    Maybe the radiation rendered them unable to... reproduce?

    Maybe they reproduce asexually and the offspring are generated by budding off the parent like hydra plants. That way when the next generation is "born", they're already adults. Ha, I knew that Genetics course would come in handy some day.

    Ah, I knew there was a reason why I like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, but most particularly Jagged Alliance (due to the fact the kids drop their goddamn stupid baseball caps when they fall).

    Some one needs to make a mod for San Andreas so that all the gangsters're teen-agers, and to put in some schools and school buses. Because killing is much more fun when it's a bus of kids.

    P.S: I like Oblivion. Suck it.

    Too bad there was no worthy post there, otherwise I would suggest quoting it with a link in another forums

    About killing
    pixels or polygons
    kids, my opinion is unchanged that when their target audience "can't" buy PG-18 games, they'll sacrifice certain aspects of realism to get at least a PG-13. So CRPGs done for the target audience of teenager "1337" MMO boys won't have this kind of stuff. Of course chain mail bikinis conveniently aren't PG-18.

    Bethesda has a long history of diminishing content. Heck, every installation of the Elder Scrolls series have had less and less skills to play around with; of course Fallout 3 won't allow for childslaughter.

    Those fucking ratings are killing the industry.

    No one wants to make any Mature or AO rated games because Wal-Mart won't carry them. WalfuckingMart!

    Hmm, I go to stores that specialize in games, whenever I buy games. Why would people buy games at Walmart? :p

    I don't buy games at Walmart, but that could be because there are no Walmarts in Sweden. Well, maybe there are, but not in this area.

    The problem is that Walmart constitutes a rather substantial portion of the American market, which is why game publishers are more than willing to conform to their ridiculous adherence to aforementioned ratings.

    Why does Walmart disallow people to be responsible for their own gaming?

    I say we agree.

    But for the record, I can name several games that are going or ahs gone for mature rating, "The witcher" being one, and the Conan MMORPG has as a goal to be Mature rating.

    "Mature" due to violence, sex, or both? Because I know what I want to hear.

    As for Walmart, unless I'm allowed in to shop for guns before the attack, I might have to bow out.

    both, and gore to.

    "The witcher" I know you can have sex in, and you will recieve pictures of the ladies on wich they are nude or halfnude, on the conan thing I don't know very much.

    Conan is mostly gore. The combat mechanics in it are kinda dumb, though.
    Say you're literally raping a crowd of men with your massive ax. You have a nice combo going, when suddenly, as SINGLE ATTACK from one man, half your size (in musculature anyway...height wise he's maybe 4 or 5 inches shorter than you) knocks you back and completely pauses your combo, leaving you open to further attack. This can happen until one of their attacks sends you off a cliff, or until you die due to gang-violence.

    You don't need a gun! Where do you think we're going to start our anti-walmart siege from? Their gun counter! Because then we're stealing, AND killing employees! Plus, the store's're so big, we can just steal all the supplies we need to torch the fuckin place! ^_^

    Are you sure you are talking about the MMORPG? Because I'm not sure it even has been released yet...
    But the singleplayer "age of Conan", wheras you acutally are Conan in diffrence from the MMORPG, is mostly Gore.
