No zombies and no guns make Andy something something

look at the fingers. it's like a big "fluff you" to the Austrlian Classification's Board


What the hell.

Left 4 Dead 2.


Well, refused classification, but effectively banned nontheless.

...in the words of Phillip J. Fry when he finds out brains are trying to learn things: "I'm as mad as I've ever been." Once more our humble Office of Film and Literature Classification have royally screwed up big-time, refusing classification to the one game I might have possibly thought about maybe paying money to purchase and then take home and consider playing this year. The reason?

Kind-of human-like zombies spray blood and stuff from detatched limbs in an "extremely realistic fashion". Yeah, "realistic." The new hand-held melee weapons apparently have made it far too voilent for the kiddlywinks (kiddlywinks = under 18's, so yeah, people like you and me... well, me anyway), so it looks like, unless Valve (the company responsible for the voilent afront to the Lord!! ...etc. etc.) censor it for Australian release (or the OFLC give in... unlikely), there'll be no more bloody zombie'n thunder down under.

In my opinion, this is bullshit, but I'm sure some government figurehead has to make shit decisions that affect a possible minority and even more possible majority, right? Right? ...heh, wrong. I'm keeping my head out of the dirt on this duck-up.
