Friends don't let friends read Robert Jordan.
At this point, I'm waiting for the novel where he kills them all just so that the series will finally be over.
I'm just saying that even though the ERSB is standing on very shaky ground with the topless mod, there are still grounds for an M rating because of the gore and violence. Why can't they leave it at that, instead of trying so hard to make it about sex?
If you've played the game, there's more than enough violence and gore to earn a mature rating. I'm thinking in particular of the final Dark Brotherhood quest, and that daedra quest with the mad wizard...it was pretty "Resident Evil"-esque. Personally, I like the violence and gore. I don't really care that it's rated M, but I'm pretty sure the M rating is appropriate. The real question is how did the ESRB miss all of that gore? Maybe their just making a big deal about the topless mod to smokescreen the fact that the game should never have gotten a Teen rating.
Let me preface my comments by saying that I live in the Valley (near McAllen and Brownsville). I play video games. I also teach in the poorest school district in the state. So, theoretically the money they raise would come here. But should we be pouring resources into a system this defective?
But you're talking about Russia, where copyrighted DVDs and CDs share shelf space with knockoff pirated media and no one cares. It's not like that happens here.
There's a pretty big difference between proper Castelian Spanish and the language of the streets in Mexico. You have to unlearn the bad habits you've learned before you can really learn the grammatically correct version.
*Descent. Because of this game, I decided to get a degree in computer science.
*Final Fantasy. Because of ff7, I bought a secret playstation.
*Street Fighter 2 (Turbo!) for the SNES. My mom wouldn't let me play it because it was a boy's game (plus she though it was the horrible "Mortal Kombat" that she heard so much about on tv). She made me play "Barbie Supermodel" instead:(
*Super Mario Land for the gameboy. So good that it doesn't need shiny graphics.
*The Legend of Zelda: A link to the past for SNES. FINALLY! A game where I don't have to have perfectly timed combos or fancy jumping skills to lay some smack down.

this. As they say, "Ever hear of a Mac gamer? Neither have we."
