There are studies which indicate that below a certain age, children don't really have the psychological development to think about the consequences of their actions ("how might this action negatively affect other people," for example). Below this age, the specifics of which I have forgotten, it...

I've got a weird one. I got a dvd for a birthday one year. Tenacious D Complete Master Works, it was called. It was meant to contain their HBO show, a live concert, a couple of music videos and some extra stuff. However, the 2nd disc of the 2 disc set was somehow - somehow - a Bruce Springsteen...

Zeno Clash is good. Well-designed first-person melee combat with blocks and counters and things, and a pretty unique aesthetic.

Guys, drop the pointy sticks and back away from the nice people in the white coats. They didn't actually claim to have proven that you don't feel moral guilt and therefore are bad. There's been no demonstration that the so-called experienced gamers were also desensitized to displays of actual...

This is definitely a point. It's kinda the same thing with the Avengers doing so well with a mainstream audience. There must have been a time when that seemed pretty implausible. Of course, superhero media had to go through a number of transitional phases before they got to the point of the Dark...

Dark Elf mage. Lord Voldemort. Too bad I can only power my magic items with other people's souls, but close enough.

I don't like this 'yawn, Trope X has already exceeded its quota of uses in popular culture and therefore is now boring' attitude I'm seeing. Yeah, some ideas have been used a lot by now, but try actually engaging with the material. There might be some new ideas in there.

Everything I say on threads is a lie.

I would just like to say how hilarious it would be if a reporter saw this and thought you really are Justin Bieber.

I think this guy's got it. It would just be gratuitous.

Darkfall here. I'm gonna get ganked.

So you're after games where the difficulty doesn't come from defeating enemies? I suppose the main genre for that would be Simcity-style ones, where you're building something with a limited budget, trying to appease citizens/customers, that sort of thing. Maybe try Tropico 3. It's in the same...

Any slash fiction writers who happen to be reading this, please get started immediately on 'Sex and Arkham City'. That would probably be hilarious. Slightly more on-topic, Catwoman was one of the original "let's let some of the female characters be self-capable and independent" things, wasn't...

I think this is a little off. Working with limited information, of course, but it sounds like the kid's life has gone seriously downhill and he wanted a bit of pleasure. To use your analogy, it was probably more like stealing a steak because you don't like the tasteless gruel you're forced to...

That's exactly what I meant when I was talking about fun.
