@lankist: Nobody is surprised with film, but that is a completely different beast. You are comparing apples and oranges.

@trunicated: Everything you said was my exact sentiment before reading elements of the bill I quoted. And from what I can tell, the cashier can not be held accountable by the law, only the store owner can.

@trunicated: I agree, but the only reason I would then is is because "most" stores do it, but "most" is a vague unit of measurement, and maybe all stores should enforce such rules and a law is the only way to make it happen.

"The Act does not prohibit a minor's parent or guardian from purchasing or renting such games for the minor"

@planetarian: Well I think you have me convinced. I played with the thing at E3 and my memory tells me it was a minor, minor touch darker when enabling the 3d, but that might be my memory playing tricks on me. My instinct is to think its either not displaying (or displaying black pixels) but the "bezel" notion…

@planetarian: I'm getting these figures from crazy brain theories.

I think the coolest thing about this article is Brendan really testing the boundaries of the game; running around trying to be adopted by the animals, that made me laugh. Really a great, lighthearted read and fun perspective.

Everyone should check out the California Extreme show going down next weekend in the SF bay area. If you like arcade and pinball games, this is a must.

@planetarian: I agree with everything you are saying. The framerate isn't getting split, but different pixels are drawing at different times.

The 3DS is already running 60 fps; 30 are going to one eye, and 30 are going to the other. When you slide the 3d to "off" the system obviously runs at 60 frames a second. There is no extra performance the hardware could glean from not using 3d because it already accounts for it in all instances.

Man, a lot of people responded to this. Hey, try what Stephen said and read the whole thing, it is a little deeper than the excerpt (but I still think it's rad so many people feel so strongly either way). Here is a taste of what you missed:

@BigManMalone: Well I can't claim to be an expert on Native Americans, but I am pretty sure not all of the tribes were "wrong" as you broadly put it.

@George Filby: Nope. I actually played through the entire thing not shooting anyone just to see what would happen if I didn't. It didn't really affect me in any way, strangely, even after having a gun pointed at me in a holdup. Overall my experience with the buffalo/achivement incited more introspective thinking…

@clever epithet: I think you worded my sentiment far better than I did. Kudos.

Thanks for the link, Stephen. I am now Kotaku published. :)

I agree about the new WW2 point.

@undeadmouse: it is part of the point of the article, the other part being raising awareness for consumers. and i followed the links to find a website with info and an email that gets sent out saying "i will buy your products if you stop doing this." so they will be getting an influx of opposition I am sure.

@undeadmouse: Well I think there is more to it than just voting with your wallet. There needs to be a statement attached. If you stop buying products from a company and they go out of business, what good did that serve anyone? If you stop buying and say why you stopped buying then they are given an incentive to…

These games aren't pushing the boundaries of reality, (mostly) they are systematically mimicking the events of fun action movies and putting the person inside such events. They are glorified accounts of the same things the fun action movies are based on. But I don't know a single person in my own life who isn't…
