You can't export Minecraft creations into real life though. If you want a free Lego Builder then go for Lego Digital Designer: http://ldd.lego.com/ It's more of a CAD program than a game, but it has a good selection of blocks. The only thing missing is a lot of the more exotic blocks aren't...

Even two people who are victims of the same act will react differently to it. I recall when I was taking a class on helping victims of natural disasters, they emphasized that we should never say "I understand what you're going through". Because not only does it sound patronizing, but also b/c...

You gentlemen do know what "per capita" means don't you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate (Okay it's PER 100k individuals for the wiki site, but same diff)

(Passes a flame shield). Here you're going to be needing this more than me. Asking whether it's more evil to be a rapist, a murderer, or say, someone that pushes destitute farmers off their land to watch their children die of malnutrition slowly is difficult and ultimately pointless. I'd rather...

Dude, the Rape of Nanking happened 60 years ago. While we should always remember, we must also acknowledge that the sins of previous generations should not extend to the current generation. I mean, between 70 and 40 years ago, the ethnicity I came from probably killed upwards of 50 million...

This is going to be tricky to explain, but what would showing offense do other than just "showing offense"? I think media knows that people love things that illicit an emotion, including "offense". This is why there's numerous nontroversies that get national attention, even though their real...

I'm skeptical, when you stated it in general terms instead of personal experience. Gaming is not something readily visible like ethnicity or gender. Among people we all interact with, knowing if someone plays games is not easy to discern. In addition, there's a degree of self-selection on...

SSBB is the WWE of the video game world: Loud, dramatic, and a fighter know much more for its big names than its fighting system.

What I'm wondering right now is why it was decided to use The Clash version of "I Fought the Law" instead of the Bobby Fuller original in the Assassin's Creed Review, but to use the original version of "A Little Less Conversation" by Elvis instead of the JXL remix.
