So a really exceptional indie zombie survival game has been banned in Australia. Is it because zombies can literally tear you in half Day of the Dead style and devour your corpse? Nope. Is it because when your fellow survivors become terminally ill, they trigger a side mission where you have to take them out for walkies and obliterate their dome? Nah.

Really? Horrific violence and brutal euthanasia are no biggie, but popping pills is a dealbreaker? I get that Saints Row having an anal rap device is crazy offensive, but how is survivors in a zombie apocalypse scenario using pain pills and stimulants to keep going a banhammer offense? Are Aussies really this sensitive?

You know, actually, I agree with this. They take pills to get better? Ban Max Payne, he downs over the counter painkillers to treat bulletwounds. Could totally happen. And in today's obesity-stricken world, what kind of message does this sick filth put across?

While we're on the subject, popping pills in a video game?

I just feel physically ILL thinking about it.

Seriously, though? Oh, Jesus. Just when you think the world can't get any stupider.

Don't abuse children, or else they turn out like me.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2

Ben: It appears the shoutbox knows all. By turning my smiley into an emoticon it has answered my question. May 9, 2013 20:20:30 GMT 2
