Ugh, why must the controversial sex stuff ALWAYS get on the news!?

It's simple, because as far as old people are concerned, gaming is for nothing more than little kids. It's only ever going to be for kids, and will never be for adults, at least not until those of us who grew up playing games become those in charge. Once we're in charge, we'll find something new to rally against. It's how the cycle works.

May I ask why the Kinect Sex Game wasn't blocked and Lego violence was? Kinda baffles me...

Anyway, a good week!
