I finally get a day off. Christmas. Gaming is how I talk to my friends in the States and Canada and New Zealand. We scheduled this. I hope asshats don’t schedule being asshatson Christmas just for the sake of being asshats.

Simply brilliant. Cheers, mate.

I agree the blood smear had a very deliberate point. It’s still blood though. I remember when I was a kid thinking how weird it was when rancor eats a Gammorean in ROTJ but there wasn’t a drop of blood.

Kids liked Quigon Jin though, too, and you actually see the lightsaber penetrate through him when he’s killed (not to mention his killer being cut in half at the waist). Frankly that death scene in episode VII seemed tame if not deliberately edited so you don’t see any actual saber penetration (no pun intended).…

That’s still just America though.

I have never heard of a protest or lawsuit for a movie’s rating. Isn’t that why they call it “Parental Guidance” for under-13?

I’m curious, personally, what made you think this one in particular was that much more? I remember Han being tortured in Episode V, for example. Was there something specific that made you think it was too much for kids under 13?

K, but Star Wars? I dunno. I’m even more curious if they changed the rating on purpose why they would go up to PG-13.

I thought that was actually tame compared to other Star Wars kills.

Still, I think there’s a reason, a clear, predictable, enforceable reason why it was rated PG-13.

I’m listening.

This whole superweapon strategy isn’t working out for the bad guy.

They re-released the original trilogy but they were all PG and included people getting shot, losing limbs, etc. I guess I just don’t see the difference between those and Episode VII. I’m curious more than anything——the only thing I can think of that seemed different is all of them were basically bloodless but Episode…

But they re-released those original-trilogy movies in 2000 and they were still PG. I hear you on 1984 though (Gremlins is still a horror movie if you ask me).

Paid for PG-13? Just for America though? Why bother? I don’t think that makes sense. I don’t even think that’s really how it works at all to be honest.

A PG rating would turn some people off Star Wars? I dunno. That sounds fishy.

I still don’t understand why it was PG-13 though?

Dark Forces!

I don’t understand though, I mean, it’s all totally optional, right? And that optional stuff pays for the content we’d otherwise all have to pay for as DLC? If you don’t have to buy something you don’t want but you get stuff out of it regardless, where’s the rub?
Destiny has always been this kind of liquid-esque game;…

There are actually pretty clear and well-defined rules out there for speed runs (you’ll have to look at speed run-dedicated sites and groups), it’s like an entire dialect of language you wouldn’t recognize much of.
