You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

There seems to essentially be three different kinds of Let's Plays:
1. The gamer's commentary contains small talk and wisecracks, which I find to be particularly engaging; double points if the wisecracks are actually funny.
2. The gamer's commentary is basically nothing more than a play-by-play of every single action happening on the screen; informative for tougher games, but a tad boring.
3. No commentary whatsoever.

I mean.... welcome to the 21st century in Amurica.

So I'm not allowed to point out that I'm a creative person, even though I am? What makes other people experts who don't know me experts at what I am? I'm obviously in a creative field, and I'm obviously a creative, artistic person - I can tell you that upfront, so who's to say I can't say that I'm a creative person?
And who actually boasts about being a disruptor anyway? Are there people in workplaces who actually do that?

If they're full of themselves, then yeah, probably.
Okay, here's something to take into consideration:
We've discussed the ratings system (and it's merits, or lack thereof) on MC plenty of times, but something recently just struck me odd about the ratings system. . . .
We have PG-13 and we have TV-14.
Similarly, we have NC-17, and we have 18+.
How did they come up with these? I mean, do they seriously believe that somehow one year age difference is significant enough to warrant these types of separate ratings? Are 13 and 14-year-olds so vastly different that something that may be okay to subject 14-year-olds to may be too much for a 13-year-old to handle? Likewise, what would be so horrible that apparently 18-year-olds can handle, but not 17-year-olds? Is it like driving? Is there such a difference in these ages that, in a sense, PG-13 or NC-17 is like your learner's permit, and TV-14 and 18+ are like getting your driver's license?
And what's the deal with M and MA? What happens with the M that they have to slap an A next to it?

I mean, have you SEEN how "mature" today's "adults" are?
(Though I will agree, I always found TV-14 odd but I guess it's because by the age of 14, the mind has already developed inappropriate thoughts even though I started watching Futurama and Family Guy at 12 and Beavis and Butthead at 13. Heck I even started watching South Park at 14).
NC-17 to me might as well be straight up porn.

What do the 60s fictional bubblegum pop groups The Archies and The Banana Splits have in common? The characters/members of both groups have decent-sounding singing voices, but ridiculously cartoony-sounding speaking voices.
