Isn't he married or something?
I remember his GF appearing in one of his videos

I'm not sure about that.
I stopped watching them some time ago because every vid was essentially "hey let's argue about meaningless shit for 4 hours" or "hey let's talk about shit everyone already knows and agrees upon but act like we're two geniuses thinking outside the box and congratulate each other on how smart and deep we are".

Back then i don't remember him talking about a GF or wife, but he does have a job, he worked as a bartender (isn't it hilarious? a legit ex alcoholic that works as a bartender), and he wanted to study to become a teacher eventually.
So it's not far fetched to think he managed to fool some idiot into marrying him eventually.

I don't know how it is in Australia but isn't it technically legal to sell games without a classification? I know no retailer in their right mind would attempt to stock a game without a rating, but I don't recall any legal basis that states you HAVE to have it rated

Get fucked Aussies

If a game isn't rated then shit is a grey area. If a game is rated and then refused classification, it cannot be sold in Australia, and if it is found by customs it'll be swiped in the mail. It is not illegal to own refused classification material.

Steve Irwin used to banter with potentially dangerous animals, if that helps as further confirmation.

I'm not sure if they'll be able to get it off the PSN or if they're getting locked from that as well for games like this and MeiQ, but I've heard that if a game is refused classification, bringing a copy into the country becomes illegal, though once a copy is there, they can't exactly stop someone from buying or selling it amongst themselves.

Hilariously enough, apparently some higher up out there at EB Games Australia got triggered by Gal*Gun and Senran Kagura EV and the chain will no longer carry them. And apparently, they're offering a full refund for people that have bought them as encouragement to return the games, as if to say what copies of the games are there are such an issue they need to be recalled. Though that case isn't the games being banned outright, just EB Games pulling an "AU Target GTAV" scenario.

Fortunately, Australia speaks something resembling English, so they can just import it if they're desperate.

I'm actually pretty worried that this retardation from Ausfailia will spread to the civilized world. That sort of horror keeps me up at night.

I mean, we're slowly, slowly winning against cancerous localization companies. It's about time for the shoe to drop, right?

Buy international gift card for PSN, make new PSN account for a different country, purchase game. Simple.

Pretty sure as was mentioned above customs can seize imports if they're in the mood to do so.

Honestly, I feel bad for PAL fans of Japanese games. Various games getting lengthy delays between coming out in NA and coming to PAL areas, some not coming out there at all, and then Ausfags have to deal with certain games being declined classification outright and apparently being treated as contraband.

Australia seems like it wants to be the southern hemisphere's Germany (who are also prone to censorship and game bannings), and have their own San Fran-esque SJW hive in the form of Melbourne from what all I've heard.

I think it has more to do with their ratings board being shit though. I mean, Atelier Rorona Plus got a higher maturity rating than a fucking God of War game out there, the absurdity of it prompting those "High Impact Sexual Violence" macros. Rorona Plus only got a T from the ESRB in comparison.

Supposedly the refusal on VD is due to "implied Sexual Violence" according to Techraptor asking them.

True, but with how much space some Vita games can eat up, I know a good amount of people prefer to have access to physical copies when possible.

Their women are also ugly as sin, which apparently also contributes to their insanity. Perhaps they would have been more calm if they were allowed waifu games… but nope!

Well, at least they aren't as bad as the Finns. Man, those dudes are batshit insane.

...

I fucking hate this line. Their codes are full of weasel words and the same game can be rated differently based on the mood/composition of the people rating the game (they're supposedly a group of "average people drawn from all walks of life to represent australian tastes" or some shit like that).

What's the big deal?
Nothing of value was lost for our aussie friends.
The game is trash and the only good thing about it is the softporn scenes which can be just viewed on the internet

This shit is pretty bullshit, but honestly I'd rather live in Australia than the USA. I can live a decent life in Australia no matter what, whereas it seems in the USA you have a good chance of being born in abject poverty.

The censorship does suck, though, but I get to eat good food, live in a big house, and enjoy great weather and people

You're an idiot and I'm a New Zealander that has to live next to them.

no shit

It's hereditary heatstroke. Also, the genetic background of half of the population includes Ireland, so minute Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in 20% of births.
t. Cityfag
the cities are lefty-tarded and the bush-bashers are chill but still unusual

I've heard before that the Aussie ratings board is comprised of people that don't exactly look like they play games, and it wouldn't shock me if they take a "why is this allowed" stance about some of them even existing. While sad for Ausfag customers, I'll give PQube credit for not bending and censoring the game just to get the ratings board there to even give it a chance to come over. Meanwhile Namco's cutting the one of the Jojo character's default Nazi outfit in the new Jojo game's entire western release, all because otherwise the game will get banned in Germany (which is another shitty place for people that like games if you ask me, and they apparently even have an entire "Moral Decency Bureau" or something, I forget what the exact name is, that bans or removes any media they find harmful to the citizenry).

You can see a list of the classification people here. The interesting thing is that they're the same people who rate movies and tv shows.
classification.gov.au/About/BoardMembers/Pages/Classification-Board-Members.aspx

Only one person on the board has a stated interest in video games.

Nothing of value was lost.
Another shitty weeb game with the gimmick being some sort of softcore hentai.

So it won't be sold in stores, but can it be acquired online? Steam, Amazon, or something to that effect.

I'd rather live in nz to be honest

B& IN AUSFAILIA

I hear that Play Asia is offering to stock it if it can't be natively sold in Rooland, and the Vita itself is region free as far as cartridges go (IE: US imports, or buying from other PAL areas that are clearing it), but there's still the issue of customs potentially seizing it. That's just in regards to physical copies, anyhow.

Given how prevalent it's becoming, I wonder how soon a publisher will capitalize on the situation with a "The game too hot for Australia!" tagline on whatever they handle, should it be barred from sale down under.

I thought it wasn't illegal, just suicide to actually sell it? So glad I live in Clapistan right now.

As someone else mentioned, it's a bit of a gray area. Something about the game technically not being allowed into the country, but once/if it's in the country, it's there.

Not sure how or if a game not being rated effects PSN versions. I know that Australia is part of the PAL PSN, but I'm not sure if they can just block something on there too without blocking it region wide if the game is overall receiving no rating. Not an Ausfag either, so I don't really know.

What's suicide to try to sell seems to be AO rated games that aren't on the PC.

Why do people keep insisting that several thousand kilometers of ocean is the equivalent of being "right next to". Seriously, you could fit most of non-slav europe in the distance from Australia to New Zealand.
I've lived in Australia for a while and I have to agree with , Australia is an awful country and only slightly less terrible than living in a mudslime country such as sweeden

Short plane ride is a short distance to us.

Absolute shit overly biased moralfag government in a country where everything can and wants to kill you if you so much as even accidentally disturb it.

Is it any wonder 99% of Australian posters being shitposters is not a meme, but outright statistics?

Here's a question; why doesn't Australia just fucking abandon the country considering it basically belongs to the most inhospitable and nightmarish nature on the entire planet?

Is it shit because of the gameplay not having enough to offer for entertainment or are you stupidly calling it shit just because of the Japanese artstyle?

I haven't left because I'm fucking poor, and my destination of choice is hemmed on all sides by fucking EU migrants and I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.

If it was the UK, I'd worry. Since they seem to infect the world with their ideology.

Australia? Who gives a fuck about that place.

what the hell is going on there

Then why is Game of Thrones on Australian television?

It's Japanese. Maybe you should not criticize something that you know absolutely nothing about.

They aired meguca on a kids channel.

I would assume western made stuff gets more of a pass for it than Eastern media, or that since TV shows aren't exactly interactive, it's not as if the viewer is doing it? Just a thought.

oy gevalt
It's because the whole country has already torrented the entire thing

Fucking NUCLEAR/10
Your salvation is right across the ditch, my anglosaxon brother.

I'm sure the ratings board understands your frustration.

If you lived on an island where everything is either hyper aggressive, contained neurotoxin or both you'd be crazy too. Seriously, Australia has a fucking tree that has neurotoxin in it's leaves shit's crazy down there.

I don't think it would be an issue if they actually did rate it M or whatever the equivalent there is. I mean, the rating's board certainly has their own issues with rating shit way higher than it should be at times ("High impact sexual violence"), but at least the rated games can get retail releases there. This is just them saying "Nope, not gonna look into this one" and then effectively removing the chance for people there to get native physical releases.

Really reminds me of that scene from South Park with those two cable guys getting off on how annoyed the people that were stuck with them got at their shit.

While not Australia, Papua New Guinea has two of the only poisonous BIRDS in the world, and Australia has one of its own as well.

Yeah, calm down m80. The classification board are cunts sure, but we all just pirate everything anyway so who the fuck really cares?

Thank fuck I no longer live there. I can enjoy my gook shit as I please.

Any fellow ausfags know what the penalty for getting caught importing banned games is? Thinking of going ahead and importing regardless

I have no idea considering the chances of getting caught are pretty low, most distributors will even plain package it for you if it's banned like whem MK9 came out.

NEGATIVE ONE HUNDRED FUCKING PERCENT

DAILY FUCKING REMIDNER THAT IT IS LEGAL TO

BUT ITS ILLEGAL TO HAVE EXHIBITION OF BANNED CONTENT AND DISTRIBUTE BANNED CONTENT

The Australian Classification Board is the most fucking retarded shit ever,
DAILY REMINDER THAT THEY BANNED BUSHRANGING-RELATED MOVIES BEAUSE OF MUH WOMEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME!

...

The real issue is that they haven't banned anything worth caring about in years. It still sucks, but it's not something that's going to cause an outrage.

For example, they've only banned a single anime, ever. The second OVA of Violence Jack. You can still find copies of Legend of the Overfiend all over the place, for example. They don't know what they're doing, and just occasionally pick on some no-name thing they notice that they can bitch about and no one will care. If they do something like try to fuck with GTA or Fallout again, yeah, there'll be a huge shitstorm, but they wont. They've found a comfy niche of things to attack and pretend that makes them relevant.

And anyone who actually buys jap games knows how to import them or pirate them anyway. If you play panty-quest but can't import or read moon, you're like some sort of failed weeaboo.

It's perfectly legal to do all of those things, except import it.

Buying it is illegal and it can be confiscated by customs if found, and the buyer penalized. However, owning it ISN'T, as long as you don't use it publicly. Unless you're in WA, where ownership is banned too.

I've never heard of anyone actually being prosecuted for importing RC games, but you can be sure that at some point someone is going to be made an example of.

Has there ever even been an uncensored release of GTA in Australia?
Every one I've played had gore and prostitutes removed.

So what if you're a let's player and you play the game on your shitty LP channel?

Does that count as using the game publicly?

Pretty much all since IV. IV had a decensor update rolled out after release and the PC version was released uncensored.

Yeah, you could get prosecuted for that.

GTA4 had some blood elements removed, like footprints and tiretracks, but it wound up getting patched back at some point. If something gets resubmitted, especially if it's a worldwide case like the hot coffee versions of San Andreas or The Punisher, it rarely gets upheld. So San Andreas is completely uncut, in the same way most everyone else has it.

You even get weirder stuff like Dark Sector getting banned for a while, but you could still find loads of European copies in second hand stores.

so what you're saying is I could be a shit and swat aussies for playing games they shouldn't be playing.

Yep.

Why is Australia such a nanny state?
I thought you were all supposed to be tough as nails and take no shit from nobody, and yet here you are banning a game with sexy anime girls.
Where did it all go so wrong?

The greatest despondency in my entire life was being born Australian.

They used to be then they gave up their white Australia policy and guns among other things. Even their knives to the point they ban things like balisongs.

People with the tendencies to get into positions where they can control media are almost always giant pussies.

You're thinking of the tourism advertisements from the 80's. Australia is now governed by either lefty cucks or religious fundamentalists at different levels. Neither of which will allow fun or video games, which is why it considered normal for the average person to pirate most of their entertainment.

It was never truly like that. Australia has a history of being rough, and constant attempts at pacification. Beer is super popular because the crown decided we were too risky on whisky, and marketed it like crazy back in the early days, for example. The gov stuff is close to straight up British politics, and the unis and melbourne and all that are fucked, but the drier suburbs are still pretty clean.

Basically, the city folk are largely lefty uni poofters, and the country side is near on texas. The gov says "oh no you can't do that", and a huge chunk of australia suddenly "loses their rifles on a fishing trip". The hotter in the area it gets, the more real the folks are.

Are you stupid?

I'm a Yank and I had two Australian room mates a few years back for 12 months sharing a 3 bedroom apartment, while working in Asia.

Got introduced to a lot of stuff, got to understand a lot of stuff, got to drink like crazy and throw crazy fucking parties and hang out and crazy fucking places doing crazy fucking things.

Best year of my life.

Artist for NGNL is a hack tracer who can't draw for shit when he isn't allowed to trace another artist and add his colour above it.

They won't.

Let's face it, anyone who works in any rating organization is quite obviously authoritarian.

After all, why else would you work for something that tells people what they can and cannot look at based on their subjective feelings?
