I was worried this was a thread for sharing picts    

I have Yarlen on it, but it looks like we're good (for anyone that wants to customize their 'barbarian' sovereign).

Yeah, sometimes the ESRB does strange things...... I've played Halo, and I would say that it's a pretty solit "t".

I know.... it's kinda sad...... the movie ratings are pretty whacked as well......

This comic was written during the Age Of Conan mess where (female) nipple removal was a ERSB concern.

I think it should be.  And by sharing picts, I mean *you* the developers, sharing nipple pictures with us!   (rather than us sharing nipple picts with outselves, which would likely go in a very *bad* direction.)

Ah, back in the day.   (I miss carmageddon)

I remember when Eldar's scroll 2: Dagger fall had a "mature" setting just built into the freaking game.   It wasn't hidden or anything like that.   It toggled on and off forced clothes.   If it was set to mature, then the characters could be undressed (my little 10 year old mind was so pleased to get so much boob action) but you could install it with the filter on, and LOCK it with a password.    If that was the case, even when naked the characters had underwear on.

You can't do stuff like that anymore.  Because even if the 'adult' files just happen to be on the disc, even if they are IMPOSSIBLE to access without a mod or patch, it counts.   (see GTA: San Andreas - got retro-activly rated AO, because it had parts of scrapped 'porn games' on the disc, and with a patch they could be made accessable)

I had to resubmit the 'PM2008' cutscene because it lacked SFX...like we're going to randomly throw in racial slurs and people getting killed as some bobbleheads bounce down the street 

On a serious note,

It's odd that you can snipe other players in a violent realistic PvP game or use a atomic powered chainsaw to grind away alien/zombie hybrids, but if a boob pops out GOD HELP US ALL ITS MATURE!!!!!!!

Never understood that.

Its pretty funny how out of whack the ERSB ratings are. The categories are somewhat vague and they often get applied to games which do not deserve to rate them.

uh... the search I used was google images for either "kingdom hearts Atlantica" to find the image.  I already knew what I was seeking.  I searched a few other things like "trama center screenshot".

I said to myself "are there any games where somebody is in a swim suit or otherwise be without a shirt?"  Because in most swim suit games the girls almost don't wear shirts, and it would look very stupid if the men were covered.   When the little mermaid came to mind and I exclaimed "of course!" then went online to find a picture of Sora.

geez, I didn't find Sora by searching something perverse   I just searched my mind for games where I knew there wouldn't be a shirt on the men.   I then found a screenshot of it, and posted it.

I hope that we can have nipples on our females in game. All this religious based censorship really irks the hell out of me.

If, for whatever bullshit reason, it is not possible with the inital release at least offer a correct DLC pack after-the-fact.

That's been my biggest eye opener last year really is how North America is totally fine with almost any kind of violence but nudity almost sickens some people.

I can only guess that sort of attitude to nudity comes from puritan religous groups and has become part of the American culture, I think it's a shame personally.  People spend all sorts of money on things that look nice, art and architecture and yet they are scared to look at one of the most beautiful things of nature, the human form.

Perhaps, I was making a general statement that was intended to show a trend.

It was based mainly by several forum threads I've seen where quite a few people said they didn't like nudity/sex etc in modern culture, most of them talking about in games or movies that contain ridiculous levels of violence.  It was in the forum threads I was talking about mostly Americans who were voicing their distaste and Europeans who had a more 'liberal' attitude to it.
