I know it's not a travesty to not have WWE14 on Wii U but still interesting how even they are avoiding the system.

I for one played WWE12 on the Wii. I hated it. When my brother got WWE13 I insisted he'd get it on PS3. I much prefer the PS3 over the Wii due to easier to understand buttons.

I think we all agree that EA blows, but at least they are getting something right...

See that's not really doing something good, it's not a step in the right direction, it's just a step back to normal. It's like an abled guy telling you he doesn't park in handicapped spaces anymore.

How is that example not a commendable improvement? I would welcome the fact that he no longer parks in spaces reserved for the handicapped.

I also tend to think that a step back to normal is very much a step in the right direction, so long as you were not living up to the standard.

Even still I'm happy it's being done. I doubt that they're thinking of the gaming community and it might just be because their current practice wasn't proving as profitable, but at the very least; it's good that it's happening.

Yes of course it's good that it is happening, however they don't deserve any praise for it is my point.

Agreed on that point, definitely.

Not sure how much this relates to the death of gaming per-say, but it's still pretty dumb:

**Dudebro** · 05-19-2013, 09:48 AM

It's funny how you worded that. If this was about MS or Sony you'd know exactly how it relates to the death of gaming.

**Kong** · 05-19-2013, 09:52 AM

That's not even legal.

It's pretty obvious that you're reluctant to be negative about Nintendo. What you posted is bad and if one of the others did it you'd lambasting them. You can deny it if you I don't care, I know it's true.

You are insane.

**KATZ** · 05-19-2013, 07:42 PM

im actually gonna have to agree with steven... what the hell are you talking about ?

**CrispyChicken** · 05-19-2013, 07:44 PM

Ironically, its fanboy wars like this that is contributing to the death of gaming.

**Dudebro** · 05-19-2013, 07:45 PM

Nintendo does something wrong and worse than other stuff he's reported on in here but he's unsure how it relates to the topic. When MS or Sony do anything even remotely bad he acts like the sky is falling. That's what I'm talking about. But now I'm done talking about it. I just pointed it out because I'm tired of people acting like fanboys all the time.

I love how so many people are butthurt over this, as if every other hame company didn't do the same.

Agreed. I thought this was an old trick.

I'm assuming hame = game... or possibly lame... Either way, it's the first I've heared of it, I don't spend a lot of time watching Youtube letsplays so I'm out of the loop.

**Seahawk** · 05-20-2013, 01:47 AM

It was supposed to be 'game'.

To see what I mean, see responses to this tweet, and then multiply it across the vast echo chamber of the internet.

Now We've Heard It All: Minecraft Blamed in School Violence Case

Quote:

The unnamed student had "an unloaded handgun, a magazine with six bullets inside, a steak knife and a small-handled sledge hammer," reports WFTV-TV of Orlando. The firearm came from his father's home.

"The boy's father said he was playing a character he learned from the video game Minecraft," WFTV reports.

"They use hammers to dig and knives and guns to protect themselves from zombies," he said, according to the station.

Oh, boy. I want to say dad is too stupid to live, but at least he removed the firing pin from the gun, making him smarter than your average crappy parent.

Comparing Minecraft to GTA makes the author sound just as dumb.

Minecraft is rated E10+ by the ESRB

What's even the point of ratings anymore, parents don't check them.

**D.B. Cooper** · 09-30-2013, 02:12 PM

Some parents might not check them but I have passwords set up so that my 9 year old isn't downloading any games I don't approve. I check the ratings and description of the game each and every time. IMO this is a case of a few bad apples making all the noise. You only hear about the kids who get games without parental consent but you never hear about the parents who care.
