How about downloading some clever patsches and turning gore off n CS source, im sure it can be done, then perhaps they will let you go on it again.
I can't find any patches, only scripts, and they only let you take out either alien or human blood, and i'm only allowed to play in human vs. zombie cs: source games, and now my dad had a seizure on me once he saw that, too. Also, I'm not morman... Edit: which setting is the decals? Is it the texture setting?

Here's the conversation (for the most part, i may have messed up a tiny bit) Dad: "The whole concept of killing people is bad" Me: "But if I turn the blood off, it's just like me playing airsoft, isn't it" Dad:"No" Me; "Why not?" Dad: "Just having all those weapons at your disposal just doesn't sit well with me" Me; Well, that's exactly what i'm doing when I play airsoft. I shoot people with toy guns" Dad: It's just not the same" Me: Just give me one good reason why i can't play" :Dad: "I just don't like it." Me: Oh, ok, that's a really good reason. What am I supposed to do on my $1500 computer that I spent my hard-earned money on if I can't play good games that test the graphics capability?" Dad: "Isn't there other games that you like?" Me: "No." dad: well i don't want to argue, so no you can't play it." Me: "All I want is a reason why I can't play it!" Dad: I already said no."
 
what i dont get, is why dony you just re-download cs:source via steam. You dont need any cd's for that.
 
You are 14yrs. old

What is the ESRB rating for CS:S?

MATURE
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain mature sexual themes, more intense violence and/or strong language.

That is your dad's reasoning.
 
Rated M for blood and violence. If I turn the blood and gore off, then what is it rated? It would be the same as playing a virtual paintball game.

Accept that's not how it's done. They rate games by there most defining features. Games don't advertise the ability to disable features...they advertise the gore and blood and killing. If that's all your parents see...then that's all they will think of when they think of your game.

Sure you can dispute it, but who are they going to listen to, you or the people who actually made the game?
 
"Half Life 2 is a violent game with rampant death and blood. There is occasional obscenity, and perilous situations. The intensity of the situations, especially near the end of the game, can be somewhat overwhelming. But none of that goes beyond a PG-13 movie, or is much worse than Halo, which is also rated 'M', but commonly played by the 'T' crowd. I suggest parental discretion be used with this game when deciding on letting someone under 17 play - it is intense, and bloody, but nothing like Soldier of Fortune II or even Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines."

Not too convincing, but if you are allowed to watch PG-13 movies at your own whim then maybe they will let you play this game as well.
 
Wow. Rampant death and blood, OMG I'm killing aliens. Yes, there's blood, but it's definately not as bad as LOTS of the other "M" rated games out there. And what obscenity? oooh they said "Damn", the forbidden word! May you be cursed to eternal damnation in hell! And what scenes are "Overwhelming", especially near the game? That you have to kill the bad guy when he tries to escape? How is that "Overwhelming?" Just a few questions.
