no im not aged 12-16, im just 15

i'm 16..

Hmm.. that seems to be the average age of mappers these days.

that at least gives an indication of just how much violence you can get away with in your maps

ohnoes, there's alot of 13yr olds here. (me?) - Anyway, some of them are turning 14 nowadays.

doesnt anyone on this site except me like an anime?

Naruto BTW. its not like most animes, its f***in hilarious.

yes tons of 13 year old here (me?)
alot of people said they like anime moron

ffs, no wonder the current state of the halflife community is so poor. Theres far too many young people on the internet these days and of those they should NOT be playing a game that still carries an 18 certificate. I'd like to have a word with your parents that pay for your net connection and would've had to buy the game for you in the first place.

Plus I think most people are confusing anime with the americanised versions of shows like Pokemon and other childish nonsense. While in Japan most anime is aimed at the collegiate ages (15+), if I had children I would most certainly not let them watch it. Far too twisted and bizzare, same as the internet really. I didn't get onto the net until I was 13 and didn't begin online gaming until I was at least 16.

I know maturity varies with different people but I believe the internet is too global and unrestricted to be able to handle the younger generation and shield them from its darker areas.

no actually, i'm not, seein as Naruto is only on kazaa and is subtitled, so i dont think it's that americanised yet.

altho i agree there is way too much "anime" out there. at least with naruto it was a manga first.

Zombie, I can't admit it...never got that card...anyway, pokemon went stale really quickly, and the japanese went OTT trying to keep it alive. It sucks.

well ok i read my post and i just meant its not just an american imitation.

OK, only insecure insane moronic parents wouldnt let a kid get half life. Only the parents who shield their child and make them turn in to a complete losers... Most people are introduced to the internet around age 8! Now a game like GTA: vice city is a game I play that shouldnt be allowed for kids under 16...

sorry, but there are reasons why games are ated. i think too liberally too be honest, however there's no point if the game stores wont uphoild it.

Game stores DO uphold it, its just the kids who can easily get the game from someone at school! It's so easy to say "Hey can u make me a copy of GTA:VC?". Thats how they get the games! To buy them, they have to show ID. If they are under-age they must be accompanied by an ADULT.

Its much easier to just borrow the game from someone and burn it! Saves time, money and hassles.

not around here i see eight-year-olds getting vice city. amd most eight year olds i know wouldnt know much about burnin a copy.

Not eight year olds! But you know around the 9, 10, 11 year olds. Whats the limit for age? I think its 16 or 18 over here

wow david, you have totally changed my outlook. I now see that parents are STUPID if they dont buy their kids halflife and FORCE them to play the game. I mean OMG the game is like SO OLD dood, which means the rating no longer applies, infact screw ratings lets just buy our kids vice city and be done with it!

I dont give a that kids 9/10/11 have games like vice city, all I care about is that the parents dont actually moderate them and see that they are playing this crap.

Saying parents are being overbearing and MORONIC for restrcting a childs access to adult material is like saying its ok for these american parents you see who let their children eat anything they want so they can go on the next springer show with the title 'omg my child weighs as much as a small dump truck'

A small one?

in my experience, the stores dont uphold it. when i was 8 or something and i wanted to play gta (the original, which was rated 18+) i just put tha game on the counter and that was it.

even doom was rated 18 when it came out, but that was incredibly violent without being realistically gory, which seems to be the key thing. Violence as opposed to gore.

the same can be said about Gta... not realistic in any way but very violent.

Im so desensitized to violence I walked into a shop today to see the owner being bludgeoned to death by a machete-weilding lunatic. I didn't even bat an eyelid and was suprised when he didn't ring up my purchase.

Just goes to show that GTA and DOOM are responsible for all the worlds evils. Yes, ban them all.

Heck lets just ban all forms of media that might influence anyone ever.

I dont think playing games like doom when I was younger affected me much, I believe I am a sa sa sss ss sane minded pppp pp p p pp person. Although I do own a sniper rifle, a desert eagle and an uzi and I liiiii--kkeee to shoot pigeons that PISS ME OFF BY FLAPPING THEIR WINGS ALL THE TIME ARGHH.

Ok Job's...It's all gonna be alright...Your coming with us now...don't worry you'll be ok...we're just gonna give you this jacket...its got long arms so you can, errrr, keep yourself warm...come now into the truck...

They told me the long arms were so I could hug myself and make myself feel better!

Yes that too, come now, anyone who is cold or needs to feel better come and get a jacket...Don't be shy...and ignore this tag I'm stapling to your body...

Just to get back onto the topic (if anyone remembers what the hell it was), how much reality T.V. do you get in your respected regions? My answer for here: TOO MUCH. It's all crap.

Same. I hardly ever watch TV nowadays.

TV in the UK is so bad that frequently channel 5 is the only one worth watching, I never thought that would happen.

it's just "five" now

CH5 is one news report short of a soft-porn channel

Errr, would you like to explain Kol for the benifit of those in other countries?

Channel 5 suxx0rzz. Sky One ROCKS!

you got ** wierd names for tv channels, silly foreingers and jobabob, you shouldnt get any children in first place

Silly names? Look at our free to air ones!

Channel 9
Channel 7
Channel 10
Channel 2 (or ABC)
Channel 28 (or SBS)

How's that for excitement!
