Be warned, I do not excel with the words, but I'll do my best. I have favorites, but I try and keep an open, unbiased mind. Just because I love my XBox, doesn't mean I hate my PS3. Also just because I love my shiny new current-gen games, doesn't mean I can't appreciate old games with technically inferior graphics.

I was in the liquor store last week buying a $35 bottle of Gentleman Jack. What kid buys Gentleman Jack? It's a sipping whiskey. Not schnapps.
[i]Why would a kid want this? They need Jager and Goldschlager."
that was at an Ebgames.. and down town toronto, they may need to be a bit tougher.. still.. ebgames employees are douchebags for the most part (he wasn't going to let me buy 2 copies of halo 3, one for me, and one for my lil brother) till I made him feel pretty stupid about it.
Anyways, yeah man!! The system is being followed and practiced somewhere, just because it isn't in Florida (which - is crazy if you've ever read Fark) doesnt mean it's not at all
26ers of strong, cheap, generic booze
alcohol that tases delicious (girls)
40's of malt liquor
THAT is what underagers drink.
Colt 45 Double Malt, Paul Masson Brandy, Crown, Heiniken in Draught Keg, Tequila 1500 with lime & 151 with Coke.
My kind of drinks.
And in case you haven't guessed, I don't have a driver's license. I never saw the incentive of having one with gas prices as they are now. If I want to go somewhere I ride my friggin' bike. I'm working on getting one exactly for this reason though.
Reminds me of high school.
I've never been carded for a game, but then again I was already old enough when the esrb came out with the ratings.
And yeah, kids just want to get drunk, not appreciate the drink.
My father-in-law got carded buying cigarettes on his 55th birthday. White mustache, slightly wrinkled face, badly balding. There was no way anyone should have thought he was younger than 18, or looked younger than 27 (Delaware law, you have to card anyone who "looks younger" than 27). And they wouldn't give them to him until he showed ID. Pretty damn ridiculous.
In Ontario, liquor is only sold by the LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario), and if you don't have Gov't issued ID, then you can sign up for an 'LCBO' card, which serves as ID there. LOL now we're gonna have to start making 'mature video game buyer's ID card'.
You misunderstand, I'm pissed off because I bought like 50 M rated game there at the same store from the same guy with my school ID and then all of a sudden they said I couldn't use that. It's that they all of a sudden changed their minds about what ID's are valid is what pisses me off.
you can go to the dmv and get an identification card for like ten bucks.
I'm 29 and drink to get drunk. I drink water when I'm thirsty. I'm also an alchoholic.
good day.
I was thinking on doing that, but fuck it, I'll just get my damn drivers license since I'm going to need it eventually.
The only thing I get carded for is drinks, and then only sometimes. I dont think I have ever been carded for a game, even when I was 14 and bought Diablo 2
Like you say, it's good that they are doing their jobs, but i've looked 25 since I was 15... they have to feel pretty stupid for carding me.
