ESRB: Bring In Da Noise, Bring In Da Space Giraffe
The latest addition to the ESRB is not in the least bit exciting. Oh, I'm sorry. Were you interested in the Tempest-based psychadelic shoot-a-thon named Space Giraffe? In that case, pop the champagne.
The game garners a rating of E for everyone. Guess Minter did indeed eliminate catchy phrases like these (link filled with naughty words, beware) from the game.
This announcement is likely extra cause for celebration in the house of Minter as the various ratings boards threw them into a bit of a tizzy during certification. But that is all behind them now and Space Giraffe is finally past final cert and hopefully headed our way soon.
In addition to that, the XBLA-speculated Live Free or Die Hard has reemerged at the top of the list. But honestly, that probably means little to nothing.
Here's a rundown of what else is lurking within the bowels of the ESRB after you click the link below and stuff.

"Guess Minter did indeed eliminate catchy phrases like these (link filled with naughty words, beware) from the game."
The swearing was put into the game for footage and screenies so that big game magazine publishers would not post footage anywhere for fear of complaints or loss in ad revenue. It was never going to be in the final game.

I'm kind of glad Space Giraffe didn't have the words. They'd all probably get in the way of the action anyway.
Oh, and after all this time, the Madonna pack for Lumines Live! still cracks me up.
