Yes, playing a brief game of trivia before you can play Diablo III would fix everything... Also, asking a question involving politics would get rid of 60% of the adults too.
Haha dude Warcraft 1 had a 'cd check' like that! (I believe it was WC1)
"Enter the word found on line 8 of page 23 in your gaming manual to continue"
"What is the name of the Orcish warlord, found on page 32 line 3."
And that would be very illegal. You and your mom could face prison time for doing something like that (if it was done with her knowledge and for the purpose of cheating an age check). I know, I know, scare tactics. But seriously, don't take something like that lightly ;).
I was just kidding in my last post. I don't think I was of legal age when I first picked up diablo 1, if I couldn't have played it I would have lost my mind and wouldn't be the Diabloite that I am today.
But seriously, unrelated, the Video game industry does not respect ESRB ratings at all. Realistically there should be some way of preventing underage children from playing certain games... other than the guy making minimum wage at Gamestop/blockbuster of course i mean.
But also M should be for like 13 and over. At 13 your capable of playing a game without being heavily affected by it. Also MOST kids under the age of 13 are FAR too annoying to play online.
Maybe I should start a class action lawsuit against blizzard and the gaming industry for not enforcing the ESRB rating strongly enough.
I'll try and set a precedent where the only way to get into the game requires either a credit card number or piece of trivial information from the late 80's early 90's.
Like: Who was president of the United States before George W Bush. Probably get rid of at least 60% of the kids playing. And don't say that's biased based on country, I know for a fact (as a non-American) that EVERYONE over the age of 15 knows who was president before dubya. And thats a tidbit from 2001. We should go further back like, who did Bill Clinton allegedly have an affair with, what did he allegedly stick ... you know.

The new art direction is perfect IMHO. Plus, how do we know the game doesn't get darker as we progress closer to hell?
