Oh, gamers! What wacky things won't you say?!

Thanks for the title fix.

Speak for yourself, don't put your secret inner torture and confliction on us.

The state in which Australia's in is fine (well, sort of) already.
There is no need to just censor and ban things that other countries deal with fine.

[Electrocuter]

Nice one Australia.

While you're at it, why not just simply close every australian ISP and completelly shut down the Internet in Australia? That should protect your 15 years old from all the bad and evil stuff like sex.

Oh god, I'm so conflicted. I hate that furry cesspool which burned my eyes but I also hate the Australian government's crusade on videogames...

This.

Time for a coup?

[phill977]

The government probably has the Australian internet cable on their desk, with a pair of scissors right next to it.

[venn177]

Wouldn't be surprised.

Nah, I'd prefer to drive up north then swim to Indonesia.

[Wisebrant]

Wow I hate my government...
But oh well, it is not as if this new 'filtering system' is going to stop me from playing any of the MA 15+ games I enjoy.

[Cloak Raider]

breaking news, no sharp objects are allowed in Australia, as the government can't trust people not to cut themselves.

bubble wrap jackets are currently being posted to every citizen.

[edja007]

I will laugh if this actually passes and they ban steam :D

[Sasoreh]

The worlds going censor crazy...

[JohnnyMo1]

Hahahaha, oh Australia.

I'm so sorry for you, Australian Facepunchers.

Think of this.

The world will lose The Chasers War on Everything.


Fuck you, Kevin Rudd.

What next? Ban Wikipedia because it has an article on sex? Ban Google because you can use it to find porn? Ban YouTube because there's footage of M rated games?

:ughh:

That's very possible given goverments keep people stupid (not showing up on major news networks/papers), and small steps to coax them.

MMO's can't really have a rating as the content is determined but who's playing it. Since it can't be rated, it's banned.

Garrysmod is next.





Really, when you think of it, garrysmod can be dirtier than most games, all depending on the user.

[Jiffysnoof]

Hooray for government intervention!

Sympathy for all those living in Australia.

I like this bit...



I guess they didn't take my easy to follow advice from the last thread...

Ahahah I have a friend in Australia who's hopelessly addicted to SL.

This is gold.

[Teh Soviet]

I'm not Australian, but....

This Kevin Rudd bastard makes me want to pimp slap him to Mars.

[edja007]

Thread title is misleading. It isn't banned yet, title says it is.

[POLOPOZOZO]

If Australia goes through with more shit it's going to hit their economy like a brick without the piece of lemon wrapped around it.

[smurfy]

Vote them out and get some competent fuckers in.

Anyways, I think it's retarded they're doing this, for what good reasons do they have?

[FlowXobDans]

yay

God damned it, I live in NZ so I get a little of whats going on in AUS.

Fuck you, Kevin.

The very mention of something happening to Steam makes my eye twitch in the not-so-sane way.

I've spent about $600 on my account for about 70 games, so forgive me if I actually IRL snap at someone threatening to take it away D:
It'd also be suicide for my flatmates who run an internet cafe, given that pretty much all of their business is through the Steam Cyber Cafe program.

Move to America. We're more business-friendly, AND you can own guns!

Soon they'll ban Habbo because you can talk sexy... This is Great.

[Daniellynet]

HAhahaahahahahahaah. Thats ridiculous.

[3com111]

Hey Aussies. You guys can't just sit back and let this guy do this to you. Protest and strike until he lifts this ban.
It always starts with something small. Then it'll escalate to something much bigger.

[Turrngait]

Hot damn!

[Capone]

This is a brilliant move do you know what smut is in Second Life?
