Buying 18 rated games for the under aged.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Ho hum.

I just bought Backyard Wrestling for someone who was roughly 15 or 16.

he approached me and asked if i'd buy it for him. Fair enough, he wasn't 9 years old or anything..

Thing is, the guy behind the counter ( in Gamestation ) sussed me, and had a mad one!

quoting various things such as £5000 fines and 2 years in Jail.

Still, he sold me the game, I called him a twat and gave the kid his game.

I am a bad man. ( for wasting the kids money such a shit game )

whats your take on this?

[The Liberal Elite]

It says 18 for a reason.

[Alex W.]

You're a twat.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

You're a twat.

Thanks my love

Would you buy beer for 15 year old, too?

[Sng]

Buying 18 certificate games for them one day, cigarettes the next, alcohol the next.

You'll be a dope-fiend in no time.

Depends how pretty she is.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Not really.

oh, I hope he doesn't go home and starts fighting his mates in the backyard after playing the game

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Don't do drugs.

I'd settle for chuppa chups.

[Sng]

I take more offense from you calling someone who's just doing their job, a "twat".

Terrible. Downwards from here on.

But is was none of his business. I was buying the game at this point. I was reading a Hyper Street Fighter advert while he was warbling oin. and on. and on.

Didn't read that bit - you called him a twat? Why the fuck did you do that?

He knew EXACTLY why you were buying the game, you knew it too, yet you still did it?

[Sng]

Fiiiiiiiiiight!

Seriously though, I don't really care. I just like to try and make it look like I have some morales in me sometimes.

I'd have at least looked to get some profit off the guy you bought the game for though?!

For quoting shit about going to Jail.

I will be on Crimewatch next month for sure!

Couldnt you not have bought it for him, and just done the right thing and told him how shite it is, and then bought him gta3 instead.

Exactly!

C'mon guys, the kid was bigger than me!

[The Liberal Elite]

Nah, it'll be in the daily mail.

"Kids able to get hands on SICK VIOLENT game - we show you how"

[Aardvark]

But is was none of his business.

Actually he is liable under the law if he suspects you are buying it for somebody under age, so it is his business.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

They will hand the security tape to the authorities. I know it

How long does it take to grow a beard?

[The Liberal Elite]

Why did you bother asking us what we think if you already *know* you're right?

[robotattack]

I hope they lock you up and throw away the key.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Why did you bother asking us what we think if you already *know* you're right?

I asked to see what people think.

You are gamers for fucks sake.

When did gamers care about age ratings?

we should help our fellow brothers and sisters! ( as long as they are over 14 )

[squirtle]

Exactly!

C'mon guys, the kid was bigger than me!

Everyone's bigger than you Goaty.

But still, for shame on you for this.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I think some of you are over reacting though.

How bad is Backyard Wrestling anyway? it's nothing like real life!

[Alexlotl]

Personally, I'm all for age ratings on games. I don't see why such a hoo-hah is made about it.

An eight year old shouldn't be watching Kill Bill or playing Manhunt.

Cloney, Twat

[Hello Goaty ♥]

Manhunt

You see..

if the kid was about to buy manhunt or Vice City I wouldn't have bothered.

but Backyard Bloody Wrestling?

[The Liberal Elite]

The BBFC gave it an 18 certificate for some reason...

[HoneyMonster]

*shakes head at the child-like brain of the thread's 'hero'*

[PaB]

Pfft age ratings - Scrap em all.

[Hello Goaty ♥]

I am like a child compared to you lot

stuffy old farts!

I bet you were the same when you were 15
