florida bar about professionalism and legal ethics.
