This is fucking stupid. Censorship needs to die in a fire.

[Horns]

Wow, that's just stupid. I think some of America's censoship laws are stupid, but that's just pathetic.

[Donut]

question: why do they give a shit. do they allow gears of war? do they allow call of duty? do they allow quake or ut? if you answered yes to any of these questions, then Australian censorship is retarded.

can you guys import it or something?

[Cagerrin]

Good job encouraging piracy, Australia.

:ugh:

[Dark_Neon]

Wow, Censorship in Australia fucking fails... and I live there :gonk:

[paladin]

[Dwood]

:ugh:

It's Steam, Piracy wouldn't work. :P

[Ganon]

They can still buy it from steam or order online right? Regardless, if I was Australian Id be outside with torches and pitchforks.

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

Ohey, I wonder what would happen if someone where to use a proxy, or get someone from the US to buy it for them on that account

[Sever]

What, you all think this is a bad thing?

1: Better connections for the whole rest of the world. How many times have you lagged out when gaming with someone from Australia or New Zealand?
2: They don't even need zombie survival training, since they're isolated on an island. Their government realized this early on and has thusly prevented needless bandwidth usage and importing costs.
3: Who the hell would even want to game with anyone like Bodie or n00b1n8r?

j/k, we love you all!

[.Wolf™]

Wait so they are preparing us? AWESOME,remind me to get some real gunz..Also thats a bummer:/

[Con]

Can they still get it on steam?

[ultama121]

Probably not. :smith:

There's going to have to be ways around it though.

[n00b1n8R]

Australia has always had stupid censorship on games, Fo3 got rejected till they renamed morphine because it made you think that taking drugs helped you gain health!!

Also fuck you Sever~~~

[Bodzilla]

wow bod thats kind of a blanket statement assuming all conservatives are all uptight about shit like this.
unless youre referring to conservatives in australia. im not sure what the government is like there

E: i understand why youre upset but all youre going to do saying stuff like that is piss people off

[Phobias]

He hit the nail on the head in Australia.

[Bodzilla]

no seriously conservatives need to be shot.
theres ignorance and stupidity on all sides of the political divide but when it comes to the vast majority of overwhelming ignorant close minded idiots all you have to do is look at a few issues, health care, censorship, politics and you see conservatives are the worst offenders by fucking miles.

these cunts have been a dead weight to our scientific and social progression since the dawn of time, badmouthing the very things that have benefited them and our society.
we could be so much more, and i'm fucking over it.

[Donut]

well as i said, i dont know anything about australian government... well now i do

[Bodzilla]

in 1962 a man stood up on stage and said it should be our goal that by the end of the decade we have a man on the moon, and we did it. that was progress, we furthered our understanding and increased our net knowledge of the universe, everything which can or will be beneficial for us.

and since then what have we had?
we've had things such as the hydrogen car known for decades with water as the only vapour produced, sitting out of sight and out of mind. We've allowed cockheads to continue making the same products because people are afraid of something just a little bit different, just a little harder for them to understand. and when it's blown up and things have crashed and burned because of our inability or reluctance to progress as a civilisation WE BAIL THEM OUT, we help the very people that penetrate these problems!
what about things such as geothermal energy which trump coal burning in every way, nuclear energy ect...

We could be so much fucking more if people would just allow it, if people just researched it, if people just knew what they where attempting to discredit.

we could of already had someone on mars.
this is and was supposed to be the most exciting century that we've lived in with progress continuing to exponentially increase with our scientific knowledge, understanding and education.
but looks whats fucking happened. i swear to god if we arnt moving forwards where moving backwards and denieing the next generation to live in a better world.
we stand on the shoulders of giants, why cant we be the next shoulder, why do we have to plateau.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

TL: DR
i dont like the world.

[Mass]

Lol, in the nineteenth century they thought that cheap pulp-printed "penny dreadful" books would rot the minds of youth and cause them to turn to crime and blasphemy, and then they thought that films and then television programs would cause the very moral fabric of adolescents to unravel, and now they think that wielding a chainsaw in self-defense against non-humans in a video game will dissolve the ethical mortar of the young like sugar in a glass of lemonade?

Give me a break...

Entertainment has always struggled to be as visceral and available as possible, and while it may be a bit sad that we fill our short little lives with this stuff, the mere fact that it is entertainment prevents the kind of ludacris suspension of disbelief and devotion necessary for anything in the vague vicinity of serious repurcussions to really ever surface.

What's their fucking endgame with this shit...

[Ganon]

i swear to god if i could i'd murder 90% of the worlds population

form a dictatorship



i swear to god 90% of the world is just fucked in the head.lol

Gannon Protip:
not all dictatorships have to be bad.
sincerely zilla.


may i remind you people that it took lez paul YEARS before people would accept his solid body electric guitar idea.......
since then the guitars been alright...

PROGRESS

[Jean-Luc]

People in power will always seek to control and push their moral values on others.

End of fucking debate.

[rossmum]

that's uncensored by the way

get owned, germany

[n00b1n8R]

Why did EA lodge the application when the game was made, produced and published by Valve?
(am I missing something here?)

[rossmum]

EA distributes L4D on disc or some shit, I dunno

[legionaire45]

I thought that it was edited :< (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/08/left-4-dead-2-twofer-edited-version-approved-for-australia/)

[rossmum]

I heard it was uncensored. In any case, there was some confusion over it as some version number or something was the same so I dunno.

Either way, the OFLC seemed chill with decapitations and limb amputations in L4D so I don't see why the hell they'd remove them this time - actually wait, sorry. I do. The OFLC are completely inconsistent and doubly incompetent. :ugh:
