Wii U

Nintendo Direct tomorrow!

...We're gonna get played aren't we.

For Those who Seek the Thrill of Death: A Dramatic SMT3 Hard Playthrough

Maybe not. Some very real things are announced on April Fool's Day. Perhaps even both a prank and a real Direct.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I can only imagine the Direct tomorrow just being a 45-minute loop of "Never Gonna Give You Up."

There'll be a bonus if you manage to sit through all of those 45 minutes as well: Sakurai will appear on the screen and say that Mewtwo was all a lie, followed by, "Nah, I'm only kidding."

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.

Ooh, information being brought *raises hands in front of face, a foot apart and facing each other* "directly" to us.

I suck at timezomes. 3 PM PT means noon for EST, right?

Nope, other way. 6 PM EST.

Use this.

"We're all paper, we're all scissors, we're all fightin' with our mirrors, scared we'll never find somebody to love."

From my own peronsal experience here's four possibilities:

1) The Parent bought it without researching or didn't care. ^note My dad bought me GTA Vice City and my mom was pissed when she found out about it.

2) The kid bought it from a cashier who didn't care. ^note At my old part time job at Target, my co-worked allowed me to buy Resident Evil 4 without carding me.

3) The kid got someone else like an older sibling to get it for them. ^note Gave my older sister the money to buy God of War.

4) The kid borrowed it from a friend who did 1-3.

And possibly any combination of the four.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

Uh, isn't it illegal to sell content like that (M-rated games, R and up movies, etc.) to minors?

Ha ha, I get it! Played! Because video games!!

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Never underestimate humanity's ability to misunderstand, ignore, or not care about the consequences.

I have a message from another time...

But we're not video games. We're people.

R rated movies they don't care but M rated games they usually have to get carded.

I was 16 when Vice City came out I went to purchase it they asked for my birth date and they said we can't sell you it my dad said he doesn't care if I play it he was actually going to play it himself. They made me give the money to my dad just so I could get Vice City.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

Well, that just seems stupid and pedantic if they were gonna sell it to you anyway.

That is what we thought as well.

Usually if you try to purchase an M rated game and don't have your ID they still need somebody that has an ID say it is okay for you to play an M rated game.

When my parents bought me Mortal Kombat 3, they knew what they bought (blood and gore), and they knew I was smart enough to know the difference between actual violence and video games. What they didn't know was that the game was fucking hard to run. You'd basically have to restart Windows in MS-DOS mode (it was during the Windows 98 era, thank god it wasn't Windows 95 anymore, that was a piece of shit in hindsight). Needless to say, I didn't even play that game that much.

The point I'm making is, there are various reasons people buy an M-rated game for their kids.

Signatures are for lamers.

Mortal Kombat was on PC?

I agree.

I wouldn't let a kid play games like GTA, but it all depends on the kids maturity level.

Is this a Jo Jo reference?

Yeah, there are some. I can remember my parents buying me The Orange Box, which includes a few 15s, before I was old enough for pretty much the same reasons. Of course, the parents who actually look at a game's content and consider their children mature enough are not the ones who complain about said content, so that's kind of a moot point.

Kind of excited for the direct, but it's damn 11PM over here. I'll probably watch it anyway but still, damn you timezones!

Yikes, you have to watch it in the middle of the night?

It all seems weird to me as my parents were anal about me not playing M-rated games until I was 13 (around the time of Halo: Reach, Red Dead Redemption, and Call of Duty Black Ops). Even then, my first M-rated game was Halo 3, which I rented from Game Fly.

Funny thing: I was allowed to play MK vs. DC Universe as it was rated T.

What does 3PM PDT mean for people who have a Central Timezone?

You know, I have to wonder why Pit is obsessed with this site. It’s gonna ruin his life!

Derp, right, it's 6 PM EST.

Darnit, I have my night class then...

...Think the professor will notice if I bring headphones with me...?

5 pm.

Depends if they're earbuds or not...or if you're making it obvious to him that you're not paying attention.

You're class is one of those classes that doesn't like headphone use? That describes my US History class very well.

I have a class tomorrow from 5-6:20 P.M, so I'll probably be absent in the lesson for the last quarter if I decide to stream the Direct when it begins.

I have to work early enough (like about 6 am my time) and I need to go to my niece's softball games (which start at about 6:30), so I have plenty of time.
