Probably a handful of crappy flash games, somewhere out there.

... I think, technically, unless something has changed, the kid would be legally capable of purchasing the game. Which is the interesting thing in what the kid was saying, to me. ESRB and whatnot aren't (or weren't, anyway), strictly speaking, legally binding. Kid was trying to exercise 'is/'er economic rights! It's almost admirable.
Store policy is a different story, though. From what I recall, many/most of those actually do require ID for stuff over a certain rating, and they generally have a right to refuse custom so eh.

It means we should treat it as boring and banal -- which it is -- and move on with moving on. Slap it with the AO it probably deserves (i.e. the economic kiss of death) and leave it to languish. The game gets produced, it sells jack all and promptly sinks to the bottom of gaming memory, everybody wins.

I'm pretty certain you'll find something or other along those lines in, at least, the eastern stuff. Shinto's got the dongshrines, Hinduism et al has the whole trantric stuff... there's room in that arena for emission sacrifice.
Want to say I vaguely remember similar stuff among the african and/or native american junk, too, but there's tons and tons of varying traditions in those general areas so *shrugs*

There's a thread for the game in question, and discussion on it. Beyond that, this topic would be better placed over in OG.
Also, spoiler the image, please. Ruddy thing's gigantic. Could also just quote the text bits, instead of plastering the thing across everyone's screen.

Dutch, this is about the last place you're going to have people harping on you for wanting to look pretty.
You can wear your puppydress without restraint. We've got your back.

Hrm. Fair enough.
I think I liked it better before, though. I'll just... keep my headcanon. No story. This Ellison person never existed. Just game.

I thought it was just a game...?

The only good thing about pop culture references is that feeling when you know you're looking at one, but fortunately cannot recognize its source.

Pretty sure that's a hangnail.
I... don't think it's exactly the right thing to do, but I usually just, y'know. Pull it off/out. Hurts, bleeds a bit, then it goes back to normal.

Yeah, I'm sure revoluting, whatever that is (sounds kinky?), would be a fun way to spend a weekend, but I got mouths to feed and severe allergies to lead, tear gas, prison rape, and homelessness. Maybe once they do something someone cares about more.

Yeah... it was made marginally worse by being a staffbringer. 3-400 damage bomb to your face stings, especially when that's like a third of your HP >_>
Which actually feels kinda' anemic for a 30th level character, but eh. Third level talent, still pre-east, etc., etc.
E: Game. Game ;_;
Why would you drop my 5th level shaloren demonologist onto the second level of the scintillating caves. In line of sight of two goddamn rares? I... I survived. Didn't eat a death. But bloody hell that was close. And cruel.

Minor heads up: Black Ring on a Doombringer is close to the worst idea ever. Poor Last Hope. I was trying to kill a pumpkin ghost, not half your civilian population. Also ow. Darkfire to the face is painful.
Actually, wearing the black ring at all seems to be a terrible, terrible idea. Darkfire's a pretty crappy spell to begin with, what with the sizable AoE and self-damage, and about the only way to make it worse is to tack "uncontrolled" onto it. Which is what the ring does.
E: Oh, that poor idiot ghost. Magetown is seriously not the place to try to jump someone. Especially when you're in range of the deathbeast.

... not even when they have a class feature that allows them?
