The article containing my take on this issue is already up. Oh, and CNN weighs in Seriously though, Take Two is getting off lightly. I can't wait for that inevitable class action lawsuit that is about to spring up. [ 07-21-2005, 11:48 AM: Message edited by: Supreme Cmdr ]

Only non-IEMA members will be pulling the current version off the shelves. quote: HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (July 20) - The trade group representing the $10-billion-dollar computer and video game industry's leading retailers, the Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA), has issued the following statement regarding the revocation of the ÔÇ£MatureÔÇØ rating for the controversial video game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. ÔÇ£The ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) notified us late this afternoon Eastern Time that they have revoked the ÔÇ£MatureÔÇØ rating previously issued for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, following an extensive investigation. Our members intend to immediately cease all sales of the game until existing inventory can either be re-stickered with an AO (Adults Only) rating, or exchanged for new versions of the game that has the hidden content removed and the original M (Mature 17+) rating intact. Though not a policy, IEMA members generally do not carry AO-rated games any differently than we do not carry X-rated videos or DVDs, thus it is likely that our members will be removing all copies of the current version and re-stocking with the updated version.ÔÇØ We understand that several non-IEMA retail companies intend to continue selling the current version, so we would refer all media inquiries to those respective corporations. Oh, and IGN has a pic of one of the offensive material in the game. Complete with bad graphics.

At least according to Goyer

I would appreciate it if folks refrained from posting to people who no longer have the ability to post here.

For those of you who either never played it, don't play it anymore etc, here is how you can revive the urge. [*]Install FS2 from the CD-ROM [*]Install the patch. You can get it at several places. e.g. over on Avault [*]Install the FSOpen updates [*]If you want to play multiplayer, go here for access to the PXO replacement server. Have fun!! Some important news coming soon

If you read back a few more messages, you will see that I'm talking about the show coming to sci-fi and with the missing episodes which never aired on Fox.

But the buildings have no chance of survival. The gun has nothing to do with the TLD because it doesn't use it. It will auto-track a moving target and will compensate. You just have to keep firing. It does take some skill. quote: Originally posted by Skydive: BTW, I had to burn my wish list. OK, thats kinda extreme.

heh

I am re-opening the topic. Street, you have been temp banned. You've had too many warnings already. Carry on guys and if the offensive posts need to be deleted and admin/mod will do so shortly.

The ESRB have re-rated the game and slapped R* with a AO for the version currently on the shelves. You can read about it here. Take2 also released new guidelines for investors. This farce is going to cost them big. A lot more than the estimated $10m.

I don't think the show sucks. At least not on the levels of ST Enterprise (which totally sucked IMO). Its just that I'm not into all this political shit and drama. They've turned the whole effing thing into a sci-fi soap opera. I can't wait for Firefly to come back.

What I want to know is, who took the pics?

He won't have a profile if he is running the freeware version, will he?

OK, this had me cracking up.

TWO MORE DAYS!!!!

Yes, that kid is a travesty to our American school system. Seriously, do they actually write like that in school? Oh, yeah, the XBox360 is over here.

AICN has a preview on DOOM. Sounds like it might work. Besides, its now rated R. Scriv should be ecstatic right about now.

Well, looks like we're probably getting another one.

I am beginning to find it more offensive than anything I see of TV or in the Movies. You know what? You're right. It must be something in the water. Seriously, c'mon guys, everyone has a right to an opinion on this board, as long as they adhere to our rules and regs, don't go overboard, don't abuse others, certainly NO ANTI-AMERICAN sentiments (thats an immediate perma-ban, no questions asked etc etc). Remo has whip. A really long whip. So, if anyone gets banned for not following the rules, I'm not getting involved. Back to the show. It sux. quote: Originally posted by Race Bannon IV: which I now avoid like the red death. Chicken

Yay!?!

Talk about beating a dead a$$

....uhm, didn't they win an Emmy?

It was #1 with $55m. I wanna hurt someone. Anyway, since this thread seems to be about religion and which usually gets out of hand (like the political discussions), I think I'll step over here and keep my mouth shut.
