It's all good, Guild Wars 2 early access in T-Minus 48 hours... Guess we'll all have to squeeze in EP 3 between WvW battles or downtime on the servers.

Yes, and a stress test for an hour in just over an hour (9pm uk time)
well as soon as pax 'live feed' was mentioned some of us thought it's another way of saying ep3 isn't out till after this show and we gonna give you loads of ep3 spoilers and some teasing on ep4/ep5 and then answer all the stupid, most basic, totally unoriginal quesitons you 'fans' asked..
but if they don't get ep3 out next week that means it's going over 2 months..which even for me is too long..
Not I. I can simply watch my playthroughs of both episodes on YT.
I use the registered version of Fraps at 30 FPS. A game like TWD doesnt need a lot of horsepower to run, but i also have all of Max Payne 3 in HD for friends to watch the playthrough. That does require quite a bit of power to perform with high quality.
As a father myself I too am sensitive about this subject. Everytime I take my son to go see a movie thats even somewhat scary I get looks and stares and people talking shit. Little do they know that my son knew about the movie begged and begged for me to take him and finally he saved up enough allowance to go. (made him save up even tho I paid with my money.;)) The movie was resident evil afterlife. oh and my son is the opposite of a psycho. hes learning how to catch the bad guys so when hes a cop he can save everyone:p plus if zombies come my kid wont be a dumb duck;):p
The fact is these games are rated M for a reason. They do not say "17+ unless accompanied by an adult"
Watching a movie is one thing, it is a movie. Playing a game is far different as you are the protagonist. You affect the outcome, you do the violence. You use the language, etc.
Sure some kids realize right from wrong, and parenting can only go so far. A kid still is an individual it can affect everyone differently.
What bothers me is the parents will say after the fact "he never gave any signs and he is a good kid" right, but you never know what trigger can be used to bring these thoughts to the surface.
Even if it is 1 in 100 kids, you still take that risk, that your kid is the 1 and he kills other innocents because he was cloudy on right and wrong. They are still children and are not fully capable of understanding everything that adults to from experience
They do not know how to handle situations that may present themselves that you can never prepare them for.
So to simply wave it away as "my kid is a good kid and knows right from wrong" may be true, but you never know what situations he/she may find themselves in later and how they will react when under duress
The only latest news is the EP2 released for IOS next week
Not a word of EP3. :mad:
Aww yeah. Sad about no sign of episode 3, but this is getting a step ahead. At this rate, we might even see episode 5 on every playable console at the same time.
if ep3 is out before or on pax, it would seem an odd move unless the pax thing is merely just a recap of the game so far if they include ep3 it will be like e3 did and spoil stuff.
also they would need to leave some people at the office to sort out any issues/immediate bugs.

What's funny is that TWD is rated 12+ on the app store. Aren't all TT games like that though?
If ya look at all the comment's to each Blog, I would say 99% of them are all about "Where is EP3?" or at leaste some mention of a release date, and not a single comment from TT.
I think TT could curve alot of the negativity with just reasonable status updates.
Milo, don't you ever assume that you are even worthy of commenting on how I raise my children. They are being raised perfectly fine. I'd worry more about your fixation on your Internet muscles. I almost feel sorry for you. Not really, but I am now over you.
You can raise your kids perfectly. Yet you can never prepare them for any and all circumstances in life. Nor can you prepare them for how to react in situations where quick thinking and immediate action are required. TWD is about these kind of reactions.
To say your kids are perfectly fine are the exact same things a kid's parent says after they go on a rampage. The fact is, even if the percentage is low, there is that risk. You can think your kid is perfect, but you have no clue what will trigger a reaction and what that reaction will be.
After all we generally react from things we have experience in life. Kids playing Call of Duty, TWD, Left for Dead and other violent games leave these impressions in their heads. You can not erase these memories or control how a kid will react when confronted with something they have never dealt with.
I still say this plays a large part in why our society is how it is. Remember, Call of Duty and games like that are extremely competitive too and kids use them as a chest pounding ego boost. Discounting that and waving it away as "never happen to my perfect kid" is just an ignorant dismissal of guilt.
The fact is you are letting kids play games they should NOT be allowed to play. That is what ratings are for. Not for you to decide what is good for them or bad.
Just like many of us that are past 40, we know even at 20 how immature we really were looking back. You expect more from a 12 year old?
lol i tried to keep my comment clean & comicaly sarcastic. as you said,TT never comments back no matter how much they're attacked
it's almost like if they respond, they are admitting fault, so they just stay silent til they announce the release date and it'll be just casual.. Like, "here it is, the much anticipated EP3, to be released on ####"
Not, "we apologize about the delay, but here is the official date!
Milo
It is also the decision of the parent. It's no worse than call of duty, and they play that. Plus like I said we love watching the show as a family. I don't understand what you are saying? Did you get stuffed in too many lockers in school for playing too much WOW when you were younger? All you seem to have is a snide comment to anyone who says anything.
No worse than call of duty, which is also rated M for mature.
The fact is this is the same as letting your kid by cigarettes. It is NOT for children.
That is why it say 17+ not "use your own parental discresion"
If your kid ends up causing a massacre are you going to be the parent that wants sympathy and cries "he was such a good kid, how could this happen?"
I see that in every single story of mass murderers

i saw a comment on another forum (can't remember where or who posted it) it was a commic strip:
guy: "I KNOW THE RELEASE DATE!!!"
community: ???
guy: "comming soon..."
community: *TURNS INTO ZOMBIES & CHASES HIM*
hilarious:D

can you stop now. 4 post all the same, games make psychos...we get it and either agree or dont just stop please and back to where the F ep 3 is. did BTTF season 2 take ep 3 to the future or something:p

Right.. Because there weren't serial murderers before the invention of the video game and Call of Duty. Again, people telling others how to raise their children. Ridiculous.
And yes.. It is up to me to decide what MY kid can or can't watch, can or can't play, can or can't do. Thank you for your concern though.

But those kids had to have had psychological issues before that, because any sane person(even a child) would know reality from fiction. That is the problem with these arguments, its impossible that pressing the left trigger to make some polygons fall over will ever lead to a massacre without having problems beforehand.
Watching a movie is one thing, it is a movie. Playing a game is far different as you are the protagonist. You affect the outcome, you do the violence. You use the language, etc.
No you aren't, you are pressing randomly organized buttons to watch stuff happen like a movie, you AREN'T doing anything beyond that. Unless you are playing say the Wii or something with the zapper attachment, but then you are being trained to wait 1 second before anything happens giving everyone else time to react :P
Came to thread on the off chance of some news, and see theres a debate about whether kids should play video games...rename thread to "off-topic discussions" mods??
One minute we were talking about release date and then suddenly we are talking about serial killers and violent videogames? lol guys, stick to the topic.

If you can't tell the boundaries between reality and games and can't tell the moral implications such as killing people is wrong, you are imbalanced, a single game wouldn't change that, if anything it's the parents fault for sheltering the children from the cold harsh reality of life, or at least preparing or explaing that certain things like gunning an airport with 3 russians is wrong, anyways real life is often alot more confusing and scary than any film or game...oh yeh the cigarettes industry puts age limits on them so they aren't considered the most evil company after mcdonalds, that and those health risks I keep hearing about

I had that suspicion as well, just never said anything about it.
Ok so this doesn't exactly name a release date and the comment "We anticipate that this could be as soon as next week" isn't very reassuring to say the least but here's some of the latest news (recycled is a better word) on episode 3.
Comments

Too early to let THAT hope fade. It might WELL be next week.

The app store does say 12+ which is surprising, but i have not seen the game for iOS.
then again i assume the ios version or the reason for the lower rating is the lack of gore and or violence is capped / censored?
