I have to disagree with the writer on one aspect. He's quite right that it forms a divergent experience - people's upbringings and history with sex tends to be more widely varied than in the example of violence. BUT, that is not universal nor undivergent either. People who have survived...

Ultimately, save scumming is less the problem and more of a symptom of a problem. If games were designed with better death mechanics, then players might be more prone to living with those errors in judgement Take Skyrim for example - when you die in Skyrim you are sent back to the menu...

Set up the conditions to tunnel to a lower vacuum energy and cause a vacuum meta-instability event, instantly annihilating not only Earth, but taking out the entire universe in the same deal. Don't get much better value-per-omnicide than that.

Alas, there is a tragedy mixed in with Titanfall's PC release... It's on Origin, which to many gamers (me inclusive) means it may as well be console exclusive; because it's dead to me, and it'll be a cold day in hell before I sign up to EA's plans to RFID chip/barcode/track all PC gamers on...

If nothing else, if you lose in PvP, that's one clan that'll never teabag you. /bah dumsh

Unfortunately my experiences with actual soldiers as human beings have not been good ones. Three people I know in my school (two of whom regularly bullied me) went on to join the army. One of them now has PTSD due to some incident, the other is now in prison for rounding up and beating up...

Unfortunately historically the results have been quite the opposite In many cases where developers have pulled support for games with server side components their response has been to simply gut the game in order to stop people playing it so much and to force them to migrate to newer games...

And they wonder why the younger generation rebel against and distrust the police. My only direct experience with the police has been poor too; I'd accidentally sat on my train ticket which'd creased it and the machine reader at the end of the train station wouldn't accept it. When I plead my...

There's a lot of elite clones out there, not least the up coming X: Rebirth. They'll have to put a lot more on the table than some unbacked promises. We want to see sub-orbittal flight, gravitational mechanics and all these other things that Elite had but were omitted in it's clones, while...

Being late 20's now I can look back and say I've already changed my stance on past topics... mostly in bad ways. But, change nonetheless. I don't doubt future experiences will make me change stances again. I'm always open to hearing other people's points of view and, have even been swayed by...

"No" It's really that simple. Speciation is when species become separately distinct enough that breeding is impossible. The difference between human races are akin to breeds not species, like you see in dogs or pidgeons. Visually, perhaps even behaviourally different, but still a pidgeon...

Are you being willfully ignorant of the fact most these statistics are measured in quantified units, such as "per 100,000 people"? - The rate is higher no matter how you cut it; but yes as you say culture is a lot to do with it and is why the arguement is never as simple as "ban all guns"...

How come I'm not seeing anyone bring up the point of availability. Take for example a husband comes home, finds his best friend in bed with his wife... OH SHI- he's seeing red. In a country where firearms are not a typical household item, the offending gentleman is likely to get a punch in...

tl;dr - Both extremes have potential for being duped by a clever dungeon master into doing bad things; the lawful good paladin by lumbering him with a covertly evil authority figure who he protects by duty. A chaotic good rogue may be tricked into undermining a government body that overtly looks...

Braid - the climax of the final level is like. D: "Did... not... see that coming"
