State of Decay has joined Saints Row IV as the second game in 24 hours refused classification in Australia.

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Its sad to see that unfortunately despite the introduction of an R18+ classification, the conservative censors still can just refuse classification.

theres no choice.

we must invade.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

If you're goiing to invade, at least have a better reason than a banned video game.  Coming for your hot chicks with awesome accents.  Or to meet Crocodile Dundee.  Or to make them take back Outback Steakhouse.

The actor who playd Crocodile Dundee has already passed away.

In any case, what do you expect them to do? allow fun video games in Australia? it's supposed to be a penal colony after all! :P

Wow.  I guess forcing Aussies to pay a hundred bucks for a game wasn't killing the industry fast enough down there.  :(

Only if we're bringing them back here.  I ain't staying on a continent where virtually all the native flora & fauna is hell-bent on killing us.
