LOL, I remember hearing about that. I'm surprised how bad the censorship is over there. I think I might find a german copy of HL, just for kicks.

Vertigo are you talking about Melbourne, Florida? If so there was a gaurd killed in the Merritt Island Mall, is that what your talking about? He ran out after a robber and the gettaway driver ran him over with their car? I remember it on the news they tryed to blame Half-Life. Is Half-Life the only game with violence, do they just pick a game that has violence and pertains to what happened..

little kids shouldnt play violent video games, but keeping children from playing/watching/listening to anything of this sort should be a choise of the parents, not the gov't. god damn, im moving to canada. Video games to tend to have a negitive effect on people, but tobacco and booze are way worse, but yet nobody seems to be concered with that. We have plenty of proof that people die from drunk drivers and get really sick from second hand smoke, but nobody seems to think that either of these should be illeagle. Seriously, I think These guys are just pissed because they sucked at doom or somthing.

over here in England people dont seem to care about PC games at all really, they are given a rating and forgotten about, probably due to the fact that if a kid is taken to a football match here they are likely to be caught in a riot , hear the most foul language possible an see an average of 10 fights between rival fans!

isn't football great.
