Instead of bitching about him in a million threads, lets just bitch about him in one

Those of you that are under 18, you do realize if a rating for R came out, more games would likely be rated R (the ones that have borderline passed into MA) Game retailers will be MUCH stricter on selling these games aswell meaning you would need a parent to go buy it for you and there is a good chance your parents will say no if you ask for an R game.
Just keep that in mind


If a game is rated anything above MA15+, kids shouldn't get their hands on it anyway


That's a bit of a generalisation, don't you think? I don't see the problem in letting people under the age of 15 (Min of 10) playing games like Call of Duty. I completely agree with you about Res5 or something like that. Having said that though, I don't think Left 4 Dead 2 should have an R18+ rating. That's just ridiculous.



RES5 isn't that bad at all, I'd let a 12 year old play that game. It's a fun game especially when played on Coop. I don't know why it's classified as SURVIVAL HORROR. I mean I know there's Zombies, and you have to survive, but where's the horror? I know I'm getting off-topic, just thought I'd give my 2c on this.

I hope Atkinson dies. And returns as a zombie.
Then we will be able to tell the Government that they can't stop him from eating people, because he is human and we are not allowed to hurt humans, even if they are undead, flesh-eating corpses.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if some angry gamer killed him. I wouldn't be sad either.

We'll tell David Hicks that Atkinson was badmouthing Allan/Aslan/Altair/whatever his name his.

Almost shat my pants
He seriously needs to get some illness (or death) that will make him unable to preform ludicrous decisions.
He's already unable to perform, that's why he complains about video games. Zing.

in his mind we should be all living in dictatorship or worst
www.news.com.au/

We all know his story so far but now he has set a challenge for us gamers.

"I am next up for election in March 2010. The state district I represent is called Croydon. I would welcome advocates of R18+ computer games testing public acceptance of my policy by standing a candidate against me," he said.



Luckily the people of Croydon already have one: www.gamers4croydon.org/

If you are from the area keep this in mind around election time.

Damn being in Sydney..
I would if I could be bothered. Go Croydon!

DOO EEEETT!!
His logic is flawed in 2 parts of his interview. 1. He says that they can't control people under the age of 18 from plyaing these games once they are in a private home. Well you can't controll a kid getting into dads dirty movie collection either but they are in houses. And 2 he says he is ok giving a lower rating to games that are normally R18 in other countries so he doesn't have to get the more violent games. So he is actually advocating that people younger than anywhere else in the world access to games that are deemed not appropriate for that age group outside of Australia. He is a muppet

I agree, Damn voting for the seat of Werriwa, Damn it to hell!
Here is one for the QLD'ers around here: www.parliament.qld.gov.au/

Yes, it is another petition, but this one is actually tied to the gov't meaning it actually has a chance of being taken seriously.

If you are to sign any petition, ever, this is the one!

Get your mum to sign aswell!
Edit: Take it back.

Lol, editing posts won't change anything....



This new position of yours comes with overall scorn from established members and a general lack of interest in anything you say, enjoy.

Figured I'd dredge up a classic thread for this news...

This guy is a douche. Honestly though, I don't think even he realised the sh*tstorm he was creating when he first decided to speak out.
