Yeah, I got a chuckle out of this controversy.  As the JV co-owner said kids will make drinking games.  Or just, you know, drink the stuff.  I doubt not having access to a game on the Wii will somehow deter Beer Pong.

I liked the time article. They not only talked about the video game, but also the whole controversy behind real world beer pong and college binge drinking. A nice well balanced peice.

Maybe if our "moral society" didn't make things such as drinking alcohol, sex, smoking, drugs, ect such a taboo maybe, just maybe we wouldn't have a "binge drinking epidemic" or however they want to call it. Same goes with the other things, if it weren't for how poorly our society handles these things perhaps if the taboo was reduced or eliminated it would and made less of a "big deal" teenagers and college students wouldn't be such idiots in how they handle alcohol.

Did I miss something somewhere?

 

These ARE adults over 18 engaged in drinking and gaming, right? I didn't misread that?

 

Where's the controversy? Either you've got a kid drinking which is a bigger problem than some video game, or you've got a college kid drinking and playing video games, and you should keep your nose out of their business because they're adults and thus personally responsible for their actions.

Has anyone even asked if there is even a market for such an obvious FAIL game like this?

I mean, if you factor in the cost of the console and the game versus buying a set of pingpong balls and MORE beer....

I'm getting the feeling that it's becoming more and more like when the everyone focused on the controversy regarding Manhunt 2 and yet failed to ask themselves if it was a good game to begin with.

"Released this week with a Teen rating, "

Actually, it's rated E for Everyone now. I first saw that on the trailer on the Wii's Nintendo Channel, and I double checked it on the Wii Shop channel just now.

As long as students have access to alcohol, they will create drinking games out of any activity

reminds me of a drinking game Peter Griffin played: Hit your hand with a hammer. If it hurts, take a drink.

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area.  If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?

But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself.  Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.  Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story.  Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age.  The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself.  Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head.  Not gonna happen.  Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.

The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status).  In  a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent.  The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me.  Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time.  It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?

I play beer pong almost every weekend and i dont have a drinking problem just a member of a beer of the month club we love beer and playing games. Video games board games drinking games. We all have jobs work and dont do dumb things when drunk.
