Things I learned from the ESRB ()

"Finger shooting" is a reference to doing a line of cocaine, even when it's clearly meant in the innocuous "pointing your finger and going 'bang' at someone" way.

"Pablo Escobar" is foul language.

Pixies, fairies, harpies, and other mythical beings are okay, as long as they're not on crack.

Pablo Escobar was a famous Columbian drug lord, responsible for a large portion of the cocaine imported into the USA in the 1980s, the assassinations of three Columbian presidential candidates, and the invention of the Columbian Necktie.

No idea why his name would be considered a dirty word, though.

We got the T rating anyway though. Just barely, and provided that we remove a few lines. Very Happy

Getting there, though Nintendo decided at the last minute to update the SDK (which is a pretty big and complex download/install) and that all submissions made on or after October 12 need to use that latest version, so right now I'm scrambling to upgrade everything while running on only half an hour of sleep since 7:30 AM yesterday.

What's a good alternative phrase for "finger shooting"?

No, that's worse.
