Australia And Hl2
<div class="IPBDescription">banned?</div> Just picked this link off of fallout:
<a href='http://www.sumea.com.au/snews.asp?news=1222&related=Industry' target='_blank'>HL2 banned in Australia?</a>
I don't know what Australia is like in terms of games restrictions. Can any Aussies give us a bit of insight?

Its not adults only.. Its M (Mature) according to the ESRB and 18+ according to the PEGI.. The Austrailians just don't have an R class rating for games.
an Adult Only rating would be akin to well.. an X rating.. so far the only rating system with one is the AO rating from the ESRB (Only one game has gotten AO so far)
Mohahhhaha!
In actual fact, Gordon can't get out of his suit. The zipper broke during Black Mesa. He's currently dating Samus, after they met at an Ensconsed Inside Metal Suits Anonymous.

Thats one stinky sweatbag that is and hes cheating too! could this be another cobe bryants case?
Some random guy on some random website, speculating idly isn't what I'd call authoritative. The fact that we don't have an R18 rating for games doesn't mean that, because it was rated R18 elsewhere, we've got to drop it because our scale doesn't go that high.
Don't be ridiculous. It'll be MA15+.
And what moron would block HL2 in Australia? There are far far worse games released here and HL2 would sell like hotcakes.
Nothing but some retard on some random site trying to stir up a little controversy with a tiny bit of flamebait. Pay it no attention
Pretty stupid, although AUS won't be able to buy via Steam as Valve will refuse to credit the transactions by law.
Also, you guys in Australia don't get the GTA series?

Hrmmmm... I've seen it advertised on TV, I'm pretty sure we will. And anyway, many people in Australia have already preordered (read paid) for HL2 via steam.
Only thing we haven't got, in recent memory, is Leisure Suit Larry Magna **** Laude.
Gordon is part of the suit. Think back to HL1. "Major fracture detected. Morphine administered". Under that suit, Gordon is a soupy mass of flesh. The suit is the only thing holding him together. Remove the suit, and Gordon would:
a) Flow out of the suit like a viscous stew and
b) Die from shock as he's now a complete morphine addict

Quoted for truth.
HL2 Will NOT be banned here or else the mass-nerd tidal wave witll overthrow the government. 'Nuff said.

hhahha your latin got edited.
champ.
Yeah we got all those games over here in the merry old land of 'straya.
I also agree that if they banned it there would be carnage in the streets.
And anyway, steam wouldn't block a credit card number because of an 18 plus rating, as i thought you needed to be 18 to get a credit card...
...huh?

Gordon's life holds no more meaning to him. He would love to take off the damn suit in one of his rare lucid moments and end it all, but the pully bit on the zipper snapped clean off.
Credit card transaction worked fine.

GTA3 got slightly edited. I think the only thing changed was the ability to have sex with a prostitue in the back of your car for extra health points...

What a shame. How about the Postal series, did Austrailia get that?

Yes, because having sex with a prostitute for health is far more dangerous to a young adults mind than blowing up an entire police army for fun.
