About Me

Konnichiwa!

My name is James. By day I am a freelance copywriter and editor. While the perks of this job are getting to sleep 'til 2pm and working in my underwear, I've learned far more about hemorrhoid cream and proper swimming pool chlorination than I ever care to.

I guess you could say I'm a "former" video game "journalist" (though I wouldn't call myself the J word). I am the former Editor-in-Chief of Binge Gamer and I spent time writing at other blogs. I gave it up because while I love gaming and the gaming industry, I just didn't have the constitution to run my own business.

Not at the age of 23, anyways.

Let's see... apart from that I'm prior service US Army (Military Police), a stand-up comedian, a connoisseur of soft drinks and I once wrestled a cheetah.

I was victorious.

8 Reasons Not to Buy GTA IV for your child
MaximusPaynicus \| 4:59 PM on 05.01.2008	17 comments

Hmm. I didn't even have to go into the actual game.

You can read my full explanation HERE (shameless plug), but I'll summarize: Look at the box. If the game you want to buy your kids is named after a felony, and brandishes at least four firearms -- you may want to look elsewhere for your ten year-old.

I just hate how so many lazy ass parents who have been trained on child rearing from talk shows an Dr. Phil are too stupid to use their fucking brains.

They forgot the M for Mature tag at the bottom and the fact that hot coffe was all tv for like 7 months.

5 = Black man with a gun, coloured spectacles and a mean look.

And that's where the danger comes from.

So there's nothing wrong with driving the motorbike. That's good. I'm glad I'm not a kid... and I'm glad I don't have kids. I don't want to deal with them wanting to play this, hahaha.

You managed to spell 'reasons' wrong here AND on your own site? That's dedication

1.) The ESRB rating of M for Mature, stating that Grand Theft Auto IV should not be played by people under the age of 17.
