How can he expect to convince his parents with sloppy power point work like this? The text does not respect the margins, ffs!
And yet, it looks better than my classmates slides in college :|

Technically even though we all played some 'hardcore' game sin our youth graphics were not as detailed and games weren't as deep as they are now, so that alone makes a difference.
Still I would buy the game for the kid, but keep it under lock and key maybe, or maybe let him play while supervised?
So you say no because it doesn't work? But it doesn't work because you say no. That's a logical fallacy, sir.I would've told him no simply for being a little smart-ass thinking this would work.
How many of us played violent games at 13? I know I did. I was obsessed with Mortal Kombat when I was 8. I turned out kind of OK. I don't think there is a definite "right" answer whether its OK for this kid to play it or not. I love gore in movies and games but I see a drop of blood IRL and I faint. As long as the kid has the ability to distinguish fictional violence and real violence, I don't see a problem with it. When kids can expose themselves to any media they choose via the internet, whether its on their phone or at a friends house, I think its good to allow some leniency about this kind of stuff when they show maturity about it.
Slap a bunch of restrictions on them about things they are interested in and end up with a rebellious hellion.
Spoken like someone who either doesn't have kids or is young enough to still be considered a kid by others. Age is absolutely the issue - no one is a special snowflake that somehow lives outside the limits of human evolution and development. I see this in my own kids all the time: "everyone else might be weak and not able to handle it, but I'm the exception to all that and will be fine."
No, you aren't the exception.
Maturity comes from time and experience and children, by definition, have neither.
If I were his dad I would've told him to let me think about it and the next day I'd show him a power point presentation about why games are rated M and why he can't play them.
A lot of arguments in here saying that he's probably seen worse on the internet. Yet nobody in here is arguing for his parents to go out and buy him porn or something either because he has probably had access to worse things on the internet..
You monsterI'd buy him Knack instead.
This kid did the fucking work, as a parent I would be compelled to buy it just on the idea that he went through this much effort alone to convince me. Incentive like this deserves a reward if not at least some sort of recognition.
Lol this must be doneGTA V |OT| I Benefit From the Fun
Who am I to judge how someone else raises their kid?

And for the kid understanding the no if he got one (considering the slides dependent on an answer).
Here is his reward...
HA! Awesome reference. Though Bonestorm is extremely tame compared to GTA5.
