Great Australian Firewall to censor online games

@kevin

the problem is from this report i dont beleive it is just going to be lets beat the crap out of women thats going to be banned !

and anyway more to the point everybody is making

is it not my decision if i want to play letsbeat the crap out of women game

tbh depending on how the game is made it may even be humorous. what about the the game for fighting gods e.g. you could pitch jesus VS buddah etc etc

That would get banned for being so controversial but hey i laughed my bollocks off and im christian.

but then again not everybody would find it funny some people found it offensive and tried to get it banned !!!

make your own mind up unless you would like somebody else to tell you if its offensive. and will you believe them and trust them ?? (whilst they build moats for a 100k)

O2 Joggler family organiser

rather unusually, it is completely devoid of controls, buttons or logos.

so in the first picture that o2 logo is a sticker the reviewer put there ??

didnt bother reading the rest of the article, comments were helpfull though e.g. waste of time and money

@XWiz

well hangon you have bought a legitimate copy Then download and play it then !

you dont buy the disk you buy the key to play the game.

The money has already left your account and gone into their coffers therefore you now own the right to play the game !!!

e.g.

I insure my car i dont have to wait for the paperwork to turn up. I am insured from the moment my insurance is paid for (or even when i finish the call)

Did the same with COD4 mate mailed me the key cause i couldnt wait so downloaded it but i have a legit key and i own the right to play the game legally. now i have the disc

its just a matter of software distribution.

go RS and have fun

no AC because i feel rightous !!!
