Playing this game could seriously damage your health

Rock Band Drummer found dead after drug OD
Rock Band Guitarist found dead after gunshot wound to head.

Rest of Rock-Band Band group disbands after failing to find someone else with an Xbox 360!

I bought a bottle of brake cleaner last night. On the bottle it read "Not for use in California."

We need California to go away, badly. California is damaging to the US' health. Every stupid law they pass, every silly proposition that's made, inflicts serious hardship and destroys companies everywhere in this country (and beyond).

I watched a news story about how small, local food manufacturers can't afford to do business in California because they're essentially required to change their labelling every 6 months to put up some new warning that you might eventually die, and they're not allowed to let the old labeled stock sit on the shelf.

Isn't that what 18-ratings are for?

Adult's only, on your own responsability. Be it on your head etc?

idiots.

To be honest a lot of games already come with some sort of warning about playing excessively / about the content.

They already have age ratings as well...

It's the individual at fault or their guardian if they become 'addicted' to these games. Not the people who produce this product which is OK for the larger proportion of the market.

Most if not all games come with warnings about taking breaks and seizures. People manage to ignore those, I doubt they would have a problem with a label on the case...

I use to play games 10 to 15 hour days for over 5 years, Dark Age of Camelot, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft, Diablo 2, etc. It's definitely not healthy. You lose touch with the real world, less focus on your job, always late or find excuses not to attend family or friend events or late for work. It is a serious addiction in my opinion, yet it's entertaining. Play responsively! If you know or got friends or family with playing too much games, help them. There is already enough stupid laws in this world and the politicians should find ways to save or spend tax dollars that help everyone, why talk about games now in this current economic crisis

The most addicting games seem to be the most harmless.
How many people have not been helplessly addicted to Solitaire, Tetris, etc at some point in their life?
These are the games that need warnings!

Warning Sandviches are less edible then they appear.

"Why play games when you can go outside and get mugged/raped and/or murdered for real? Real life is where it's at, kids!" (insert Robocop-style commercial video clip)

"Do NOT play the video game Painkiller. It makes you want to kill demonic monks and huge Necrogiants. Not to mention little children."

"They should ban all violent computer games, they're the cause of most bad things in the world today. There was no violence before games were invented, was there? And PacMan flat-out PROMOTED regular and illegal drug use."

"Warning : buying this game makes people in suits want even more tennis courts. Why don't you play ping-pong instead? The sport, NOT the game."

warning, reading this label could seriously inhibit your sense of humour

I wouldn't worry... Unfortunately, PC Gaming has more patches than nicorette and most games come with 2 or more free these days.

Lemmings: This game may induce suicidal tendencies, abstract nihilism, sympathy for the welfare state, nascent environmentalism......

Apologies in advance for not joining the punfest. I'd dearly love to, but I'm just not funny.

Never let the fact that cigarette packet warnings are based on scientific knowledge of the effects of smoking. Lack of scientific evidence never stopped a republican before did it?

Never let the fact that cigarette packet warnings are based on scientific knowledge of the effects of smoking deter a poorly guided campaign to copy the idea elsewhere. Lack of scientific evidence never stopped a republican before did it?

Surely Eastenders has to be worse. And that's on every day.

But gaming every day for a few hours might pass the time, but your life is also passing by in that same time. However after work and dinner what else is there apart from video games and telly? Girlfriend, what's one of those?!!? Don't they cost more than video games? ;-)

They should put a big warning label on anticonception pills box:

WARNING: Fornication without the pill could induce procreation that would lead
to a new life which in turn WILL eventualy die...

There is simply no limit to Human stupidity. Where is George Carlin when we need him? Ho yeah... he's f*****g dead now...

I think that all the games should have this advisory.

This game is only for kids with smart parents.

I think the warnings should be on the borders of California.

"Warning: Being responsible for the governing of California will turn you a complete moron, it may reduce your lifespan by the volume of residents who want to choke the living crap out of you. The rest of the world will laugh at you. California is no way responsible for loss of personal esteem or credibility".
