  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chapstick My feelings on MLG aside (they have their uses, despite their egos), I am saddened at the implied condoning of "Lil Poison" and his gameplay. This is a nine-year-old. He, and anyone else under the age of 17, has no business playing an M-rated game - much less being a member of a "professional" organization. Most tournaments - casual or otherwise - require players to be over the age of 18 to play, nevermind the minimum age required to [i]purchase[/i] this game. I don't get it. MLG, whatver. Underage gamers? This should in no way be condoned, and should in no way be encouraged. By posting images and accounts of playing this game with a -blam!- fourth-grader, Bungie has done both. I wonder if "Lil Poison" played Gears of War (with all its profanity and gore)... So shame be upon you, Bungie, for exalting the poor parenting so prevalent today, and for your implication that it's okay for [b][i]children[/i][/b] to play M-rated games. By this same implication, I suppose Bungie also supports under-aged drinking, under-aged viewing of X-rated material, under-aged smoking, etc. Sure, you say, that's preposterous, but why is it that the Halo series is rated "M" in the first place? Could Bungie not have removed and/or altered content to achieve an "E", or even a "T" rating? Absolutely. But they didn't. This suggests that they [i]wanted[/i] an "M" rating, or that they at the least didn't want to edit their game to reduce its rating. So, they [b][i]clearly[/i][/b] don't believe in the rating system, and [b][i]clearly[/i][/b] condone under-age gaming with respect to their, and evidently other, "M" rated games. Thanks. -- Stan[/quote] I am friends with Lil Poison and his dad Victor and Sic Vic has raised his son up nicely. I have seen Lil P grow up from being a little 4 year old boy to where he is now 6 years later and not once have I heard Lil P swear. Do you know the kids who act up and act out what they see in video games are kids whose parents are usually never around to parent them? Lil Poison is always around his parents at all times and they taught him right from wrong. -Fever- (AKA Da Fever, TNA FEVER)
