Video Game Voters Network lets American gamers get together and lets their opinions be heard by legislators. Get involved. Go to http://www.videogamevoters.org/zerovid to sign up and do your bit.

The Supreme Court of the United States announced that it will hear arguments on a California law—Schwarzenegger v. EMA/ Entertainment Software Association— regulating computer and video games. The restrictions proposed by the State of California are unconstitutional and do nothing more than take away the rights of individuals to make their own choices. Parents — not the government or industry — should be the ones to decide what games are appropriate for their children.

Americans have embraced interactive games played on the Internet, computers, game consoles, cell phones, and PDAs. For over 30 years now, millions of Americans have played computer and video games, and this pastime has become an important part of American culture. Yet, as this entertainment medium grows, it has also become a frequent target of political criticism and legislation.

The Video Game Voters Network is a place for American gamers to organize and defend against threats to video games by registering to vote and letting Congress know how important this issue is to the community. Without a critical mass of adult video game players who are registered to vote and willing to stand firmly behind their games, politicians will continue to fire criticism at games and game players in order to score easy points for their political campaigns.

Dear stupid people telling yahtzee to slow down:

Zero = none

Punctuation = commas, periods, etc.

You = idiot

Well, I'll stay out of this debate, whatever it's about, just because YouTube has to be the worst platform for a debate I can think of. I will say that this video is bloody brilliant, and that if you give two shits about democracy in America and/or video games, you should probably go sign up at the site and, as Mr. Yahtzee said, "do your bit."

-He is actually from England... and i guess he is talking about American politics to raise awareness in the entire gaming community...like say, Bono talks about the politics of almost every country on the western hemisphere in order to raise awarness in regards to poverty in the third world. In addendum: I am not comparing Yahtze to Bono in an, laughable atempt to paint him as a benevolent philanthropis, it was just the best analogy I could come up with...

now do SOPA

[MrJab409]

Why is an Australian talking about American politics?

@Zanator1 And bill C-11 in Canada...

[Zanator1]

No, guys, SOPA is dead, we have something worse. ACTA.

@7CellarDoors he's not American. :|

[7CellarDoors]

Dear Americans watching this. I dont have anything against you guys, really I dont. But could you perhaps keep a tighter leash on your bullshit artists. They are clogging up every video of measurable length in cyberspace with inane political horse fuckery, and its starting to get a tad bit old.

Thank you for understanding.

@salvo711 Welcome to reality, we have SOPA.
