You have our word.

So, in case you hadn't heard video games are now protected under the freedom of speech. What this means is that the rating system that the ESRB came up with in order to keep minors from purchasing games that are not supposed to be picked up by persons of an undeveloped age is still around, and California can not limit what is put into said games in order to "protect our youths". They were asked if they would be willing to drop put the same limitations on the movie industry and the reply was a resounding "no".

Much blame goes out to video games these days. Being criminalized for violence that the player is taking part in. I'm not going to say that that isn't at least a little true, but the reality is we have restrictions on who can buy the games that are labeled too mature for young audiences. I support the ESRB, however, I do not support the limitation of content in a game. If you feel that game is too much, then you can make your statement by not partaking in the material. It's the same thing you do when a bad movie comes out, you simply don't see the movie.

But games are a resource that have been mostly untapped into. Some people feel that the learning experience is not something that should coexist, but in all honesty, we can't over look the teaching medium in games. I've seen it done before, mostly with little successes, but this is because teachers are making the games, and there are no developers involved. A game is not made, it is developed. It is forged, and with a group of developers being instructed, we could have a medium that is approachable, fun, and a good source of knowledge. Games that do more then develop hand eye coordination and actually teach. A game from a company like Valve, made in cooperation wit a university science team could make a game where you are part of the lesson while keeping it interesting.

I've always been a strong supporter of games for knowledge, and learning because you would like to further your own understanding of what surrounds you.

And with that, I highly recommend you google something you find interesting, and learn at least once a day.
