Industry Sales on the Rise

Good to see that the industry is comming out of it's slump. http://www.gamespy.com/articles/709/709046p1.html.

On an unrelated note, this is just sad: http://www.gamespy.com/articles/709/709070p1.html

Hopefully the ESA can manage to get that fixed.

The game appeals to the minor's morbid interest in violence.

Which makes me wonder why we'd stop them from buying the game if they already have a violent predisposition and would have to harm a real person to satisfy his interest otherwise. Shouldn't that be reason enough for locking him up for therapy?

And I'll ask again: When will we see age restrictions for books?

The exact same time we get government officials who aren't all overly conservative(small c) pricks?

Anything new is evil to them.

That law is totally nuts and obviously is going to be ruled as unconstitutional eventually. It's amazing that it passed with a unanimous vote.

I think politicians should be fired and forbidden from ever holding a political position again if they vote for a law that is obviously unconstitutional.

wow unanimous. hooray, as you can see, voting clearly works.

"scientific value for minors" ... hmmm, i sense a loophole. Nun Rape 5 : Cross Country Catholic Smackdown available for all ages, as long as they promise to try and figure out how the streaming works.

"My purpose is to have the stores put the signs up, and make sure that at least some of the painfully oblivious parents in this state who are letting their kids play this garbage maybe take a little bit of note before they do that."

One man's garbage is another man's Shakespeare.
