    Putting aside the games with violence in them, such as GTA, I see plenty of people flat out call video games something "for kids". I never said that the targeted age group wasn't kids but that just means it is targeted for them. Toy Story is targeted for kids but there are plenty of jokes in it that are for the adults watching too.

    And GTA may have a targeted age range of 17+ but I see plenty of 8-16 year olds playing too. Targeted and socially acceptable are very different concepts. It is socially acceptable for a 15 year old to murder aliens in Halo and snap someone's neck in Manhunt 2 but god forbid a 25 year old watch MLP.

    Hit the nail on the head and drove it in with one swing of hammer.

    That's the way it always is, even kids prefer to watch/play stuff that's for an older age group, which is most likely why there are so few games specifically for kids, and why Nintendo was hurt by the perception of it being "kiddy" even though Mario and Zelda games aren't really specifically for kids...

    Dude its been like a decade since you could say "videogames" and "for kids" in the same sentence without sounding like an old fart

    Seriously, now even mainstream media shows adults playing games, not barbie ride or some shit, but actual games not meant for minors (even if the irresponsible parents let the little fuckers beat hookers in GTA, which is no different from irresponsible parents who didnt care if their kids got their hands on a gory VHS or a playboy like 30 years ago)

    Lets cut the crap, this isn't even a show for kids, its for girls, little girls, 3 to 12 tops

    After that age most girls have to deal with non-PG problems like "do I suck this jock off or remain unpopular?" and "I'm fat I have to purge until my teeth fall off"

    No way MLP is going to touch that, even if some bronies are "clopping" at the thought of cannon blowjobs

    I find it pretty cool, I would enter the Major League of Poker if I had the balls and money. Oh wait--

    MLP: Internet Virus (not saying that everyone that likes it is an idiot, I meant that the retarded portion of the fanbase keeps pushing pony stuff to everyone, everywere...)

    Post info about systems that can help people?

    Reviews?

    Articles?

    No, let's jerk off in a never ending circle.

    I fully expect this thread to be active until the sun burns out.

    My thoughts exactly, ASSEMbler. I'm sick of seeing these long, drawn-out arguments about stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with videogames.

    That's probably why it's in the off-topic section. Y'know, for things completely unrelated to video games.

    LOL That made me laugh more than the back and forth going on in this thread. But getting back on topic for something off topic that went far off topic... I don't get it either. Unless we're surrounded by like minded people, everyone else is weird. :shrug: That's just how it is.

    It's more the ridiculousness of the argument than the fact that it's not videogame related. That, and the fact that this stupid thread is getting more attention than a lot of the on-topic threads.

    This thread is still better than people being whiny little sand-vaginas in the Geist Force forum.
