 Quote From: radin113 Im posting for the parents who think there teens/kids are obsessed/spending to much time/money on video games etc. This is my view..I am 15 by the way.
Amount of time: I play video games about 2 hours a day at the most I dont have alot of time now because of school and other things. Play in moderation if your spending all your money and time on it..thats wrong and you need to get help I understand that but you made it sound like video games are bad.
Content:I did not watch the whole show but I thought I would say something about my views on most things in gameing..well the content first of all. Lets talk about Halo 3,Call of duty 4 and gears of war. Halo 3 is not really bad there is hardly any blood and language. Call of duty 4..there are blood splaters on the wall when you shoot an enemy in the head and there is language. And gears of war has the most blood language and guts out of those..I think if your mature enough for it go ahead and play it. But the online language and racial slurs..hey parents..guess what these games are RATED M FOR MATURE FOR MATURE AUDENICES. The media targets games like these and talks about the twelve year olds and kids below that age curseing and all that crap. ITS THERE PARENTS RESONSIBLITY to decide what there kids can play those games or not. Thats pretty much all I have to say about this..if you want to depbate on this with me my email is Truman_whitaker@live.com if you do please be mature in your email. I'm not sure about WoW or EQPC, but EQOA's terms of agreement clearly states that a player must be 18 years old or has parental/legal guardian permission I will additionally add that Game Masters like Felthius has stated; parents/legal guardians are supposed to allow their child/children complete access to their accounts. Would this not be contributing to the deleguency of a minor? I would think so, and it might be a good idea to either forego this ability by not allowing minors full access to their account as well as double check California's state laws regarding deliquency to a minor. Cursing, Racial Slurs, Sexual Harassment, Training, Kill Stealing, Ninja Looting, AFK XPing, and Pet Pling are all suspendable and/or Banable offenses by SOE's terms of conduct.
I'm not sure how PC games operate as the only game that I play on PC is Civilization, and I don't play multiplayer. I have played Everquest Online Adventures, and my other online compatible games are Halo 2, had Socom (I would be Seanfo on that one), and Madden 06. My suggestion to parents of players who are minors. You really should double check California's State laws regarding Deliquency of a minors as well as other laws. You should also make sure that you have control of their accounts. Bare in mind at least by PS2's EQOA, you might run into legal repurcussions; hence, why you should additionally check into California's laws. My advice to wives and girlfriends of gamer others. Never under any circumstances present an addict with an affait accompli/ultimatum. You're only going to add one more reason to log in. It's much easier to expand game careers than real life ones. It's already an escape if you're thinking of it. You should try role playing to get their attention. To addicted gamers, you're griefing your family and other commitments. If time was a mob, it'd be a raid mob, and you've repeatedly declined your group invite. This translates into Kill Stealing. By Terms of conduct, you are also causing Zone Disruption. Do you wish to be a griefer or do you want to be a outstanding community asset? It's your call. |
