Funcoland tards....

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 10:09 pm

So I went in to Funcoland to get Driver 3. Fully chuffed*, I marched in, and asked the chap for a copy of Driver 3.

"Do you have a License or ID?" he asked. "No..." I said, :"Why? I don't want any liquor." "hahaha, No, it's an 18+ rated game, you need ID to purchase it." "But I don't have any!" I said. "Since when did you need ID?" He said it was procedure. "Can your guardian come in?" I was terribly offended and too angry to think straight so I just grabbed back up my money and left.

What the

is going on here? It's not like I'm

dealing drugs.

But before you harp on about the law, those of you lucky enough to live in firework free states

should understand my feelings.

I am going to go down to the Minister of Media's office and...and...and...do something REALLY BAD to him!

*chuffed: Happy, bouncy, cheerful.

Driver 3 got me pissed off, its all about chasing some guy in your car then killing some guys and getting back in your car and chasing more. I have no idea why its Mature there is no freaking blood.

...umm yeah. Sorry if I'm not more sympathetic, but I'm more concerned with the wackos who want to ban violent video games entirely than some guy at the local game store who carded you. Just get some 18+ frienddadfriend's daduncleetc. to buy the game for you. or just download it off the internet

Yeah it's not the law that you be carded for 18+ games
the 18 + is a reccomendation and some stores (wal mart for one) don't sell unless you are of age. it is their store policy

What's even more stupid is people who will buy these games and try to re-enact them and then the game copany get's sued over it. GTA for example. Stupid people.

Guys, I'm serious. Don't joke around like that. Games do influence kids. Period. Why, ever since I played pac-man I have an insatiable urge to munch pellets while running from ghosts

Ever since Super Mario came out, there's been a large influx of kiddies on Shrooms

I agree. Ever since Mario World 2 I've had a strange urge to jump on the back of a large green animal after hatching it from an egg...

generally only themselves, but occasionally you ge the wacko chick running around in circles at full speed in the middle of a crowded room, bumping into people, or the

swinging glowsticks around on a string, but that generally doesn't hurt too much.

There is a time and place for everything, being incompassitated while on the job is dangerous regardless of the method used. (Illegal drug, prescription drug, not getting enough sleep or intake necessary to function properly)
