In Response To: Court Ruling! (Tynskel)

Yeah, well, i agree with the LoD. It's promoting lazy parenting. If the parents would just get off their goddamn lazy asses and read the rating before buying a mature rated game for their six year old kid, it's their own damn fault. They get, no points. Hell, they get negative points.

Some programmers today put as much effort into the code, and story, as goes into the most intricate of structures, scumptures, prose, poetry and artwork in general. To say that their labours are nothing better than pinball is nothing short of a furious kick in their collective "mean bean machine"

Even DOOM can be considered a form of expression. You express your intense hatred of the damn dirty aliens that have killed your buddies, and are standing between you and that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with finishing a game.

Lastly, as i dont want to turn this into an actual essay. . .just yet. If videogames are not a mean of expression, and not a means of telling a story, why in GODS name are we making MOVIES out of them!? Although the judge is probably opposed to fun as well, well, he's SO going to hell.

maybe we should just point him towards the marathon story page
