... In all honesty, I feel that video games were a lot more fun when I was younger. Back then games were made to be fun, now it's all just blood and gore.
I too missed the days when games are fun and involving... now, i just play Lineage II hoping a half naked female dark elf comes walking by most of the night when I drive home from work.

Opinion Piece:
Parents are just afraid to say "no" to their little brats and want others to look out for them.
Where I live people are concerned about people driving fast near homes and schools. There are so many traffic signs it's confusing. When ever some people talk about fixing the confusing traffic rules some parent group or another step forward and scream "Won't some body think of the childern?"
Won't some body think about us adults who think it's retarded to drive this way? No I don't want to run over someone's kid but there would be nothing to worry about if a parent just watched the little bastards. Yes people are morons who will let there kids play out in the middle of the street. Instead of doing their job and watching their kids they expect society to watch out for them.
Same thing goes for the kids form of entertainment.  Hasn't nearly every game or movie that some parents flip have out about been clearly marked as not for kids? Ratings or not titles and subject matter gives you a pretty good clue of what's for kids. I've been in a video store once and saw a kid pick up a MA rated game. I've pointed out I think that's too old for you. Then saw the clerks sale the kid the game. You can say lets make a law so the clerk won't sale the game or a law that will ban all such games from being made. However, who should really be looking out for the kid? The parent who should see what their kid brought home and kick their asses for doing so.
I'm a selfish arrogant a-hole of adult who doesn't give a crap about your little pissed faced bastard spawn of satan. If I see your little bastard is in a burning building I might risk my neck to save their worstless life but I'm not gonna give up my fun cause you don't want to watch your waste of DNA.
Merry X mas!!!!

We are getting to political, time to close and erase... and the funny thing, there was no poo being thrown.

You can't place 100% of the responsibility on the parents. That is ridiculous. Sure parent's should be ones keeping on top of things and police their own children but not all parents are created equally and retailers should bear some of the responsibility.
I do blame them, I worked in retail, if the parents cannot open their eyes to a child's problem, then it is their fault. If parents cannot be mature and responsible enough to take care of their child, why did they have kids in the first place?
I gotta admit for those that do have a problem with children not based by environment, but within the child mentally or psychologically (not caused by the entertainment industry or parental behavior), I can't blame them for that.
The way I see it is that we have the ESRB and most retailers DO NOT repsect it. I have seen this first hand, so they should be fined for not follwoing the ESRB. The ESRB is not a governing body nor does it have any pull but does serve a need that parent's can use as a guide.um retailers respect the ESRB, however, we do not police customers, it breaks their ammendment right to privacy. We just warn them.
Unfortunately, mmany parents still think that games are still Pacman and Mario titles and have no idea of the amount of violence and sex, that many games have. I still play games because I like them and how the industry has matured the field. yet, I also play them and keep up to date to see what my kids want to play and decide if it's suitable for them or not.Times have changed, and I see the parents do buy these games and understand the difference, because most of them are my age or older. Parents are informed enough to know what titles are being bought and do ask questions.
Regardless, we need all the help we can get, especially in liberal states like California, New York, etc.... which are not family friendly. If kids want to play games, they will....by any means necessary, so road blocks like this new law, can only help. Hell, they should add to the law and include penalties for parent's who buy their kids inappropriate games and call it the "I'm a $tupid or non-caring parent law".One of the many reason for that is because they are playing into the parents fear. You need a way to control the kids actions and the government has found a way by releasing the responsibility of morality away from the parents and imposed it on a law. (I gotta read 1984 again.... 1+1=3)
Yes, kids will play the games any means necessary, the only way to break most of these is to ensure to take away their source of entertainment, be there when they are playing games, play the games with them, reduce the amount of time being played, question their taste in games, and ask if they understand the difference between reality and fantasy.
-
Then who's responsibility to ensure what is real or fantasy, certainly not the government (doesn't matter if they are Republican, Libertarian, democrapic, or Independant)?
Kids are still impressionable still at an early age, and will do the same thing a mother, father or older sibling may do. The child will then copy or atleast almost mimick the same action and consider it cool or alright to do. Especially if the older family members are acting in a way that may deemed inexcusable.
To the parent's that want the easy way out, the new babysitter in town comes in a shiny new box which includes a one time fee of about $200.00+ (console) and a game that is about $50.00+.
When I worked at Aladdin's Castle and EBGames, parents usually dropped off kids at our stores and expects us to baby sit for them while they go shopping.
-
I don't know how long this will be closed, or even erased... but the idea putting blame away for a kid's behavior from parent to a retailer is just plain wrong.
If a parent cannot control a kid because they are misbehaving, being unruly, no form of discipline, getting in trouble by the law, blamming the gamming industry while still buying violent games for their perfect little angels, and not take personal responsibility should get off their high horse of morality imposed stupidity, get spaded or nutered, join a convent and have a pole stuck up their rear end and not have kids literally.
BTW, I blame the gamming industry for replying into this post.

I am sorry, i mean Macross DYRL

I downloaded the latest MAME and played through the game... one question... Forgive me for not knowing since I have not played the original arcade, but... was that the actually background fx/music for the rom Macross game?

Stir in... prebubescent teenage scientist robot making female looking at 16 which can kick ass in a small armor with a high energy blasting canon which can use a force and scientifically explain the plot away that is as big as a quantum turbulant hole... and call it TrekWars.
huh...
Translated:
Get a teenage girl that has small armor, bug guns, stare down anyone, talk poo and likes giant robots.

Guess I can say that this is H.G.'s fast attempt to market the name Robotech (from a long time ago 1985), they are willing to license the name Robotech to any toy company that can give them big bucks... Quality need not apply, as long as you stick our name "Robotech" in the front of the box.
-
H.G. + Robotech = Sucks
FanBoy + Sucks = Love
Love + Sucks = Robotech
Here's proof:

I gotta agree with A1... btw, L.h. just looks ugly... pink.
BTW, the next generation of animation has been done by the companies like Squaresoft w/ Xenogears, FROM software's Armored Core, and even THQ's Ghost in the Shell for the PS1.

I would like to add wickedpr1nce for the trade and Valkyrie-Exchange, for being the middle man for the trade on one of my pre-orders... and having to put up with some of mistakes, changes and requests.

Besides a Valk... there is an A.C. unit.... nice.

Please give to the "I need a STRIP" fund and pm/email me, if you have extras to give away to me.

I would like a Film Strip..., Mine did not come with one.

What Starbuck of old and Starbuck of new flew where both experimental fighters.
One built for speed the other stealth.
That particular episode in the broadest sense parralled the original series in terms of making homade fighters.
If you need a talking computer, stick Boomer in as the headless C.H.U.D. ... Computerized Heads Up Display.
BTW.... would the posting for a Stealth Viper be grounds for a ban for the day?
-
I don't know if anyone noticed, but this episode also was a homage to much earlier BSG episode (The Long Patrol) where StarBuck flied a Recon Viper named C.O.R.A.
-
Pegasus.... the Cylon Battlestar with it's compliment of human toasters and fighters. J/K...
Who knows... with today's episode, anything can happen.

Because non-anime/manga fans would not understand the joke, it seemed inconsequential.
But for some odd reason it did keep to the manga portion of the series... and imo, it was not that bad.
at least, they did not use the the annoying voice used for M.D. Luffy.
