Microsoft seeking 'Gunpowder' trademark

@Relvar @blackrunie 

talk about a solid wall of text, you should really use some empty lines.

america is one of the tightest countries to smuggle anything into since 9/11 and even before that, do you really think, if weapons were to be outlawed, guns could be easily smuggled in?

influence of violence? how violence affects children. violent video games and movies don't affect children, that's the whole point: that there has been no proven link between those two.

@blackrunie @Relvar

I agree in principal.... however, it DOES affect us when a kid decides to shoot up a shopping mall or a school. Unless your willing to agree to put armed guards everywhere (which doesn't always work, but is a great deterrent) there is only a limited number of responses to the problem. Taking peoples guns away won't work (If you do that the only people with the guns are the criminals and you lose your ability to revolt if the government becomes tyrannical) so the best you can do is try to reduce the influence of violence on the kids. One option would be to make parents legally responsible if their kids go on a shooting spree, but what happens when the kid is 18? 20? 30? - I think the best solution is to mandate that kids can't buy the games on their own - at least require a parent/guardian to be on-site when the kid buys the game.... If your over 18 (heck, even 16) you shouldn't have any issue. It's a horrible situation, but SOMETHING has to happen, and it's the only real option. They also should implement something like the "watershed" in the UK for violence on TV (no ultra-violent shows before 10PM) and put similar restrictions on buying violent movies.

@Relvar 

what's wrong with desensitizing? it could actually help if you had to stop the bleeding on a wounded person and you're used to the sight.

WE don't have to do anything, the parents should. if they don't, it's their responsibility.

@Relvar lol...oh LOL so hard. Seriously? Fox is the only network with a glimmer of biased free reporting? Everyday conservatives remind me why they are such idiots. Of course, you probably believe in the liberal conspiracies, Obama is a Muslim, and Obama is not born in this country. The second portion of your post makes more sense.

No worries because Fox News, Karl Rove, and the Tea Partiers, are damning their base. They'll be lucky to ever see power again.

@blackrunie @V3rciS I think he meant that YOU are nuts you liberal nutjob.... Fox is the only network with even a glimmer of bias-free news these days, and even they are falling further and further to the left. I don't agree that games should be censored, but lets call a spade a spade - they DO desensitise some people, and common sense laws to keep the most violent games (FPSs, GTA, etc.) out of the hands of 8 year olds may be needed. It should be the parents jobs, but if they aren't doing it what are we supposed to do?

@DeathstrikeNY @blackrunie @Saketume 

i am equally happy and ashamed that i thought too much about this :)

@blackrunie @Saketume Lol.. too deep. Well done.

 The thought is Sony will make the PS4 backwards compatible through their online service, as they have switched chipped set makers from one console cycle to the next.  Who knows, maybe Gaikai will just be for PS+ member.

Streaming is better than emulation (see 360 doing original Xbox games), so I like this.   The added benefit would be the ability to host viewing parties of games as they are played (which is perhaps the only thing I like about OnLive right now).

Hopefully Microsoft will be streaming games, too.

@RadView @elbauto Lol I was joking idiot...
