The ESRB Responds To Censored Gaming's Email! - Duration: 2:47.
You may recall how in a recent Censored Gaming video, it mentioned how I decided to send
the ESRB an email asking why games are treated just so much stricter than things like movies
and TV.
You should be able to find a link to the video in question on the screen now, so make sure
you check that out as well, but, in summary, a big part of the video was taking a look
at what the ESRB calls "Principles and Guidelines for Responsible Advertising Practices".
This is a big long list of rules that all video game advertising must follow - this
includes things like trailers, commercials and even video game covers on shop shelves.
In the Sexual part of the rules, the ESRB says that any "overtly sexualized depictions
of a character's body parts, such as breasts and buttocks" are not allowed, and this is
the reason why changes like this have to often be made in the US.
This might seem strange though, as also in the US you'll be able to find tits everywhere
from magazine covers to TV commercials.
So why do the ESRB have these rules then that treat games so much worse?
Well, a communications manager at the ESRB has now responded to my request for comment
and here's what they had to say.
First they clarified that when game advertising is examined, they look at each on a case-by-case
basis, and don't just look at the content but also the context.
They explain that they have no insight or control into how other mediums operate from
an advertising or standards perspective and can only speak for games and the standards
which the industry has agreed to establish and have the ESRB enforce.
So, with them talking about taking things like context into consideration, it might
seem that the rules may not be as strict as was thought.
However, they finish by pointing out that they also must be mindful of the broader population
that may come across an ad.
It is with this point where all of the restrictions seem to be coming from.
Despite a game being rated Mature, for example, its advertising must still keep in mind things
like children who may end up stumbling across the material.
So, in summary, the ESRB aren't able to talk about how other mediums operate but, yes,
the ESRB does regulate advertising.
And despite children being allowed to see sex on things like TV all of the time, the
ESRB doesn't see this as a reason to start allowing these things in video game advertising.
The communications manager finished by saying they are happy to take any other questions
so, Censored Gaming is asking you, what do you think about all of this and is there anything
that you'd like to see asked?
Let me know in the comments below and, as always, thank you for watching.

My 5 Goals for FannishReviews in 2017 - Duration: 4:39.
Hello Internet.
Around here I go by KatOfDiamonds and welcome to my FannishReviews.
Like all of the channels, basically, I'm doing the same thing -- I want to talk about my
goals for reading in 2017.
For the first time in 4 years, I failed my reading challenge last year.
And as far as resolutions come, I don't really want to call them resolutions.
I feel when you call them resolutions and then you don't make your resolutions, there's
like a big stigma about Failing Yourself.
But I just want to set goals for myself which means that I will take daily actions towards
them and be excited for myself when I have done enough of them.
Or all of them.
Versus resolutions seem so finite.
So with that perspective in mind, I've given myself 5 goals for my reading habits & FannishReviews for 2017.
#1 - I want to read 52 books this year.
It was my goal last year and I kinda changed it to 50 as the 2/3 or 3/4 of the year went
through and I really realized the the end of the year was not going to be good reading for me.
And this time I want to stick to that [52].
#2 - I want to cut my unread books in half.
I think I have 50 unread books.
I- In a previous video I had, like, 75 [books] or something but I do remember actually culling
a few that I hadn't read and had lost interest in reading.
I probably should do that again but I might wait and do that at the end of the year 'cause
it kind of leads into my third goal.
#3 - I want to buy less books in 2017 AND therefore buy more books from brick and mortar stores.
In my last two hauls, and even I think the haul before that, I talked about buying books
on Amazon, BookDepository and BookOutlet.
And there's nothing wrong necessarily with buying books from those places -- 'specially
since I don't have a car so Amazon is really helpful to me for buying books in their release week.
But at the same time, I do want to support my brick and mortar, favorite stores anyways
and really kind of by proxy help the publishing industry, and local businesses, and small businesses.
Just making that conscious decision more often -- maybe by ordering through their online
services instead of Amazon and then having one there for me to pick up.
And that will just require researching, like, how long they'll hold a preordered book for
you or if they'll hold it and you pay for it or if I have to pre-pay, etc.
#4 - Actually to help with #1 & #2, I want to participate in more Readathons.
I have mostly just participated in BookTubeathon, which I totally love and absolutely plan on
participating in again this summer.
But there's also these other wonderful Read-Your-Selfathons...
24 readathon...
There's the wonderful Around-The-Worldathon that Melbourne on my Mind has started.
So really I just want to not only read my shelf more but
get back involved in the BookTube community that way.
#5 - Borrowed from my main channel because I want to do it here, too -- I want to have
at least 90% of the videos of 2017 captioned on this channel.
After this video.
Or maybe this video..
It really just kinda depends on what my week looks like but that will also maybe push me
into scripting more videos or building that process into my creation process a little
bit more..
It takes me so long to do it.
This is my side husstle that doesn't pay and I work a full time job and I want to have a life.
Also, reading takes a long time.
But captioning and having proper captions is important to me.
And as always, for this video, future videos or videos in the past that don't have it,
I do allow caption submissions, if you would like to help me in this goal.
And having this goal to have captions might change my content a little bit.
I might be making shorter videos or long videos with music in the background.
Setting this goal, of the percentage so high, might end up changing the content I create
but also I think it will push me to create content I am even happier with.
And that's that for this video.
I hope you've enjoyed my goals and let me know in the comments if you are doing the
same thing.
Feel free to link your video, if you have done the same video as me.
I know that video responses are pretty much nonexistent anymore
and I don't think that should be a thing!
Any other YouTube engagement, like Liking and Subscribing and all that jazz, please
do it if you feel the need to.
And really, until my next video, Happy Reading.
*blows kiss*

American Real Estate Investments and Get Rich Education Tour Dallas - Duration: 9:54.
(upbeat music)
Hello everyone I'm John Larson one of the partners
here at American Real Estate Investments.
I'm joined by my good friend Keith Weinhold
from Get Rich Education.
He has excellent podcasts that we tune into every week.
Keith is joined us here in Dallas all the way
from Anchorage, Alaska to come tour the Dallas market,
meet the American Real Estate Investments' team,
tour our areas where we invest in
and check out some great investment properties.
So for those of you that don't know about
Get Rich Education I'd like to introduce you to Keith
at this point and Keith why don't you let the audience
know a little bit about the podcast,
some of the topics that you cover
and why it's a good kind of show to check out.
- Yeah well thanks John and I appreciate being here
at American Real Estate Investments in Dallas.
My name is Keith Weinhold you might know me
because I'm the host of the Get Rich Education podcast
and own getricheducation.com where we use
an abundance mindset to invest in real assets
especially real estate for an outcome
of lifestyle improvement, not just more doors,
not just more income, not just more time
that that opens up but an outcome of lifestyle improvement
typically secured with real estate.
So I've had the good fortune to host Robert Kiyosaki
and most of the Rich Dad advisors on my show
and I'm a contributing writer
to the Rich Dad advisors myself
and I often provide content to you so we can really
help you build the passive income in your life
so you can live a life better than you ever thought
you could through Get Rich Education.
- So at this point let's get in the car let's go drive
around Dallas, check out the area
and then let's go check out some great properties.
How does that sound?
- Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
- Here we are at one of our investment properties
in Lancaster, Texas which is just south of Dallas.
It's about a 15 minute ride
into the central business district.
This is one of our recently completed homes.
We do a lot of homes like this here in Dallas.
It's a standard three bed two bath
just over 2,000 square feet.
This property was built in 2003 so it's generally
a newer built home.
The sales price on this home, it's already under contract.
These properties do move very quickly here in Dallas
on my acquisition side and on my sell side.
Once we get these homes
under American Real Estate Investments' ownership
we're already marketing them to our clients
and they're basically getting contracts in
and just waiting for the renovation to be done
so it's move in ready for a tenant.
But this home here will rent for 1550
and the net operating income per month
is just under $1000 at 985 so really really solid.
If you look at the neighborhood here Keith
I mean this is a really solid A class neighborhood.
You see a lot of newer built properties here.
It looks like people are taking care of their lawns.
You can tell this isn't just
a heavily renter type neighborhood,
you know investor owned neighborhood.
There's owner occupants in these neighborhoods as well.
That's where we really like to strategically buy.
That way we just feel like the investment ends up being
a lot safer for our investors.
The exit strategy is there, solid exit strategy.
You could easily sell any one of these homes on the MOS.
So that's why we really like to target neighborhoods
just like this.
- [Voiceover] Just tell us a little bit
about the renovations that were done in here.
- Yeah so pretty much a full cosmetic overhaul
on this property and that's what we're doing generally
with the newer built homes that we're getting.
Obviously this house was built in 2003.
You know there is no need to replace the roof
on this property, nothing structurally wrong with the home
so this property here obviously had a full cosmetic overhaul
which was paint, flooring.
If you look all the light fixtures, the fans,
everything is brand new.
- And it matches.
- Exactly, we want everything to match everything.
When a tenant comes in this house,
a perspective tenant we want them to kind of be wowed
like oh my gosh, everything's new everything looks good.
This way we can get the property leased quickly.
We can get it leased at top of market value,
obviously we want to command as much rent as we can
for our owners so the cash flow increases.
Yeah we do this epoxy coating on our kitchen counters.
Sometimes we'll buy our houses there's granite already
in place obviously we're going to leave that
but we're not necessarily going to put granite
in a rental property, it's a rental.
We want it to look nice but we don't want
to put in too many expensive high end finishes, right.
So we have a different color scheme that we'll use here
with this epoxy finish which kind of makes it
give it a feel of like a granite
but obviously not expensive like granite.
We did put carpet in the bedrooms.
You know the tenants do kind of like to have carpet
in the bedrooms they kind of prefer that.
We do like to use the plank when we can.
A majority of the plank because that stuff will
withstand more turnovers, right.
It's just a little more durable.
Carpet can tend to get dirty from time to time
and might only last two to three turnovers right at most.
(upbeat music)
We're in Seagoville right now which is actually
just east of where we were and southeast
to the city of Dallas.
We're a little bit farther out from the city.
I would say it's about 20 to 25 minute drive
into the city from here.
This is another kind of style of home
that we do here in Dallas.
- [Voiceover] You know the thing finds us here
in a place like Seagoville, Texas here
just southeast of the city center of Dallas.
You know that's because often times right
the inner city of Dallas is where we kind
of have that class D or low end C property.
- [Voiceover] Right.
- Where we just can't really even get a tenant
that will reliably pay the rent
and then also we don't want to go north of Dallas
because we're also on the other end there
right as I've found out from our visit here
because you might get the same rent amount
that you do in some of those homes
but the purchase prices extend to a much higher extent
such that it's not consonance anymore
like a property in Seagoville does.
- Exactly exactly so yeah we try and avoid the inner city
neighborhoods around the US.
It's just you're dealing with more distressed properties.
You're dealing with lower income earning tenants
which generally can set you up for a higher risk profile
and then also you're not going to have a professional
management company like in American Real PM
that's going to be willing to manage homes
and tenants like that and great point to touch on,
why we don't purchase in areas in the north like
if people are doing their research on Dallas
Plano's going to be an area that comes up in conversation
as a really really booming economy right now.
Lot of fortune 500 companies moving into that area.
Problem is just the property values up there are
just too high which also makes the property taxes higher
which can really negatively effect cash flow
but then also you know a 2,000 square foot home
in Plano or Frisco really doesn't rent for that much more
than a 2,000 square foot home in a Lancaster,
a Cedar Hill, a Seagoville, it's really quite funny
but that is the truth.
(upbeat music)
I really appreciate you coming out again.
Coming and checking out American Real Estate Investments,
staying a couple of days with us in Dallas.
I just kind of want to wrap things up
and just you know get your 10,000 foot view
on what you've seen here in Dallas
during your stay, what was your initial impression
of the market, and how do you feel
about the market as a whole?
- Yeah well it really starts with the market
and the market is really why we are here in Dallas today
standing with each other right now
so you know you're seeing a lot
of business friendly tax incentives
that continue to bring substantial fortune 500 companies
that continue to bring jobs and tenants
to provide durable streams of income for investors.
So besides the business friendly tax incentives
we have a very low cost of living and that's really
attracting both businesses and residents alike.
We also have a very central location in the United States
and that's really preferable to do business
as more and more companies do business across borders
and outside of time zones.
- Absolutely I mean that's why we moved
the company down here, that's why we've been in this market
since 2012 so great points that you brought up
and let's just take that into the actually investment
property itself, you know A class properties,
generally newer built homes.
What did you think, what was your impression
of the homes when you walked through them today.
Did you think they were high quality, you know
durable investment properties,
something that an investor isn't going
to have a ton of maintenance issues
or high capital expenditures
within the first five years of ownership.
- Yeah we have substantial renovations to the property
and I think the other thing that's really a market
differentiator in Dallas Fort Worth is
you typically have newer stock here, you know
a lot of these homes were built in the last 20 years or less
so you really have the type of home that's not going
to have nearly as many of the functional obsolescence
problems that you might have with some properties
in other markets.
You know and we're really seeing
an adequately staffed company that's really communicative
and really good on the outreach you know
for example you invited me down here
and you guys were also really good in your outreach
too as far as being transparent and attending events
and making yourselves very accessible
just like you did with me today.
- Absolutely, well I appreciate the kind words Keith
and we appreciate you coming down
and hey look forward to bringing you down again next time.
- Oh it's been a great trip thanks so much.
- Thank you.
