It's rated M? Maybe that's only in Australia, because from what I've seen, I don't see Dissaster: DoC being an 'M' game. On the other hand, we know almost nothing about this game, so it could be mature.

M? Hmmm.. that's a surprise.. some on the site aren't old enough to buy the game! lol

M...I thought it was gonna be M the whole time. I mean you have some corrupt government, natural disasters, and of course violence and the occasional cursing when that happens...right?

Keep in mind that Australia has a rating system that is very different from our own: any game that's not suitable for anyone under fifteen years of age is automatically rated "M", which is the highest their system goes. So the gunplay alone is probably enough to put it over the edge down there.

 

If it comes out in 08 in the states, Bush will probably push for the M rating here... you know, poor government response to disasters.

Alright, Im usually silent to crap like this but I just have to speak up.

The problem with Katrina has nothing to do with the federal government but to do with Louisiana's AWFUL (now ex) state governor Kathleen Blanco and the New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin.

 

I see neither the specific Federal Government nor Bush being blamed in my post.  I don't see Katrina mentioned either. 

Maybe I was talking about the brush fires in FL or CA that took weeks for anyone but the fire dept and the home owners to notice. 

Maybe the disasters in question were the 4 hurricanes that ran through my town in 04. 

Perhaps, I was referring to the 100's of thousands who are stuck in trailers, still, to this day because the federal government would rather keep a free trailer park than stick a few bucks in their pocket one time and cut them loose.

Maybe, I was talking about the disaster in Iraq?

The disaster at the gas pumps.  Where gas costs 300% of what it did 8 years ago (or 200% more, depending how you like your wording) while supply is up more than demand is.  Because, the president, the previous congress, and the Federal Reserve support a restricted market that allows for speculation in the name of free markets.

Maybe it's the disaster of the United States health care system.  Where a libertarian, like me, is going to vote Democrat because socialized medicine would be a hell of a lot better than Republicans in the pockets of HMOs who support regulation to keep prices high through creating artificial barriers to entry.

Or maybe I was talking about Katrina, and how it is the President's responsibility to maintain the readiness of the National Guard and issue a state of emergency regardless of what the governor says or thinks.  Maybe it had something to do with FEMA under Bush giving money to countless scam artists.


Maybe it was just a joke, and you need to lighten up... it's just a video game forum.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
