Did Giant Bomb just ask me how old I am?

i started to watch the Halo Reach trailer and my nightmare came true....Giant Bomb told me to enter a fake age to watch a video...I hope everybody at Giant Bomb knows that I just killed a 12 pack of kittens after this...
 
Why? When? Is it there forever?

This has been happening for a while now.

Its been there for ages now. Why should it be a problem, anyway?

it's just a 'Cover Your Ass' thing. They have to put those things there, otherwise they'll get in shit for it.

they shouldn't be a probably if you are 17 or older. If you are younger, well I guess you will just have to wait to watch that those super cool videos!

Yep, also you're going to have to enter your Social Security Number on your next login. It's to better serve you. :) I kid. It's the ESRB's fault.

. . .just lie if your not old enough who cares its just there to protect the GB crew from sue crazy idiots.

you will go to hell if you lie 
 
or at the very least you wont get any good christmas presents

That is nothing new, they have to do it or they will get sued. However, What was the mature part of that trailer I don't get it.

Nothing new there. 
And it itsn't really a problem. Unless you're always honest about stuff and under the age of 18 or something, then it might become a problem... 
But let's face it, you're not honest about stuff like that

They've been doing that for ages.  Just click the "18" and be done with it.

Would you perfer the website be liable for all the children of the world watching effin quicklooks and getting sued by some asshole? No, so shut up and quit moaning about something that does not matter in the slightest.

Being 80, I have no problem with it, nor will I years from now when I'm 80

Wish it was just a yes or no question.  It'd be faster.

Why don't they have something where you put in your age and you never have to deal with that bull again?

I will never understand why they dont just use an age you input in your profile as a "key" to watch all the videos that would have an age gate. 

"That is nothing new, they have to do it or they will get sued. However, What was the mature part of that trailer I don't get it. "

What confuses me, is how on the like of Dante's Inferno they never had one.
Or they didn't when I originally watched it.

That's not up to GiantBomb.

Might have something to do with how high profile Halo is, I dont even want to guess how many incoming hits they will get from people posting links to the video or just searching in google. "

I don't have to lie anymore. I feel special. :p

I don't understand why the age gate is bugging you, what's wrong with it being there?

Plus i have heard that your penis/vagina will fall off too. "

I don't know why people seem to not understand the point of age verifiers. The point is if little billy lies to the verifier and sees some Dante's Inferno titties when mom walks in, the host of that video is in the clear because your child had to lie to get in.

The "enter your age" thing doesn't bother me in the least but can someone explain why the Halo Reach trailer has the age question while the Rouge Warrior QL does not?

Someone actually loses time entering their birthdate? 
 
i just take the year to 1900 and then ok. lol
