Man, that's just sad.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Btw, I blame the Allied led pussification of Germany post WW2. :P

Quotespree killers always played such games before they did the crime.
:lol:

I wish we could find out the video games history's uncountable serial killers and genocidists were playing.

Also, who doesn't play video games, often violent, these days?  Your not going to find many people, at least under a certain age, who don't.  Of course a young lunatic who massacres people plays video games, almost all young people do.

This is nasty, dumb legislation, sheesh. Too broad a brush at the least, as it could cover so many games. Real life has violence, even games like Civ, EU, what ever have some forms of violence, though it seems doubtful they'd be covered by this, not at first anyway. More of the nanny state going over board. This will hit the US, and occasionally does in some form.

In the future, people will remember the Bremerhaven Conference about the Final Solution For Video Games better than the Wannsee Conference.  :cry:

Yes.

If we followed Patton's advice, and used the Germans to help conquer the Soviets, this never would have happened.   :(

Didn't they already outlaw white text and unit markings on black counters? :(

Nice. I should open a shop, near the German border.

Germany should be banned. Morgenthau had the right plan.  <_<

Give me white on black SS counters, or give me death.

Pathetic. They were going to blame paint balling a while back too (though that failed).
