I've heard that some video game rating guidelines have changed over these years, like PEGI giving games an automatic "18" if they "encouraged or taught gambling", like the old Pokemon games and a few Rec Room minigames from Super Mario 64 DS...

We all know that under copyright law, everything published before January 1, 1926 is supposed to be in the public domain today, so what's the point of Paramount still claiming copyright to the 1923 film "The Ten Commandments" within the YouTube...
2 years ago, I hear that Abominable got banned in a few areas for some incorrectly labeled map, as seen here:
Now, according to Box Office Mojo, Japan, Korea and Malaysia are not listed in the total gross list, BUT the three actual countries that banned it were Malaysia, the Philippines, and...
Well, I still think that just because he's described as a teenager and sounds like one, doesn't really mean he is. My guts still tell me that he's 11-12 years old in the syndicated "Adventures" series, unlike in other media.
Are you god-fricking kidding me?!?!
Why would modern-day kids want to see a really old completely unfriendly for kids movie that came out before their parents were born, anyway?
It's Christmas Eve today. For that, I wanted to show you some made-up lyrics I made to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas".
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me:
12 strawberry milkshakes
11 vanilla cheesecakes
10 apple dumplings
9 oatmeal cookies
8 chocolate doughnuts...
When I was younger, I used to play in the snow a lot. But now that I'm older, it's become a lot more of a problem for my life. Sometimes, I'd have to dig it out, and I'd have issues going to work as well.
I've recently heard about this creepy shit in Super Mario 64 called "The Wario Apparition". I'm not sure if it's fake, since I've seen it happen on a YouTube video of someone playing the game on an actual cartridge and it all happened for real, and the game just crashed!
However, when I...
We should know that Disney made six package films (Saludos Amigos, Three Caballeros, Fun and Fancy Free, etc.) for various reasons back in the 1940s, but what happened to these films after The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (the last of the films) stopped playing in theaters?
Okay, so there was this one time when some former parents' guide to movies called FilmValues.com was active online. They believed that all three Ernest movies (Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest Goes to Jail, and Ernest Scared Stupid) would be "too silly" for the 15-17 age group. BUT, those same...
You know, there is one way you could get that many continues. I've tried it on an emulator called "BizHawk". By using RAM Search, you can change the number of continues by clicking on the thumb tack icon and setting the value of the address 05C5 to a different number. A value of 3-9 will simply...
Seriously, two is not enough. Why not nine, or even best yet, infinite? It always sucks whenever you get a Game Over for a third time in a row, especially when you're so close to beating a certain boss.
This show has been long gone for years. The last time it was ever released, I believe, was just 3 episodes of it on the video game Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition on September 16, 2012. It was also available for streaming on Nintendo's Wii no Ma in Japan until April 2012, and the...
In the ending sequence after you defeat Bowser and rescue the Princess in the All-Stars version of the Lost Levels, there are two versions of it. In the standard version, this is what the ending looks like:
But in another version of the game, the ending looks like this:

There were only like, 645 cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. only 17 days ago. Now, it's 100 times that.
Plus, YouTube's employees have recently left their offices, so we're clearly stuck with the old COPPA bot system until the coronavirus pandemic is dealt with.
Well then, get ready to let it be the last straw now because look what else I just found: a WHOLE channel called "Sundance Now" had all of its videos set as "made for kids" (most likely by accident). To make matters worse, one of the videos in there is a trailer of a movie that is actually rated...
I've noticed that in Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 and Super Mario 64, no food is served as power-ups -- well, other than mushrooms, which I wouldn't count anyways. You think there should have been real food as power-ups in these games? If so, which ones?
It's not the creators' fault here. The videos were flagged automatically by YouTube and the FTC, so the blame should go to whoever made up the new COPPA rules.
Guys, I found FIVE Sausage Party videos that also got flagged as "made for kids".
Mod edit: Some of these videos really shouldn't be linked on this board, thanks.
And just so you know, Sausage Party is an R-RATED film. This clearly shows that COPPA, FTC, and YouTube are not knowing what...
I understand that in most franchises, there's no definitive, factual age for the main characters, but I'm still curious to know how old they are based purely on their looks. My guesses are:
Banjo, Krunch, Drumstick - 13
Bumper - 12
Conker - 11
Timber - 9
Diddy - 8
Tiptup - 6
Pipsy - 5
Taj the...
Honestly, the creators should sue the FTC for this -- for flagging certain videos that can't be played on YouTube Kids, and for allowing kids to see these offensive videos.
You think it's NOT a bad thing? Well, have a look at these three videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P6PeXK0zmg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAHcI3MhesU
One of them is even an age-restricted video based on community guidelines.
Just yesterday, YouTube has now flagged millions of videos as "made for kids" (those designed for children up to age 12). This even includes really old videos uploaded way back in 2006, as well as foreign videos (like Japan, the UK, and pretty much everywhere else).
Even a few TV-PG shows ended...
I still have the console and four games for it: Super Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, and Paper Mario RPG. But they're just personal storage now.
I know, you're probably gonna say that it was because of Luigi's minigames that contain mild gambling, but before that, the games were rated 3+ with the gambling games intact. Can anyone be more specific on how all this happened?
Has anyone ever heard of these weird looking games called "Super Boy" and "Super Boy II"? They're actually ripoffs of the first Super Mario Bros.. A lot of things are also absent, like the Toads, Princess Peach, and of course, the Piranha Plants in the pipes. There's also only two music...
