@zegota: 17? Pfft. According to the new health care bill a "child" is defined as a person up to and including age 26. :)

@battra92: Five? Try nine. But the only reason they are hearing this case is because of the other nitwits Californians have elected to their state legislture every election cycle. If people stopped electing politicians who want to impose their version of morality on the rest of us the Supreme Court would *never* hear…

@Ryan N. Rosa: If you allow the government to impose something against you, then there's no telling how far they will take it. Social Security exists in this country to provide a safety net come retirement. The government forces you to save. Should the government force you to buy groceries? Force you to get 8 hours of…

@WilFTW: It's not illegal for kids to see R rated films.

@Langlen: First off, you're right. Certain games shouldn't be sold to minors. But that's for parents to decide, and the industry to support and enforce. Self-regulation is admirable, honorable, and worthy of praise. Government imposed tyranny in the name of morality is still tyranny and is worthy of condemnation.

@zoompooky: So dressing like gangster rappers isn't interactive? Reading a book and using your imagination to create images of what the scenes and people look like isn't interactive? Watching the movie "Avatar" and then lamenting on websites that you'll never see a world as beautiful as Pandora because humans are…

@slim934: They are elected. They are chosen by whom you elect to be President and the Senator. Not too mention the rulings are based on legislation passed into law by those you elect at your local level (in this case California's state legislature). There is nothing "wrong" with the Constitution. There is something…

How is Freespace 2? Any good?

People who don't like Rush never listen to anything he says within context — as in actually listening to his show. Right on El Rushbo. Right on right on right on right on.

Now how about a full on Deadlands expansion pack for Red Dead Redemption? That would be absolutely awesome!

This is absolutely tragic. Pure evil. Even the high level reporting of the case makes me physically ill. My condolences to the family and the community.

Well this is doomed to fail. The MMO market is near saturation at this point. And I don't really think many people care that much about Van Helsing.

@hurricanedj: I thought the combat and action in GA was decent and fun. I thought the depth of the game was anemic at best. I wish GA was designed as a singler player campaign experience with multiplayer online support. Screw the whole MMO thing.

@someone_else: That's not my take. Play in leagues with friends (we've got about 10 going on at any time) and it's just as much fun when you throw Vent into the mix. As for painting and converting minis, well most of the people I used to play the board game (who I now play the electronic version with) never painted…

@tonyp21: It's awesome if you look at it as being a board game. It's no different than the board game — rules, mechanics, and pacing are exactly the same.

@AlKusanagi: Vampires were Star Players of the Undead team. But over the years they got split yadda yadda.

What about Xbox 360?

@Archaotic: Just wait. In the future we'll buy games with the main character cut out and sold as DLC.
