I\'m doing a report for school and I need articles on videogame censorship. Magazines, online, whatever you can find. Can anyone help?
-
Here are some good sites about censorship in video games:

http://www.theroc.org/roc-mag/textarch/roc-15/roc15-08.htm

and one of my personal favorites:

I hope those help out a bit. (https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.plauder-smilies.de%2Fperson%2Fticking.gif&hash=ac4c7c9c9785a47200c5e5c91f9e8a5bbd392883)

I\'ll reprint some articals from SegaVisions and Interaction magazine for you. They\'re too long to post here, so I\'ll attach them as .txt files. Gimmie a few mins to type them up.
-
Damn. Can\'t edit a post to add attachments. Here they are anyhow. If you want more, I\'ll see what I have laying around.. including an open letter to Sega gamers from Sega\'s president at the time concerning videogame violence.

... Sorry bout the format. TXT sucks ass. Why can\'t we attach RTF\'s to the board?!?

Thanks Guys:cool:

Hey man, just let us know how you do on your report. It’s nice to be of help.
;)

Since you guys are in a helping mood, I have 4 shows to write.
We are welding nickle rod on cast iron. I need 22 minutes split in 5 blocks.
How about re-curving a distributor to spec. Same format
How about upgrading suspension and adding a trailer break package?
Hmmm, none of those? OK, at least help me out on my Ignition module failure show.
Boy I would greatly appreciate it.

I could get all the info you need but it would take a few hours, but here’s just a taste.
For your suspension problem:
INSTALLING CHASSIS TECH\'S LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION ON OFF-ROAD\'S PROJECT: PREMIUM PRERUNNER
1. The basic components of the Chassis Tech long-travel suspension are the tubular upper and lower control arms, the 4-inch lift coil springs, and the optional multiple-shock engine cage. The control arms and the multiple-shock cage are fabricated from 1-3/4-inch, mandrel-bent steel tube with a wall thickness of 0.188-inch; the control arm pivots feature greaseable urethane bushings and zerk (grease) fittings, and the performance aftermarket ball joints are installed in the control arms at the Chassis Tech factory. The multiple-shock engine cage is a worthwhile upgrade to the Chassis Tech long-travel suspension, because it provides torsional strength to the frame and allows the installation of dual shocks; the upper control arms are already set up with dual shock mounts. Since Chassis Tech powdercoats its suspension components in-house with Cardinal powder, a buyer can choose from many optional colors; we chose a bright-silver powdercoat for our long-travel kit, although we coated the springs red for contrast.
2. A&B There\'s nothing wimpy about Chassis Tech\'s long-travel control arms; its construction features steel tube that\'s MIG-welded in place using special jigs. Check the crossbrace on the upper control arms (A); this is an important design element of the Chassis Tech arms intended to greatly enhance the upper arms\' resistance to twisting and flex during severe off-road use. There are dual shock mounts in place and even neat, welded-on brake line brackets (arrow) to keep the lines in their proper position. Chassis Tech\'s lower control arms (B) are hell-for-strong; the arms use the same tubular construction as the upper arms, but scope out that gusseting around the spring pocket and from the pivot points to the ball joint pocket -- extreme strength is the buzz word. The upper and lower control arms use sturdy aftermarket ball joints; there are special bumpstops and an antisway bar bracket is welded in the proper location for a no-hassle install.
3. A&B Really, there\'s no comparison between the Chassis Tech long-travel control arms (in silver) and the OE units. Much of the increased suspension travel is created by the longer-than-stock Chassis Tech control arms. By swinging the wheel through a longer arc -- created by moving the wheel and tire away from the control arms\' pivots -- increased wheel travel is achieved. Furthermore, additional wheel travel is created through the use of taller coil springs and the shape of the control arms, which provide more clearance between the frame and arms without contact Finally, the design of the arms retain the proper geometry for the steering knuckle/spindle, which maintains quality handling and accurate steering traits.
As for the ignition problem here’s something I found:
All ignition systems in use today can be classified as one of three basic designs: distributor, distributorless or direct. There also is a semidirect system that uses one coil for two spark plugs but only one secondary wire. Direct and semidirect are the latest trends in ignition system design, and their simplicity makes it likely that they will become even more popular in the future. Diagnostics for these systems are a little different from the others, and in some cases may require an older tool that\'s not often seen in the service bay anymore. To understand those tests, it helps to understand a few design and function details of electronic ignition systems in general.
If this sounds like it will help at all just let know and I’ll dig up the rest.
I know that you were being sarcastic, it’s all good. I just thought I would take up the challenge.
:D

Wow, very resourceful. Now make each of those into 22 minute shows. Minus of course a 45 second open, about 10 seconds for teases at the end of each break, 2 :15 second tips, a :20 website bumper and :40 credits.
Good luck..

I would do this for you but it would cost ya. I don\'t mind helping out those that can\'t help themselves (not that Breatheout84 is helpless of course). I think you are a very capable and whitty dude. So, perhaps you should GET TO WORK!:D
Its all good Vid...Thanx for the challenge though. I enjoy finding usefull information for people.

Well I\'m glad you didn\'t really try. I already have the shows written.
hehe.
