I signed up and I'd sign up even if I wasn't a gamer...I hate that Soccer mom's who don't realize a game is mature until their 7 year old is playing it should have a voice in congress while gamers don't even get a news story about it.

This is a simple one people. Smaller Government, more freedom. Smaller Government means less ass fucking "Social Justice" tits running around trying to tell you what to breath, what to eat and what to think, and what should be considered fun. I don't care the stupid party shit, like my beliefs can be broken down to one of two colors. We need people in government who doesn't wave a carrot in front of our faces drawing us ever closer to the bondage of slavery. We need a government that says, "Don't fucking kill people for shits and giggles, no raping, no pillaging, no stealing, and no more fucking handouts your lazy mother fuckers!"

Governments only involvement in video games should me. "You want to play video games, you play those kick ass video games, I don't give a fuck."

So look who is in government now, and I don't care what color they are, are they for leaving you alone and living your peaceful life, or are they out to fuck with you in the name of Social Justice, because some cock sucking crack whore needs your money for their next fix? Do they not concern themselves with what you eat, drink, worship, and play, or are they demanding that you eat, drink, worship, and play only what they deem correct. Do they let you accept what you want to accept or do they demand that you accept shit you don't want to fucking accept, because everything has to be fair and equal for everyone. Are they the type that tell schools that their can't be winner and losers in sports because they don't want anyones feelings to be hurt?

I would love to see a online FPS in the hands of those control freaks in Washington, where everyone wins no one loses and everyone gets the same achievements even though some did all the fucking work? Who would play video games then? Fuck Progressive liberal dicks who think like that, Fuck big government whores who want to regulate, and control everything.

Simply put, fuck Social Justice. Give me personal Freedom! Society can handle itself without big brother getting in the way and trying to turn us into their Proles, dependent brainless slaves who need the government to give them food, water, medicine and are incapable of surviving without the government doing everything for them.

You want Video Games free of Government intervention, take away governments power, vote for people who want to do that, not segway shit into social matters like Abortion, Gays, and who are bigger dicks drug using Hollywood elites or drug using Sports Stars.... They should simply stop lazy fucks from robbing you and killing you, make sure other fuckers don't come in to our country and do same.

The argument of who regulates Banks and cooperations should fall loosely under the government, to make sure they don't fucking rob you and shit, but not bail them out when they fuck up.

Yeah I am ranting, and I am sure your stupid slaves Proles of the Socialists Progressive Liberal cock masters will all want to come and kill me. I say come on over, I have a .40 semi auto and some hydra-shok rounds waiting for you. I think you would want me to reduce your carbon footprint by denying the earth of your pathetic breathing.

If you want to live like a slave, have the government feed you, care for you and make sure everything is equal, take your fat ass to fucking North Korea. I know for a fact your lose weight on your sawdust bread diet. Your all donkey fuckers just like all your Progressive Socialist friends like Stalin and Hitler.

See you on the flip side.

I'm all for video games not being banned, but this sounded like (and probably was) it was written by someone else for an ad, then just put *insert silly yahtzee-like comment here* whenever they wanted him to make a funny.

I'm American, but the south one. And I wonder, what the hell is happening?! I mean, all that talk of freedom that the American (North) kill to defend. This don't make sense.

Aw, he sold out! What a waste, now other companies will be bribing him to get their name in special episodes. I'm legitimately pissed off at Yahtzee for one of the first times yet. Shame on you.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe he's doing this not because he was paid, but because it's a worthy cause that's both worth fighting for, and also one that's flying under the radar and desperately needs someone with star power to call attention to it (even if it is just internet celebrity star power)? Yahtzee doesn't seem like the type of person who'd sell out for just anyone who offered him bribes, especially considering this is a 'are games art?' issue, which Yahtzee has previously sided with the 'yes they are' camp. Furthermore, the ESA, the ones who requested Yahtzee make this video, are not a corporation, they're a trade association, which are typically non-profit organizations, so it's not like they're profiting from this. It's not like people who got to VGVN are going to make the ESA money. They're raising awareness that, hey, all those video games that you love? They could potentially end up censored and butchered if some politicians get their way, and if you don't stand up and make your voice heard, they very well may succeed. And you think you're safe just because you're in a foreign country? Yeah, no, because many games are still made in the US and will be affected by any laws it passes, regardless of whether you live there, which means you get double screwed because it affects you and there's nothing you can do about it, except draw attention to it so that lazy americans get off their asses and start actually paying attention to politics.

And if the idea that maybe he's offering to help out a good cause pisses you off and indicates he's 'selling out', well, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Remind me who you are and what effect your existence has on the march of progress in Western civilization again?

Ain't that what you usually do when America is busy making a decision that has potential to affect the world at large?

And thank you, Valkyrie. I'm sure at least one person read that.

Thank you so much for this. Sometimes I wish I didn't work for the Government (US Army counts I think). I love my video games from CoD MW II to Portal and I'll be damned if they get regulated. Keep doing what your doing Mr. Croshaw.

Ooh, a patriot! Intimidating. Your American-ness is very scary to me. Let me continue being an insignificant little fuck in the corner while America marches forward and becomes the only country that exists. I'm sure it'll be alot better for everyone, no?

As for who I am, I'm not from America, so why would you care?

You shouldn't care.. if you're okay with the potential of every game being as mature as Barbie Pony Adventures that is. If you, on the other hand, actually enjoy games that take on challenging story content or involve some level of blood/gore then you might want to start caring.

I definitely give them my vote. Any support is better than none! I hope things change for the better because of this.

I was all emotionally prepared for yahtzee to be announcing his retirement :(

Oh well. Yeah I'll be voting whenever possible about this issue. Censorship is ridiculously stupid.
