the House Judiciary Committee on Civil Law in Illinois approved "The Safe Games Illinois Act" Which makes the sale of video games rated M and some T rated games to anyone under the age of 18 illegal. Violaters will face up to a year in prison of $5,000 fine, or both. The game that will fall under this act will be labeled with a warning similar to the "Parental Advisory" label found on music CDs. There will also be posters explaining the video game rating system in detail at stores which sell video games. "A retailer’s failure to properly label games or place proper signs is punishable by a $1,000 fine for the first three violations and a $5,000 fine for every subsequent violation." Illinois is the the first state to have something like this done.
My opinion: They are making games look like something that is wrong, and something that causes wrong doing, I'm shock at reading this. I do agree that certain games shouldn't be sold to minors (like BMX XXX), however i think the warning labels are crossing the line. There treating video games like porn or drugs and their not even close to anything like that. This is a sad day for video game players.
That's pretty dumb. Why shouldn't teens be able to buy games that are rated T (T for Teen)? I understand that teens should not play M rated game, but why T rated games also?
This is really interesting, because I definitely just purchased Hitman: Contracts yesterday at an EB Games in Illinois. When was this legislation passed, because they definitely didn't seem to care, unless I appear to be 18 years old, but I'm sure appearance doesn't cut it in a court of law and they should probably ID me. Oh well, I'm not going to complain, it's a dang good game.

Better graphics and more pixels and 30 buttons does not mean a better game. Far from it. I think

I personally own MANY pets and my GF and I have a thing for taking pictures of them (They usually
either look cool, funny or cute so its a no brainer that a camera appears) here are a few shots of
my fish: I got rather excited the other day because my plecostomus (who is named Pelco) decided to
strike a pose on the side of the tank so I quickly grabbed my GF's camera and started taking
pictures. This is probably the best photo I have taken of him, he just sat there and allowed me to
take it so I got really lucky. Here are more angles: Also here are a few....

I believe that it is a bit of both. It really depends on many factors, especially factors dealing
with the person being exposed to the content. As we live and grow, our behavior develops on the
experiences that we go through growing up. We form our reactions, thoughts, and methods of thinking
on these foundations. Examples: 1.) If you were sexually abused by a family member, you may
develop a fear and general distrust of people altogether. 2.) If you were raised to fight and bully
others, you might resort to violence to solve problems in the future. Video games as ....

So I was watching the News the other day, which is slightly unusual to me when a Report came up on
Video Game Addictions. I thought this was sort of weird, because Video games don't contain
nicotine, or an addictive substance, at least I hope, but further on the Report started to make more
sense. It explained Video Games cause a psychological addiction ,and the addiction occurs because of
the experience, and the good feeling you get from playing them. I am a gamer myself and never
realized the addiction, so this Report sort of scarred me a bit. Now that I look back o....
I know that there has been many at times, when for some reason or the other, people would want to
disable the ability of Windows XP to boot into safe mode. Even though that this is not a very thing
advisable thing to do, but still, people, due to some reasons best known to them would always want
to do this. The other day, a friend of mine who works in (manages is the right word) a cyber cafe
was heads over toes, trying to figure out to to disable the safe mode boot in Windows XP. His
reason..... customers are hacking into their computers and browsing free of charge by b....

I've done tons of carnival games in my life, but here are the ones that I think are the biggest
ripoffs: 1. The basketball game. Those rims are so screwed up, Michael Jordan couldn't even
make it. 2. I don't know what it was called, but you have to cover this big circle with 5 round
discs. None of the circle can be showing in order to win. 1 chance for $3, 2 chances for
$5. If you did it successfully twice, you won an Xbox 360! I thought that sounded
promising, so I gave it a try. Of course, the person working the booth kept doing it perfectly....

format it has. I suppose maybe we are to used to need for speed's racing games and when we play
other ones there is little chance they will much up to the standards that need for speed have set

I don't know about you but I am a major fan on mmorpg pirate games, they are so much different
than world of warcraft or those mmorpgs, I love how you can own a ship and go around and kill
pirates and all that great stuff. I am really wanting to play a new pirate game that is free. I want
it to be the type where you can buy a ship and go kill pirates and all that awesome stuff. I already
know about the following pirate games: Dogs of the seas(This game is alright but cannot be played
nonstop) Puzzle Pirates(Highly addictive, I just got tired of it) World of Pirates(T....

Do you play Neopets? It's a brilliant website where users can interact and have fun for free.
You own a virtual pet and have to pay for its upkeep by buying it toys, food and other items to
improve it. To do this, you play games to earn neopoints, the Neopets currency. All the games are
versions of popular games (only featuring Neopets characters) and once you have items, you can then
trade them in your own shop with other users. You can create your own guild (online communities
with private forums), battle in the Battledome (which is basically an RPG game) with ....

GunBound is a really fun and addictive game. It's free to download at gunbound.net It's
based on the original game called Scorched Earth. Players choose a tank, known as a mobile, and get
to choose a limited number of items that can be used. It's a two-dimentional game, very
colorful, good graphics, and good music. The players aim and shoot from a choice of three different
weapons, each tank/mobile having its own unique shots. Different mobiles have different shot types
and defence types, giving certain mobiles a small advantage or disadvantage over cert....
C'mon face it, video games are a complete waste of your time! Every time you turn on your

anything out of this, does this make me a better person?"....
