(And he told someone to commit suicide I have no sympathy for anyone who does that)
Correct me if I'm wrong but can't he get in serious trouble for that (especially if the person actually did commit suicide)?
I think you'd have trouble getting a conviction (given the sheer number of suicide urgings made on the internet every day) but I'm not a lawyer
You can, but it's next to impossible to prosecute without a lot more effort than it's worth.

At least with Fish, I don't hear retarded backpeddling. At least we know when that guy tells you to kill yourself, he means it :P. (Again, I don't follow much of, well, anything so I don't even know if that's true or not.)
And that's a good thing? All I see is a good reason to kick him in the balls.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

...Yes. In the sense that he's never dancing around what he means. I only enjoy that sort of thing in my literature, not so much people. You should still kick him in the balls though :P.

This really needs to get sorted out, it's an issue with absolutely no reasoning behind it aside from some half assed old laws that got lost in paperwork and nobody knows how to price games accordingly. It's kinda embarrassing when the third world has cheaper games than Australia, seriously.

They said LAWFULLY, not pirating. XD

Meanwhile, Australian consumer group Choice has published a set of guidelines on easy ways Australian geoblocks can be defeated, including using parcel forwarding services to order from US-based vendors, using VPN services to fool geolocation, and instructions on setting up a US iTunes account. None of the methods listed appear to involve actual programmatic circumvention, and most are relatively easy to implement.

This is what I've been telling Luffy to do for years now, it's the most sensible way to shop online because that's what I have to do. I have membership with Aramex that grants me a US, UK, Chinese, Indian, UAE and Turkish mailbox, for just a one time fee. Items are shipped to said mailbox and you just pay for the weight, when it comes in.

It's still Refused Classification, mang. If customs decides to rummage in my overseas parcels and finds SRIV in there, I'll be in big trouble xD

They can't rummage your downloads, can they? ;3

What about through Steam? I know that it blocks certain games if they're banned in your region (I hear it does that with us for GTA) but if you use a VPN or something, you could bypass that, right? Though I'm not sure if it'll continue giving you access to a game you bought if it's still banned but, yeah, it's something to consider.

No, but you know my stance on digital games. Or at least, you should :P

For the most part, Steam doesn't really do much in the sense of geo blocking here. The only games that tend to be blocked are either RC'd or specifically edited for the Aussie market, like L4D2. It doesn't seem to apply to games that haven't yet been classified, as I managed to get my hands on Runner2 from Steam because I got sick of waiting for the Wii U release.
