MLD Woody Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-yee-arrest-20140327,0,3801978.story#axzz2xEaMZB7r http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/26/leland-yee-arrested-corruption/ In a turn of events that sound an awful lot like something out of Grand Theft Auto, a prominent politician has been arrested on corruption, gun-running and money laundering charges. The irony here is that it's California Democratic Senator Leland Yee, who was a vocal supporter of gun regulation and also authored AB-1179, the (defeated) bill that would have outlawed the sale of violent video games to the Golden State's minors. As the San Francisco Chronicle reports, the arrest was part of a lengthy sting that brought in some 26 other perps and even involved Yee taking campaign donations from an FBI agent posing as a mafioso. Yee's out on a $500,000 bond according to SF Weekly, but he's due back in court next week and is facing 16 years in prison. The irony here is astounding, lol. I am actually surprised Cal hasn't posted this yet. It must be huge on all the sites he normally visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Exactly. any attempt to ban violent video games is just stupid You never hear them talking about banning violent movies. As a parent and a life-long gamer of both violent and non-violent video games, it's is MY job to control my kids' exposure to these games and make sure he has a proper understanding of the differences between fantasy and real violence. And as a protest to this fools attempted legislation, I have an extra free download code for Battlefield 4, would anyone like to have it? First response gets it.

Osiris Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'll take it. Which system? Oops, I shoulda mentioned it is PC. Let me know if it's still good for you to use. Also to be clear this is for the actual game, not a battlepack. I got it for free with a video card purchase after I had already purchased the game.

MLD Woody Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 It is pretty fun. Fast paced and very smooth on the controls. The parkour stuff actually is a cool and interesting edition. I don't get to play it as much as I'd like though. Halo is still my favorite shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
