New York State Assembly and Senate Pass Video Game Bills

Yeah, this is just not good. Both the House and Assembly in New York State passed bills to regulate and restrict the video game industry. This is no good.

The proposed advisory council would examine the potential impact of violent media, make recommendations regarding the ESRB rating system, and establish “a parent-teacher violence awareness program to identify and appropriately assist students who may have a propensity toward violence.”

I’m glad I’m living in a state that wants to restrict what I can do in terms of video gaming. I have a feeling that we’re going to see some lawsuits from the big guns in the video game industry about Constitution violations should this bill get signed into approval by the Governor. I can’t say I’ll disagree either. Bullshit. Total bullshit.

  1. sniff sniff, I smell… bull shit! Could this be the evil devil works of Jack Thompson?

  2. The people that's going batshit over video games are the ones that are making it corrupted. There are plenty of other things to target, like the goddamn media, not video games. Douches.

  3. Its good to know where our tax $$$ r being used…useless piece of sh#t.

  4. Nice waste of time and taxpayer dollars.

  5. What exactly is superior a new Playstation 3 slim or perhaps, Xbox 360 system or perhaps a Pc when ever taking part in video games?
