Huh? Well, if you never played Zelda: Ocarina of Time, then maybe you won't be used to the Zombie at the scene when you die.

The arcade game uses NES backgrounds, NES foes, andthe fighting Link is also NES. However, the clips that pop up, such as Zelda (saying OMFG) and Link being suffocated by the Zombie, are from Ocarina of Time, which is a game that was HUGE on N64.

No, they creator of the arcade game added Zelda's audio. And, she didn't curse. She actually said "O M F G".

Zelda has a voice? last time i played, only Midna had an actuall thing that could make a voice....

Also, the zombie never choked link when i played....and i have a naturall size computer screen so when a face pops up..it POPS UP...i gotta stop going off topic

and what was with that sudden graphic change during that?..i think it should be deteted to tourture icee. or at least a warning saying "Hey! Orcania of time style pop-up when you lose HP. If you don't live by yourself, turn the sound off!

I'd be better not to play the game..but "discuss it" so i can keep other pains out.

Well, I personally don't think that the game is too adult or mature. Sure, there's red blots, known as blood, but you have to remember, it's all virtual.

[Goldfish]

that wasn't the big "I should stop this.."

I've explained the BIG problem about 20 times already.

PS: Congradulations, you made me fear orcarina of time...more than i already did (prices O_O...no $700 dollars for a creepy game)

PSS: Its called the Arr!Cade for "ARR! SCARY STUFF!" and the cade to make it look american. in america

We're still working on those. We'll have them posted up soon. Most of the policies will remain unchanged. G-rated discussion, advertising, and some others will have to be completely revamped.

ReDeads are zombie-like beings that proliferate around Hyrule as a result of the magic of the evil being Ganondorf in the Legend of Zelda series. They were first encountered by Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. ReDeads are evil animations, arising in the wake of Ganondorf's ascent to plague the shadow lands of Hyrule. ReDeads were notorious for being one of the more horrific elements featured in games such as Legend of Zelda, adding an unexpectedly dark element to the game.

ReDeads employ certain supernatural methods to attack enemies/prey. If a person makes direct eye contact with a ReDead, the monster will let out a paralyzing shriek. If a victim comes too close to a ReDead, paralyzed or not, the ReDead will jump on top of the prey, enveloping the victim with its limbs to keep a solid grip on their victims. They then proceed to bite into the victim, draining its life energy. Only after struggling viciously enough will the victim have a chance of throwing off the ReDead.

From wikipedia. Also, there is no cursing in the actual game.


Now, back on topic. I guess I can accept some gore. Afterall, this is a site for a pirate online game. And I guess I could get used to having things like BB or S around this site. But don't you think that having games that contain curse words is kind of pushing it for a PG site?

[Cownip]

To be honest, and I'm sorry to dissagree with you on this one, but I think it's kind of nice. The number one reason I stopped going to ttc or, even more-so, vmkfourms, is that I got tired of the g-rating and chatting with kids who were sometimes half my age. I like hanging out with younger kids, I babysit, but I don't like to on the internet as much, especially on a forum. Plus, as time went by, I accidetly kept including words like god(as in "God this is annoying") or discussing more mature things, till it became obvious that I coulden't talk freely on those forums. Here, however, I only have to hold back a little bit. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't feel joy at the sight of or mentions of ***** or buts, far from it, but I do get the general feeling from this game that we're definetly on a (for want of a better word) more mature site.
Edit:
Hey Baleth, if the game turns out to be strictly pg-13, will this site stay pg, or will it move up a notch to pg-13 too?

Well i've seen some..lets just say.."odd" videos posted in the past which were pg-13-R rated. also if its PG-13 you MUST require an age limit (for instance, today you would have to be born in March 16, 1994 to be able to register)

[Rattlebones]

Actually no... The only required age limit which requries some kind of confirmation is for adult (18+ or 21+ depending on country) content.

I'll have to defer to Nick who understand the COPPA act better than me, but COPPA says only if we collect personal information do we have to confirm your age and the only thing close to personal information we can be considered as collecting is an email address which is required for registration.

However, I believe that unless we know for a fact we are targetting under 13 year olds on th esite we wouldn't have to comply with COPPA.

Again I defer to Nick and -RCV- on this topic... but to say we "MUST require an age limit" is just wrong. If COPPA applies we must require children who register to state if they are under or over 13, and if they are under then they have to have a parent's consent to use the site... we have no compulsion from any government to restrict anyone from accessing any material except that deemed to be "adult contentl."

As an aside, please just use the report a post options do not PM us or post new threads reporting other threads...
If something needs immediate attention go to th elive chat and talk to someone there.

[Goldfish]
