Tolkien's elves are "High Elves" (as opposed to Keebler type tiny elves). They are based on the Sidhe ("shee") of Celtic mythology.

My issue isn't whether kids understand the difference between games and RL. My issue is that I don't like the thought of my nephews being trained to think its fun to even PRETEND to do the horrible things in games like GTA. And frankly if I had a BF who thought it was fun to pretend to do...

A doctor does both - here's a pain pill to help you with the symptoms, I'll find a way to cure you in the meantime. The census is NOW. No one is going to get the government to stop even worrying about religion NOW. I agree that governments should not be involved in religion. When the U.S. was...

You're right, it shouldn't matter. But it does matter. People who write in Jedi are actually doing the opposite of what most of them want. They are saying that they are religious which results in the government giving more weight to religions in general (but not to Jedis which would be...

This. Most people who argue that video games are art don't understand what art is. Art=\=good.

I'm trying to figure out what everyone means by "protectionist". Is that like when I build a store and stock it and put locks on the door and a security system linked to the police? Cause I think that people who protect their own stuff are what I would call "smart". But somehow I don't think...

I played TT D&D before I played video games and have continued playing TT games of various sorts throughout my gaming career. It is unfortunate that your introduction to TT gaming was so lackluster. My experiences have almost always been great because I was playing with a group of friends and we...

Race will stop being a big deal in video games (and in other venues) when racial representation is more in line with Real Life and racial stereotypes are not the majority of that representation.

WOW, LOL. I really hope you're 12 cause I really would not want to know you if you're an adult.

So now that we're not allowed (in the Western world) to keep people of certain races as property or discrimitate against them when they apply for something we're done? You honestly think everything else is fine? Wow, ok. K, not understanding this one: He's so vain that he see's other people as...

That's actually not what he's saying at all. He's saying that little attempt is being made to create diversity. And I agree. But I don't believe in most cases that its prejudice, I think its laziness or following the path of least resistance.

I edited the Title to be more descriptive. Well I'm hopeful that since these subjects are at least being explored - if not as far as I'd like - that the game I'd love will eventually be made :)

This comment from Shamus Plays Champions got me thinking: "Look, I'm sorry buddy. I just can't help you. Well, I mean... I could. There's a gurney right over there. You'd be way better off if you were on that thing. And some medical gear. You'd have a much better chance if I could hand you...

Not going to have a gravestone... :)
