“Bungies attempt at a cliff-hanger was about as successful as The OC when Marissa shot dead Ryan’s brother.

Not that I watch that stuff”

Mainstream Media Hits - Matt on ABCs PM program

News from Matt - July 17th @ 12:46pm

One problem I've always had with the mainstream media is factual inaccuracies, and getting only opinions from rabid anti-gaming campaigners (ala Jack Thompson). That's why I was glad to talk to Timothy McDonald of the ABC, who contacted me regarding the banning of Fallout 3. I did a short interview, parts of which appeared on the program.

You can see the full transcript and the mp3 podcast of the article.

As a final point on this I thought I would have a look into "Young Media Australia" who are also quoted on this article.

Their website has the following text "The Young Media Australia Helpline, web site and small screen are supported by a grant from the Government of South Australia www.sa.gov.au".

And most tellingly: "Young Media Australia’s Movie Review service is supported by the Attorney General of South Australia". Do I need to say more?
