Obiex, have you ever:
a) poured gas on someone, set them on fire, and shot them as they ran around screaming?
b) chopped someone's head off with a shovel and then urinated on their body?
c) lit yourself on fire and then put it out with your own urine?
d) killed a cop, a swat team member, or a member of the U.S. military?
e) gone to jail and shot your way out?
f) shot at elephants to make them rampage and kill people?
g) shot someone in the head with a shotgun?
h) thrown a severed cow head at someone?
i) stuck a shotgun up a cat's ass and then pulled the trigger?
j) murdered someone in any way?
I'll go ahead and ask you one more question: What is your view on actual violence?
I'll bet that Obiex has never done any of those things. I'll even go so far to guess that he thinks it's wrong to do those things. But he enjoys playing Postal 2. If I'm correct, you know what this means: Violent videogames are still videogames, and are a form of art. As long as no one dies in the process of making them, and as long as it isn't actual terrorist propoganda (which unfortunately today could be loosely defined. But hey, Bush is in office; anything can happen), they should be readily available to appropriate audiences. And no, I don't think age is the most efficient measurement of appropriateness, but it is the least intrusive. I'm not saying we shouldn't let anyone under the age of 18 play GTA: San Andreas; I'm just saying videogames and movies should have the same guidelines. Last I checked, it's still legal for my 12 year old brother to go rent "Braveheart."
