I don't like that little gleeful voice in the back of my head over this, but it's still there. All that said, I'm not disagreeing with anything you say. I mean, hell, when we say realism there's a lot of focus on graphics, and once upon a time Final Fantasy 7 and its pixel people were cutting...

I can't agree more. I think the difference between a game like Doom (and I know this is my opinion, doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things) and a game like Grand Theft Auto is the relative realism, and that Doom stopped at shooting things. With Grand Theft Auto you're exposing children...

I think it's a little too far, BUT as a man working in the early years sector, I'm telling you: There's nothing so chilling as hearing a 3 year old casually make references to things they've seen in Grand Theft Auto, and no I'm not kidding. This is going too far- lord knows I was playing Vice...

I used to write fanfiction, though I was never great at finishing them! Maybe a year or three ago I started writing my own material,and self-published to amazon a while after. It's always great to see threads like this, since its crazy how often I see threads putting down fanfiction and its...

Quality control's an issue here, sure. Certainly you would hope that these writers have the pride in their work to ensure it's properly proofread, edited and so on and so forth. I totally get why some people aren't willing to wade through all the rubbish to find the gems- though I like to think...

I feel like I've got to defend the self-published route here as well, from the perspective of someone giving it a good go. See, I'm also sending work to agents and publishers, but as has already been said getting published is hard. To me it makes more sense to give things like Amazon Kindle a...

My parents are very for the whole thing, one of those few issues they agree on, and it's all about the discipline once again. Now naive as it is, I really think we should be at the point where our military (EVERYONE'S) should be getting dialled down on, not added too. That, of course, is in...

Brothers and sisters fight all the time, it happens and yeah, it gets let go. You see a pair of kids fighting when you're out, one hits another, you'd tell their parents if they were present but maybe not get involved otherwise, not unless it was something serious. Now if you see an adult...

I don't fee; superior to TV watchers in anyway, it's just an interesting trend I noticed that I and a few people I know have gotten into. It of course comes down to what you watch- the programming I mostly consume (in general) is youtube stuff, reviews and so on, stuff I can't see on TV...

So, long time lurker occasional poster here, but I thought the escapist might enjoy this. This webseries is a set of shorts (about 5 mins long a piece, maybe?) and about half hour's worth all in all, I think. I gave it a watch when browsing around and found it rather amusing...

I wish I could say, Silvanus, but like I said I haven't seen this most recent series yet, so the show's take on Prince Martell is also lost on me for now. What I find really interesting here is that I don't care about the `rape` itself one way or another, since it and similar atrocities all...

Star wars: Knights of the Old Republic . Loved that game and indeed the series, up to and including the MMO which I played for a short time but yeah, it just ended and it seemed like they had forgotten to put the ending on.

I haven't unfortunately seen this series yet, but that just isn't the case in the books, which is a shame. I think so far the changes in the show have been good, and made sense for compressing it to a television series (mostly) but that change....damn. It'd a bad one. If Jamie had raped...

You know, this thread is actually genuinely upsetting to me- not just because of the aforementioned working with kids, but because....really guys? I get someone not wanting to be a parent and would never judge anyone for living their life the way they want to- I even get that some people just...

I can't disagree with this enough. Rather than getting into a long back and forth though I'd remind you that children need to acquire that `necessary sense of self` through interaction with the adults in their life. Unfairly judging sociopaths or psychopaths is an entirely different thing as you...
