The PG 13 Discussion

[pakman]

I don't really find it odd at all. Movies are more publicized than video games are. The ESRB ratings are usually on the back of the box or in the lower corner, not really where you can see them, unless you look.

My parents are bothered that I play games, they say I spend too much time with them. I have learned to limit myself to the time I spend playing games, but not talking about them :), I always have time to talk about them :P. Also, I think most parents buy their kids games to keep them from whining, for placation. As longas they're sitting blowing people up on the tv,they're not out eating dirt and lighting G.I. Joes on fire or blowing them up with fireworks.

Maybe the powers that be still think it's all Pac-Man and Galaxian

I don't believe that is true. My parents know the games that I play (DX, HL, CS, Morrowind, etc). They know what they consist of, and they also know that I have control over what I do and how I react to games.
