given that, y'know, they're making a rated M game available to anyone without proof of age
I'm just sayin'
There are no laws about whether or not someone can play a game because its rated M.
dang
I had always sort of assumed there was some sort of law regarding distribution of m-rated games
I guess not?
Nope, not for movies either. Anybody can go see a rated R movie or buy a rated M game legally, regardless of age. Stores just chose to ask people for their ID to make sure they are 18 because it makes them look responsible.
...this sounds like shenanigans
can i tell the bitch at the window to fuck off next time she ids this 24 year-old

There are people out there who are actually stupid enough to think you can't legally sell an m rated game to a minor?
Those trying to play Quake Live may have had some serious issues with the whole playing aspect of things. Long, brutal queue times have been there since the open beta launched a week ago. Now however, word is that everyone should be able to actually get in there and play a game without waiting in line to do so. This news comes from a Tweet by Quake Live:

Shit, awesome. I've gone to the site and sat queued for awhile but haven't gotten a chance to play this yet.
does anyone know if you can import quake 3 maps? Ive got a couple i made that kick ass
I doubt it. It seems to be all run on servers run by id.
Also tdot. It is basically quake 3. If you liked quake three you should like this version. It will run pretty well on even old machines I should think.
There are currently only the original Quake3 maps plus a few made specifically for the release of QuakeLive. As far as I'm aware there is no way to play your personal Q3 maps since ID controls the servers. There was talk of including more community created maps at some point but I'm not sure how far along that initiative has gone.
Ok the queue times were there so thousands of people wouldn't log in simultaneously and most of the queue was some half million people that downloaded the game the first week
And as far as custom maps go you'll most likely have to rent a server to make your own maplist and rules

you're fucking retarded
game ratings are not a legal issue, they're a store policy issue
No, it's a legal issue in several countries.
lots of things are on the internet and are free and are illegal in places and legal in others
like porn: in oklahoma, where i live, hardcore porn is illegal by law, but can i still find it on the internet if it is free? of course. are the cops gonna bang on my door cause i like to see scat porn with a hint of bestiality and arrest me? probably not.
i know we arent allowed to discuss it, but the guys at pirate bay (sort of) get away with what they do based on the same principle

That'll make class substantially more tolerable.
should I try it?
I doubt it. It seems to be all run on servers run by id.

Ooohh. Well. It is a pretty awesome game to just pick up and play for a little bit. I heartily recommend it as the Quake series is fucking awesome.
And as far as custom maps go you'll most likely have to rent a server to make your own maplist and rules
I'd has said this on multiple occassions
STEAM!
couldnt i just host it on a seperate comp for me and friends to lan on?
or do i have to rent from them?
There's no more queue, the stats are even working now too.
There is no server, just the client. You can't run your own server, they are all run by iD or whatever host they are using.
