There is another story that a young boy gets hunted by a moose and when he got remind that in some level in world of warcraft he can drop dead and the beast will leav him alone.... well thats just common sense but that saved him. one of the better episode.

It's not illegal for an underaged person to be playing an M game, its only illegal to sell one to a minor, so if the parents claim they know what they were playing, it doesn't matter.
But you know that people who protest M rated games are going to find a reason to complain that GTA4 was even related to a close to deadly accident. So even if say someone learned how to give CPR to someone by playing a GTA game or any M rated game they will still say well (insert negative issue in game) and it will always happen.

Hard news rocks my face off, E3's biggest mistake was making it a private party. It will surely take it's place as America's #1 gaming trade show again if it goes back to the public.

because it's easy to have fun with at any age.
hoes and kills are not something a child at the age of 8 cannot understand.
i mean if they are told what they are.
kids play, it's fun, back to life, go prepare the table for dinner.

until you get the irresponsible parents "Sorry, don't care how your life is going, I'm to busy in my own world. Just go play your violent games and pent up anger from what happens in your life while I completely ignore you so I can live mine." If parents would at least be somewhat involved in their childrens lives we would have a lot less issues, if you look at the kids who have done the school shootings it's blatantly obvious in 99% of scenarios that the parent's obviously weren't paying a bit of attention to their childrens lives. But why am I stating something that all of us on this web site already know.

Destin was trying so hard not to laugh at his last joke when he was ending it. Lol. Great Hard News, and I really couldnt even care about FF, I hate slow RPGs.
His usual hard-boiled face couldn't save the day with that last joke, lol. And on a side note: I think square enix is losing its edge, churning out these rpgs that are not final fantasy. They should try harder to develope, rather than blowing stacks (I know they can do better than their latest stuff avaliable).
You need a haircut...BADLY!!! It's growing over your ears.
Also, the best thing about this episode was that very short moment they showed the Dodo flying around in GTAIII, I've never seen someone actually get that thing in the city.

I'm not that hardcore of a final fantasy gamer, but i believe final fantasy will have a last chapter if 3 things happen.
1. games die (which will never happen)
2. if technology becomes so high tech that they will release a final fantasy game that,not only it will combined the best aspect of every final fantasy game and turn it into a 100hour game (plus the MMO style of FFXI which would make it more awesome and make people play it longer) but if they release it in a pack that you could play every final fantasy game on it, and it will be so popular that ,even 100 years after its release it still will sell 10,000,000 copies all over the universe every month (if we find alians and they don't kill us) and they keep updating it.
3. or every one dies.

I personally don't like MMORPGs.
I am a big fan of FF and gave FFXI a try but thought it was meh.
If they'll only make FFXI style games in the future that would make me stop playing the games, actually.
I can say one good thing about FFXI, though... the music was awesome and it wasn't even written by the maestro Nobuo Uematsu. (well, except for the main theme song)

Final Fantasy 11 was terrible, it had little to do with FF beyond the whole crystal thing. There was little to no direction and most people had to use the FF11 wiki while using an illegal windower program so they could easily tab between it and the game. I'll be discussing this in part 3 of my series.

I'm sorry my friend but you are flat-out wrong.
The only poor aspect to FFXI is the extreme grinding, which can only be done while in a 6 member party.
Other than that FFXI is an exelent game and the best MMO i have played so far. If has Final fantasy races like humans and moogles (sorry if misspelled) and it offers unlimited content. (Had to know about it since I played it for 3 years and didnt saw it all, reason for leaving: My dad refused to keep paying XD.
It has internal conflit Wars, Great story, Players can do missions and develop their own story with cut scenes and all.
FFXI has everything an MMO needs and more.
*Tons of equipment.
*Multiple transport system.
*Great pvp, other than the fact you cant PK people unless its a given time, and you have to be at lest lvl 30 for the weakest level of pvp... unless u try special pvp with no level limits.
*War pvp, The ballista style fills like War + basketbal
*AI Monsters, monsters can form partys and beheve in an inteligent maner, Agrecive by sight, Smell, touch, spell cast, you name it. the monsters have an extencive range of custom to them.
*about 21 jobs (if not more) everyone of then Equaly valanced on what they are supouse to do. DD,Tank,Suport,Puller,MDD
*Great bosses
*Crafting, you can craft anything in the game with the right materials and you can become a Craftman to earn cash. about 500,000 recepys and im not jocking.

*Beast Riding / and beast Raising (you can raise a baby chocobo into an adult )
*Races

*Anty Hacker system.
*Good GM team. you wont see then playing but they are there... waching...
*no Stat or skill point maneging. The equipment makes the diference, this way u wont FK up your stats or skills.
*Hausing, every character has a hause to decorate, change jobs, manage system setup, and grow plants
*Multiple jobs in a single Char. one can level a main job to level 18 or whatever level and decide to try something alse, they can go to their Mogle Hause and change jobs instantaniusly. The progress to your other job is saved.
*Sub Jobs ~ out of the 21+ jobs you are allow to use 2 jobs at once, one is your main job, the other your sub job, Sub jobs will only be Half the level of your main job, as long as the sub job level is enough.
*epic boss fight.
*about 100+ skills per job.
*weapon skills and Combos with other party members.
*Events every mouth or so. BIG events.
*party system. you are bound to get up to 6 members in a party and if you want to level up you will need that many the right people with the right jobs at the right place. for bosses more than one party is nesesary Aliance system can hold up to 3 partys in one team.
*Expecial skills, Evey 2 hours one is allow to realice job's signature muve (every job has diferent skills, but this ones are super powerful)

Well, I must take off my hat for all the FFXI info that you mentioned but I still think that game is meh.
I do not like MMORPGs so that is the main reason why I don't liked the game that much but I guess that in the world of MMORPGs that probably is the one I like best.
Anyway, I respect any opinion about any game and I reckon Kazekawa also does.

Roughly, i think someone took out a mugger by himself, and he thank it to that PC game, American Army, again this news is rough. so i dunno.
Also, there is probably no FF ending, since most of them has different story.
"So.....your girl saved you from a car accident because she knew it would blow up?"
"Yeah"
"Well, it didn't blow up. So what good did it do?"
"Um....look, let's keep this between me and you, we just needed some press to release some of the tention in our family after what happened. She's never actually played the game."

I don't really know if GTA helped that girl save her parents because don't typically blow up because they flip over.
It seems pretty obvious to me that if someone is trapped in an overturned car that it would be a good idea to help them get out of that would be possible, even to a child.

Okay first a car won't explode because it's upside down. It IS possible for the petrol tank to explode, but only if it has the exact right balance of petrol and air and there's a spark, which is extremely unlikely. That's true whether the car is being shot, flipped, crashed, driven (!) whatever. However it's a well known fact that in entertainment they DO explode because it's more fun. Like how sound travels through space, and how you can get crappy CCTV footage and "enhance" it, real life is boring.
Secondly... whether it will explode or not... do you really need to have played GTA to think to pull your parents out of an upside down car?!?

yeah e3 needs to be completely epic
GTA saves family...
Still moraly depraved.
Kinda expecting to see that somewhere.
but the parents will get sue becus they letting the kid play GTA
There is another story that a young boy gets hunted by a moose and when he got remind that in some level in world of warcraft he can drop dead and the beast will leav him alone.... well thats just common sense but that saved him. one of the better episode.

But you know that people who protest M rated games are going to find a reason to complain that GTA4 was even related to a close to deadly accident.
