'Bye
on: June 16, 2008, 06:58:12 am
sorry everbody, but, here goes:

My dad was getting our computer ready to be wiped, and he sorta found out about my downloading habits for FS. He got really pissed, and banned me from the computer until further notice (i'm writing this- as usual- from a school comp) and said once i was allowed back on, there were getting a parental block and ****...

i know this is probably good news for some, whatever news for the rest, but i thought i'd let you know...

:lol: Yeah, well, FS isn't rated Mature for nothing.
(The statement above is not true. It was meant to be a comical interlude but it obviously failed miserably. According to Wikipedia, FreeSpace and subsequently FreeSpace 2 have been rated as follows:
ESRB: Everyone (6+)
USK: 12+
ELSPA: 3+
OFLC: G8+

End transmission)

This is why it is occasionally good to have a spare copy of FS on a DVD/stick/external HDD.

probably just for a week, but the effing parental controls (if they do get one- my dad is very impulsive, and my mom just sorta follows him... he usually backs off) will make it so i can't do anything once i get my comp back...

Build a bunker/shelter around the computer while your parents are at work. Bring food and water for 5-10 years. Don't forget to make holes for air to go in. Also, don't forget a toilet and a hole through the window for everything to go out. Make sure you got backup power linked to your neighbours, just in case. Then lock yourself down and live there. No school, no parents, no sleep, no bath, no brushing your teeth, no friends, no... Um, disregard this message.

Seriously. My parents were never this strict.

If they think FS2 is inappropriate, tell them to try playing it or at least watch you play it. They'll get bored since there's really nothing inappropriate, unless they think blasting aliens is oh-so-sinful. Heck--pull out the scripts for everything and let them look for themselves. Other than that, gameplay really doesn't change... it's a space drama, not a space porno. And if he was thinking you were getting viruses, I would challenge him to do a virus & trojan scan. It may be a bit data downloaded, but it's not illegal, especially the larger portions (fan-made campaigns, media vps, advanced media vps, recompiled audio and video).

        Maybe like, don't spend your time downloading everything under the sun but instead you can spend time on your home computer Fredding for that Teeth of the Tiger Campaign or whatever it is you're working on, then at school you can upload it. You might actually get more work done without the forums to waste time on all day long. :D
