Never again will parents curse out a poor old GameStop manager because of the M rated game the parents just bought for their kids is *gasp* violent. Never again, will a clerk need to explain the apparently impossible to understand and pointless rating system.
Never again will there be confusion over what games are not for children.
Never again!
GameStop has come up with a brilliant solution to end the absurdity over the MSRB ratings system.
Check it out, after the jump!
Remember the old mom and pop video store? The ones that used to be in your neighborhood, before Blockbuster killed them? Remember how they had a mysterious “adults only” room for “you know what?”
GameStop is taking this mentality to video games sales. Starting next week, all GameStops nationwide will move ALL “M” rated games into a separate back room, complete with ratty old curtain and a place for you to , ahem, test the merchandise.
Some customers are already excited about this new plan.
“Finally!” said a disgruntled parent. “Now I won’t have to look for a letter on the games I buy for my kids. I always thought that was too much work. Now they have a whole room!”
We still don’t know what’s going on in these back rooms. Probably a lot of “hot coffee” action and “Mass Effect” type deviancy.
For shame, for shame.

Actually, this wouldn’t be such a bad idea. Now I don’t have to pick through the crap looking for good games.
Haha! That would be so funny to see.
Ya know…this was the first thing I saw i my RSS feeder when I turned on outlook. I was halfway through reading (saying WTF the whole time) before I realized it was Fiction Friday:) Good job Supa!! This is great!
If only…
There are so many terrible parents out there these days. How can a kid be expected to succeed in life if his moronic parents can’t even find a letter on a box. Doesn’t even seem like nurture had any chance, as nature has completely destroyed his/her chance of success in life.
Too many parents out there who want there who don’t talk to their kids about sex, real from virtual, and right form wrong.
But this would be a good idea if put into place properly. Place all the games by age ratings and put a bigass poster at the top of each one to explain it…And a couple of hundred charts because retarded parents can’t read.
