The ESA are morons
The ESA are going after Kotaku because they linked to a T-shirt that says "Your Mom: Rated E for Everyone"
I don't think that T-Shirt is all that funny, but I'm going to buy one now, just because the ESA are stupid.
I've said this before. The ESA needs to go. They're as useless as bosoms on a bull.
The only way politicians, the media, and parents will understand
ratings is if there is a universal rating across all media - film,
television, music and movies.
The ESA and ESRB should be merged with the MPAA and to form the
USRB (United States Rating Board), pool their money and resources and
get on with the job of educating people about the ratings, and not
paying morons to type up moronic letters to games blogs threatening
legal action.
Kotaku have supported the ESA through many things, challenged the
likes of Jack Thompson and NIMF, and then using the same tactics that
it's opponents use against it's own allies - on top of something Kotaku
isn't even responsible for - shows just how pathetic this organisation
is.
And interestingly enough, the shirt no longer exists on that website:

Now reads:
You have reached the end of the internet.
Whatever you were expecting to see, it's not here.
Maybe it was moved, maybe it was deleted, maybe it never existed. It's probably my fault though.
My Bad.
So it looks like it's up to me to start producing and selling these myself!
Cease and Desist this ESA *grabs crotch*
EDIT: ahhh, good ol' T-shirt Hell have them...
I can't wait to see how they respond to a letter from the ESA!

Digg this9Dragons Closed Beta
9Dragons is the martial arts MMO from Akklaim.
It's in closed beta at the moment, and I've been asked to participate!
Unfortunately that's about all I'm allowed to share, but as soon as I'm allowed to I'll share my thoughts with the world!

Game Collection
Oh how I wish there was a way to import your games collection from a text document!
I have a lot more games now!
If there is some way of importing my list, can someone drop me a comment or message letting me know?

Another day, another blog!
How long have we been able to post blogs here?
I've tried in the past and had some guff about needing to register or some rubbish...
Anyway, I've also got a games related blog over at IGN too...
I'll probably double up a lot of posts, but I gotta say this blog interface here is much more comfortable for me...
