i dont get it, there can be R rated movies, but not R rated games? is this because parents are to lazy to prevent their kids from playing them? its easy to stop your kids from watching R rated movies, why not games?

too many parents don't know how to say NO these days, and all the family first types are just a bunch of looney fuckwits who think that rather than turn something off that they don't like they should endure it and then write an angry letter to a crappy newspaper. i'll bet that there are morons out there who would buy an R rated game for their 10 year old kid because they don't want to say no to them, and then have a big cry to the media about the content of the game once they see the kid playing it. i think the media need to grow a pair and tell these f**kwits to get a life.

just incase that rant didn't really say what side i'm on (since it was pretty all over the place), i'm in favour of an 18+ R classification on games and think that anyone with any common sense should be as well.

Who here has clicked NO when they were under 18? :laugh:

Exactly my point.. Back when dial-up was available.. My mate used a dialler to access a pron site not knowing it charged.. His oldies received a $150 fee on their bill LOL.. He was only on their 30min also..

I must admit to getting scared by the "click here only if you are over 18/21" when I lost my internet porn virginity. But from that moment on, it meant nothing to me. It's a shame that company wasn't Australian as you can purge the charges if it was a minor claiming to have viewed the content. It's even more illegal to charge for something illegal :)

Back when I was looking for internet porn as an adolescent...there were no google images...hardly any search engines...it was basically "guess a domain name".

OT: Find me someone under 18 who has not played a violent video game or seen porn. Not going to happen! Censorship = pointless, and people in favour of it just looooove to draw links between violent video games and serial killers / postal students who happen to them, not the other way around...

I love how the political analysts called it a non-issue, yet the petition numbers surpassed those of the online WorkChoices petition.

Parents just don't understand videogames...

There's more on youtube. Their reactions and things they say are pretty funny. This game is "demonic" and will make people insane.

f**king epic!

Seriously, am I the only one that wants to play Grand Theft Auto with a bit of hard core pornogrpahy in it? Eh? Eh?

It seems as though politicians are starting to become aware of just how STUPID it is to not have R18+ games.

The minister in Adelaide mentioned that "the rest of the world is laughing at us because we are behind in the classification system." he also mentioned that the way it is now is "unsafe for children." And so is pushing for a new reform that decides on a rating based on the MAJORITY of votes by the jurisdictions and not a unanimous one.

http://www.r18games.com.au/2011/03/government-to-introduce-r18-games-despite-opposition/

In the latest instalment in GameSpot AU's opinion column, Laura Parker weighs in on Australian Council on Children and the Media CEO Barbara Biggins' claim that Aussie gamers have been unjustly influencing public opinion with "propaganda".

http://au.gamespot.c...cks%3Btitle%3B3

And a link from the above article leads to this old article,

http://au.gamespot.c...ws/6203703.html

Biggins also points to the fact that we haven't had an R18+ for games in 18 years, and everyone has been fine with that--"
She says, in fact, that the lack of an R18+ rating has only become a problem because gamers can't shut up about it.

She so smart

They cry about how this will harm children. But these children already have access to MA15+ which has them acting out these violent things already.. R18+ just makes it more gore. So wouldn't the more 'fake' look make these impressionable children think that doing this shit in RL isn't so bad?

Victorian AG raises R18+ doubts

http://au.gamespot.com/news/6306912.html?tag=latestheadlines%3Btitle%3B1

Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark says draft R18+ guidelines currently being discussed by federal, state, and territory attorneys-general could allow more violent games into Australia.

FFS :rant:

This guy makes a very good point.

Despite the record breaking numbers, all of this debate may be for nothing. Especially seeing as the government is run by a bunch of irrational fools.

I for one, will keep pushing for an R18+ rating. As long as the numbers stay strong we still have s chance.

A side-step from the main topic but related none the less.

http://au.gamespot.com/features/6308543/index.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=picks&tag=picks%3Btitle%3B3

A brief summary,

Context plays a very BIG part in how games create headlines and debate. Duke Nukem for example, is "sexist and violent". He treats women without respect and kills anyone who gets in his way. To a young person, who doesn't fully understand satire and irony, the actions of Duke could possibly lead him/her to believe that it is normal... To an adult, we understand that it's all basically a big "joke", so to speak; we know in reality, this isn't how normal men act in society (although I wouldn't mind it, haha).

The article doesn't mention anything about introducing the R18+ in Oz, but I think they make a VERY good point in the reasoning behind classification and why the media and closed-minded people take everything out of context.

To all those brainless sheep against the idea of introducing a R18 into our game system because of the usual "save the children" crap.

All I have to say to your lot is:

"f**k YOU" :rant:

The end.

Supporters of the R18+ classification for video games in Australia have always argued that the lack of an adult rating leads some games to be incorrectly classified into the MA15+ category. The Australian government backed this view today, releasing a comparison of recent video game classification decisions showing 11 MA15+ titles that are rated either 17+ or 18+ in other territories.

This could either be good or really, really bad.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
