Personally, I wouldn't want my kid to become fat, spoiled, socially inept and unwilling to learn things, beyond gaming, by the age of 12. But, that is my responsibility, because kids aren't going to be thinking of their future. Obama targetting the console manufacturers is obviously more politically sound than targetting his voters. That's just how politics works, which is broken.

Yup, as I grow older I am trying to undo all the damage from spending too much time indoors playing PC games in my youth thru to early adulthood! I seem to be much more active these days compared to 10, 15 years ago. The metabolism ain't getting any faster :p Listen to me, I sound like an old man, lol :o

You should only be allowed to choose your class (e.g. Gamer, Jock, Weirdo, etc.) once you reach, say, level 14. Do you think the available classes should have prerequisites based on your attributes and any chosen perks?

That would be sooo cool. I think i would have been a multiclass Gamer/Weirdo even if i got to choose. But now other people choose your class for u which is no fun. There should be like a class choosing quest.

Okay. Maybe you choose a secondary class. Your initial class is based on your origin story. So you could be a Tralier Trash Jock, or a Hieress Skank.

I agree with Obama. Throw away the Xbox and play PC games instead.

/Takes aim with Spartan Laser.
Say what?!
I love my pc as much as the next guy but damn. Throw away the box. NEVER! I can't play Halo or Mass Effect 2 on PC.

Obama should be pro Xbox because it's All American made with Japanese parts and assembled in Cambodia.

Yes, we CAN!
