Actually, Australia is probably one of the best English-speaking first-world countries to immigrate to. Assuming you can put up with the accent, of course.

Sure, unless you like vidya games. Then you have to deal with the oppressive censorship laws being stunlocked by ONE DOUCHEBAG. LITERALLY ONE DUDE.

Not any more, as far as I'm aware.
Those laws got thrown out quite a while ago, which in my opinion is mainly a good thing because it puts an R rating on games that deserve it which would have been released anyway. I think I've only played two R-rated games since the new laws came in, actually.
Or maybe three, if you count playing another one briefly at a friend's place.

Remember, while magma vents and levers that causes the structure to implode work in DF, in RL it's the fastest way to get sued for negligence

Wasn't there pictures of crying koalas instead of actual content in the South Park game? I don't think the censorship issue has been fully abated.

Yep we are still heavily censored also the r rating was both a good and bad thing it let's some games that wouldn't get through before get through now but many games that would have been ma now get r

That's a good thing, though. Those games are generally very, very deserving of their R rating, and not the sort of thing wee little babbies should really be playing. At least the R ratings I've seen on shelves, anyway.

Huh, I hadn't heard of that. I could easily be wrong, I haven't really followed gaming news in ages.

Not being an Aussie, the only instance of Australian censorship I've ever encountered involved a translation by a group of Aussies who, in their infinite wisdom, replaced a questionable scene with pictures of dolphins.

Freakin' dolphins

Only the dolphins know when the world will end.

Crying koalas overlaid with graphic textual descriptions of the censored cutscene.

He probably means like censoring re: witness protection?

It's a bit odd how easy it is to weird people out by being willing to handle bodily organs. With a knife and your bare hands, although I have no idea if this is helping it OOC.

[Alev]

Eh. Are you a serial killer?
