On us gamers comming to the rescue:
If we are doing their job of protecting the creators and their work from tabloid news outlets and others then we gamers diserve a cut of the paycheck that the ESA gets for slacking off. Hear me? ESA is slacking!
Gamers, as a whole, are probably the most unreliable form of protection. Sure, when we strike, we strike hard but we also can quickly loose focus and start playing that new, shiney game. Also, our collective opinion is almost bipolar. One day we will be lauding over a game company for making a good game and then come back a week later and you get Godwin's Law violations off the charts.
In short, ESA. DO your own freking job becuase the second we are no longer willing to fight your battles for you... You get the idea.

Posted 07/22/08 at 08:37pm GRIZZAM PRIME: Never had a Dreamcast. My first actual console was a Playstation.
Posted 07/22/08 at 05:43pm HarmlessBunny: My Dreamcast still has Soul Calibur in it...that used to be addictive *shivers* Must feed addiction....
Posted 07/22/08 at 05:11pm Austin_Lewis: My dreamcast is hooked up with Shenmue in it, but it hasn't been played in a long while.
Posted 07/22/08 at 04:45pm KayleL: My dreamcast is still hooked up to the TV, but since I was young when I got it, most discs are badly scratched
Posted 07/22/08 at 02:34pm SimonBob: Technically, you still got money for hit-n-runs, same as the modern GTAs. But you didn't have to leave the car to pick it up.
Posted 07/22/08 at 01:07pm GryphonOsiris: Dreamcast, man, now there is a blast from the past.
Posted 07/22/08 at 11:41am gamepolitics: i think the last one of those I played was on the Dreamcast...
Posted 07/22/08 at 11:17am gamepolitics: smiley, it's been so long since I've played those top-down versions. I'll take your word for it
Posted 07/22/08 at 10:26am M. Carusi: So is anyone writing to Governor Paterson about the law? I may be from CT but I'm going to. It's better than nothing.

Posted 07/22/08 at 07:06am gamepolitics: Hey, Lunatic (& everyone else) please don't be soliciting or posting anyone's personal info, incl. e-mail addresses. Thx
Posted 07/22/08 at 06:49am Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : @Smiley: Uhh... I'm gonna assume you don't know about the Comments Section of each article and point it out to you
Posted 07/22/08 at 06:47am Smiley: Nah, just commenting on the article... GTA1 and GTA2 both give you points for killing people so the point isn't entirely right..
Posted 07/22/08 at 06:43am Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : @Smiley: Uhh... Are you talking to me?
Posted 07/22/08 at 06:35am Smiley: Hang on... GP wrote that the GTA series has "no such points" Have you not played GTA1 or GTA2?
Posted 07/22/08 at 05:35am Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : I happen to know it, but if I entered that particular bit of info, I could get banned.
