I know, just clarifying.

Australians ruin Fallout 3.
"Cube said:The truth about what, exactly?"Relys said:Being an idiot that speaks the truth... That sounds better than the alternative.""Demilich said:No but he made you look like the idiot you are.""Relys said:The problem is you didn't prove me wrong."I was saying, that "expressing your view of me through spam". Just show's how solid yours is. ;)
Because it was pointless, and you took my words out of the context I intended them to mean."
Oh yeah, me too. That is, I mean every time someone proves me wrong with my own words it's taken out of context."
Do you even know which party is running Australia right now?
Wait, instead of answering a simple question like that, continue with your unbelievably thought provoking "their politics suck" campaign.
Over video games.
Video. Games. Are you a fucking child or something? Christ.
OK, we get the point, the australian laws suck (i am an australian and have witnessed these laws first hand) But this is just rediculess. They only changed the drugs names from real ones to fake ones. No one is missing out on anything. If you think that you need real drug names in a game to add realism or atmosphere you are an idiot. Sure, It would have been nice to have morphene instead of fake name x but ow well.
I think this game will still be totally awesome so stop winging and bitching and move on.
"They really think its going to stop your from getting the game though? I assume there isn't THAT big of a market in Australia, so really they can't think real gamers like you guys are going to be stopped by this?actually its usually much cheaper to import due to the ridiculous retail costs of games here.Does sound expensive to import shit though, I feel for you guys."
Update, with clarification.

Pay attention in English class. You might learn something.
Damn Australians always ruining the world for the rest of us. Damn, I hate them soooo much!
What dumb crap are they gonna do next? Turn on a second Hard On Collider? Whut a bunch of Id'jits.
So a name was changed, who cares, I don't have high hopes for this game. The gamplay videos just look like a big ol' FPS with classy art design.
It's funny becase the censorship is a lot lighter on some things (like the words "gun" and "damn" aren't censored out in music videos) but because we lack anything stronger than MA15+ for video games, games deemed to be targetted at adults (18+) can't get released here. Because, you know, only children play games.
So let me get this straight the Australian rating board makes a huge deal over drug references but not the ability to blow peoples limbs off? Hmmm....
"You're complaining about them changing the name of Morphine to a much more awesome sounding drug?If the drug had an original awesome name to begin with and was later changed to be called morphine, there would still be people complaining. Just ignore them.
Why.....why must people complain so much?"

Worst thing we had in the UK was the manhunt 2 ban, and that won on appeal but because of the controversy as far as I know no-one will stock it.
Seems like the kind of thing Bethesda would've done anyway on the whole they are pretty consciencious as a company and as soon as an objection about it was raised you sort of had to know it would go world wide
