See what wonders Wikipedia can do if you bother reading it? And I didn't mean to be an arse, but she was neither an anchor or reporter (the anchor did make allegations, but she didn't retract, so I assumed you weren't talking about her). Thanks for looking it up, though.Zing89 said:
As I usually say about these issues... the Bible desensitised me to deplorable horrific violence before games ever got a chance.

This gives me an idea for a game: Call of Duty: Michael Atkinson's Unfortunate Russian Holiday...
Normally, I figure the best policy when it comes to people like this is to ignore them. They don't know anything about games and most don't want to learn, and that's their choice. It'd be nice if they wouldn't go on ignorant rants about the evil of video games so often, but hey, what can you do? There's a difference here though, because Micheal actually has the power to ban games he deems unacceptable. Not something you can brush off so easily. He's misinformed on the whole issue too, which certainly doesn't help.
I don't get it, what goes on in the minds of these people? Why do they think they are so "good" and their own opinions and "morals" are better than every one else's? It's fucking disgusting to think that one fucking man can decide morals and "whats right" for a whole fucking country.
Why thank you.Seasons of Bailey said:
I just find it ironic whenever Christians want to ban violent media.
Seriously. I have now found a politican I actually want assassinated. If this does work (I highly doubt it will) then MW2 will be the only game's rating he's ever had a say in. The thing with L4D2 was the OFLC's fault, but it's also Atkinson's fault for not allowing an R18+ rating which would solve all our ratings problems. Still, none of it stops me and my friends from playing the uncensored L4D2!
But why is he doing this? Definately not for our benifit. The entire Australian gaming industry wants him to FUCK OFF. It's only a matter of time before people stop pissing in the wind and kick this asshole out of our government.
Besides, Activision and Infinity Ward have made a shitload of money on MW2 and they're not about to lose some of it from a country because of a political headache.
It'd be like trying to ban every Halo game. Pfft. Good luck Atkinson you stupid, inconsiderate fuck.

What amuses me most is that you can sledghammer kids in the crotch in Fallout 3 and i can't remember any uproar about that yet this guy is getting pissed off about killing a few russians
