Running Ratings

It isn’t as risque as you might imagine. Mostly a lot of clarification on how they classify violence in video games. As you know, many of our games fall in the “Mild Violence” category. Now I’m quite well-versed on exactly what that means. Though you’d be hard pressed to define it in a simple sentence. The ESRB is a crafty bunch, and their system is quite helpful in determining the strength of a game’s content. Perhaps I’ll divulge more on this on another day.

You end up with the phrase: [A snowy castle times a magical finale]. Its another clue, so multiply [TRT = snowy castle (4) by FIN = magical finale (5)]
