Man. Don't get me wrong. I love Australia. They play some of the greatest sports around (Two codes of Rugby, which are like American Football, except played by people in better shape and without pads, Australian Rules Football... you don't know Aussie Rules? It's the one when they score a goal the goal judge sticks both his fingers out like he's a Old West gunfighter? Yeah, that one)... they are one of the more "Macho" nations out there
But they sure don't like video games.
They just had a decade long fight over releasing games there, that was supposed to end when they added the equivalent of an R rating. (Before, if a game had violence or whatever, the game would be "refused classification", which meant it could not be sold in the country).
Well, the Nanny Nation is at it again, even with the new classification, two new games ran into the Brick Wall that is Australian censorship, with State of Decay being denied classification yesterday, and then today, the news that Saints Row 4 was denied classification today, for amongst other things, the Alien Anus Probe.
Which is just funny, if you ask me.
Australia, you're made up of some awesome folks, you're way ahead of us on some political things (I heard some conservative friends suggest they should move to Australia due to some recent decisions. When I explained Australia's views on these issues, they quickly changed their minds).. but seriously? Come on. I don't have a problem with saying that minors shouldn't play it.. which should be the reason for such ratings. But to say that it would inherently warp adults minds?
Come on. Give your countrymen more credit than that.
((and Aussies, if you need help on Steam, let me know))
