The charming, delightful, diligent, delicious and delovely Jessica Citizen has been hard at work on Gamepron, a new gaming news Website that you’ve probably seen plugged in my sidebar more than once, these last few weeks.

    I have an interesting observation. If the Australian Classification Board or the Australian Communications and Media Authority tell me that something might offend me… well, they’ve got a 100% miss-rate so far. On the other hand, if I want to be offended, I just have to watch a commercial-break on television or (in a pinch) go out and look at a few billboards. You know, those things that they’ve generally okayed as being acceptable.
You know, whatever it is that they’re actually doing, I’d feel a whole lot better if they just went back to fact-checking and proof-reading.
Due to events that took place in the Watergate’s hotel-office building in the HQ of the Democratic National Committee, we have the scandal that was named, the Watergate scandal. “Second life” (not the trademark) as a term seems to have been circulating for a long time. Ever since the advent of Second Life itself, however, the term has been increasingly prevalent in all the senses that it was used before it was used to refer to Second Life. As you’re probably aware, Australia doesn’t have an 18+ rating for video games (though it does for other types of media such as films and publications). It’s not a stretch to see why. At the time the legislation was applied to video games, such games were the province of the young, and it is only recently that they’ve grown up, right? Wrong. From their inception, video games (particularly computer games) were played by all ages. Oh, I get tired of that. “Results not typical” and “for illustrative purposes only.” Well, the Federal Trade Commission’s handing down new guidelines on advertising and endorsements. “Results not typical” won’t be acceptable anymore. It also affects celebs, bloggers and endorsements of all sorts. One multiply-convicted 19-year-old felon accidentally shoots another multiply convicted 20-year-old felon in the head with an illegal firearm that neither of them should possess. Police say video games may be involved. The headline goes further and suggests that video games may have “prompted” the shooting. If that’s the case, then so should chicken and ground beef, both of which contain roughly the same levels of tryptophan weight-for-weight as turkey does, which isn’t really all that much. In fact, pork and (wait for it) cheese contain significantly more!

In Foggy Bottom in Washington, D.C. is the Watergate complex. A site covering ten acres with a hotel-office building, three apartment blocks and an office block. It was completed in 1971, and is one of the most popular residential spots in the city, having a particular popularity with executive appointees and Congressional members.
