Australian R18+ Rating for Games

Okay.

So adult gamers over here are completely sick of games being censored to hell or banned completely when its not suitable for a maximum age of 15.

The fact that this rating will further restrict children's access to these games is the best part about having the rating. Game stores would have legal reasons to tell a kid that they can't have a certain game, instead of trying to convince them that it's not really suitable and then being yelled at by said kid.

The games that were supposed to have an R18 rating will get it and restrict children's access to these games even further.

The rating will also encourage Australian gamers to support their local game trading companies because they won't have to buy their uncensored games from overseas.

It will also make it easier for the Australian Game Development companies to make games without having ridiculous limitations looming over their projects.

If you're in Australia and, like me, would really like your games untarnished by the ridiculously outdated rating system.

sign the petition, and hopefully we get to play our games the way they should be played.

Darrel Lea?? I'd enjoy a nice spunky chocolate monkey for v-day :)

Aww. what the hell? nothing for your parents! I'd disown you

Naw no admirers.. and if I actually do, I don't want any of them haha.. but I'll most certainly take that cookie and rose from you :)

Monkeys!!!! Big monkeys in chocolate form :) Like easter egg bunnies... but er... Monkeys!!

Monkeys aren't a Valentines day thing, I think Darrel Lea just liked the idea of having monkeys for valentines day, haha.

I didn't even think of giving my parents choco on V-day.
How bad a kid am I?!?!?!

No admirers? I don't believe that Lufi.

Somone Coo-coo-chicked your chocolate supply (Kicked the chocolate of the previous admirer out of the way so theirs takes centre stage)

At least you got a cookie and a rose from me hehe

haha I don't have admirers, no way... well if me mum counts. that choco's the only food I had until now (10 hours later) Now I'm eating some korean udon soup mmmm.
I had to work V-Day too. but all I did was play some computer games woowoooo. haha

chocolate monkeys? is that an actual thing?

Yeah I don't like celebrating V-Day either.. I just send stuff to my parents and grandparents.. that's it :)
~nushie:iconnushie: Feb 14, 2008, 4:25:02 PM
lol, lots of admirers lufi?!

I had to work on Valentines day sadly.

Royface got a butt load of chocolate after work when I got home ^^;

Chocolate monkeys are awesome!!

Didn't really do anything, Royface calls it a corporate holiday haha

It's alright, I used to be cynical about it once too!

:O happy Valentine's to you too! Is it already over for you now? My day's definitely been filled with candy so far... two chocolate hearts for breakfast and a few kitkats and hershey bars.. that's all I've eaten :( I don't know how children do it.

You and Roy-face do anything special for V-Day? :)

I'm seeing inspiration (style-wise) from a lot of Shonen manga in your work, but theme-wise it all looks unique (and that's entirely a good thing) :D

I'm even worse at updating. Take a look at the dates for my last three or four updates to dA!!

haha hey, Where do I get my inspiration from?!

I'm really bad at updating. One of these days I'll finish something and post it!

Hey hey, finally made it.
Love the gallery - I can see where you get your inspiration from (well, some of it). When I get some more time I'll be sure to take a better look around.

Cya 'round >_<
