Bay Area Lawmaker Wants to Keep Minors from Buying Violent
Video Games (thanks HomeLAN
Fed) has word of an effort in the Bay Area to curtail minors' access to
violent video games that would classify all first-person shooters as adult only
by their very nature. Here's a bit:
Assemblyman Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) plans to introduce legislation this week that would keep minors from purchasing first shooter videogames, where players need to kill in order to advance.
“These first person shooter videogames really teach kids how to stalk and how to maim and torture and kill people,” Yee said. “That’s not what we should be doing for our kids.”
Yee is also a child psychologist, and he said, it is time to “draw the line.”
The bill would penalize retailers and other stores that sell the games to anyone under the age of 17. A second bill would require video game retailers to separate children's games from adult games.
Oh, the horror. I used QWER before that crap was even invented. WASD is like second worst to arrow keys
Same here - although for a couple of years I was playing ESDF thanks to Tribes2
Now back to playing that crap since I'm a left handed freak who's having trouble finding an alternate decent layout that really works for me in the main games I play.
Anyway back on topic -

One question oh enlightend right-winger Leland Yee: Can we use computers draw the line since we wouldn't be using them for gaming ?

P: I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
