I'm 34 and been playing video games for as long as there has been games. I have seen the changes in my attitude now that I'm old enough to look back and reflect on life. I know exactly what sort of games I'll be letting my son play (when he gets old enough) and what ones he wont.

Off the top of my head: * At Least It's Not Pot * Video Games: Preventing Youthful Relationships with the Opposite Sex Since 1972 * It's Either This or Dungeons & Dragons * Look Over There! Terrorists! You can use those for free if you want. It's totally cool. We really ought to be emphasizing the alternative activities that video games are keeping kids from dabbling in.

This will not go away until the politicians find a new bone to chew on. Maybe we can help them find that bone. OMG.. Battlebots are destroying america!

It sounds like the industry really needs the ESA to start acting on these bullet points, instead of being a second-rate BSA like it is now. The ESA should take the IDFA as its model. Also, Dave, don't stay up so late! Wow, this is a great presentation/transcript.
