The only 'Tween' I recognize as legitimate is in Macromedia Adobe Flash.
Every other instance I've seen has come from some slaphead journalist trying to be "trendy".

I'm suprised only 36% of males chose Cod as their favourite. I can't take a couple of steps in my school about how '1337' they are in it.
Let's hope there is a drought while the're in power.selce said:
It's funny to see how many guys here tend to hate what kids do, even if they are just variations of what they did at that age (for example, you couldn't mic spam as there was almost no voice chat support at those times, unless you are like 16 and you are doing the exact same thing as those guys).
tweens not that bad a word lol though I haven't heard it in years. I just called them children because they are children until their reproductive organs start growing and getting hairy. then they are teens.
12yos are still children yes.
teens start at 13 imo because its spelt thirTEEN I think that's why they call em teens
This news doesn't suprise me. my little brothers play cod etc. just mute them. then all they are just bad players. (some of them can beat you and me easily though)
the world is filled with smut they are goign to get into it somehow, whether it's games or whatever, parent should just pre empt behaviours they may develop due to online gaming. teach your children about courtesy. if it doesn't work take the stuff you bought them away, until they learn. also teach them that you bought them that stuff so its yours.
i know its not that easy but atleast it's some thought toward a solution that doesn't involve just ignoring what your kids are doing and hoping that they listen to what your saying.
and ffs TAKE THE MIC AWAY FROM THEM OUT OF COMMON COURTESY FOR ADULTS! nothing puts me off more than playing LEFT 4 DEAD 2 only to be bossed around by a kid. even if the kid is a good player its still a kid so shouldnt be sassing me even if it is anonymous internets communication. tbh hearing a kids voice on the mic at all is kinda high pitched whiny irritating nonsensical annoyance in a bottle for me.

I don't mind tweens or what ever they want to be called as long as they arn't making pains of themselves in my headset on live.
I have three thoughts on this:
1) Pedobear approves.
2) I find this objectionable on the same grounds that I find most breakfast cereal ads objectionable now that I'm an adult. Marketing's a far greater threat to young minds than Grand Theft Auto ever was. Turn 'em into obedient little consumers and break the will of their parents.
3) On the bright side, like Tom mentioned, at least when these kids grow up they won't be like "ew, gaming, let's ban it!"

Yeah, I faintly remember the days when I'd invite my friends over for Capcom vs SNK on the PlayStation when I was 12. That is, when we weren't outside. Playing football (the kind that's played with feet, not armpits). Good days.
Now? I'm getting fag bashed by people half my age who can barely speak their own language, listening to a child's vivid description of what he "did to my mum the other night", the racial epithets and their complete social ineptitude... Great.
Fortunately, I haven't seen it too much. I don't play online much and definitely not Call of Duty. Those kids are scary when they play. Even scarier when you're kicking their ass.
