I agree in part, but I can't agree with the argument that violence in art doesn't affect our perception of violence in real life. I mean, if the treatment of sexuality in games can affect our attitude towards sex, why do we insist that the same isn't true of violence? Sex and violence are our two most primal urges,…

You're right, there is. However, would you agree that art (including video games) can influence individual and societal thought processes and attitudes?

Now, hold on. Yeah, these don't cause anyone to do anything, but if we want video games to be considered art, then we have to accept that they can affect us. That's what art DOES. We can't have it both ways.

Agreed. Hell, I didn't even go to combat, but my experiences in the worst unit ever managed to give me PTSD. I felt for Floyd and his family there, since I can be the sweetest, most loving person one second and then, when the wrong button is pressed, I turn into a monster. Completely irrational, aggressive,…

All the cruelties and discriminations (sic) that happen in the name of Islamophobia? Yeah, those are really a serious problem here in the states.

Because while Zelda being playable would be great too, Link is one of those rare true gender-neutral characters. Making him female changes next to nothing, which is why it's so baffling that Nintendo hasn't even attempted it yet.

My girlfriend had CF. I know what a daily struggle it is. Two years ago, she was so depressed that she was going to kill herself the "lazy way" by just stopping her treatments. I saved her life, dragging her to the hospital when she started turning blue one day. We weren't dating yet either. When she called her…

I live in an all-white Southern city...though, that's not because of Cleetus and Bubba. It's more because of Biff and Chad. Or, alternately, Moonbeam and Two Eagles (who is 1/24th Cherokee).

I know!

So he's on the market! I mean, grr...manly stuff! One Direction sucks!

You got to hang out with an attractive woman. That is getting something out of it. You might not have been getting everything you expected, but did you enjoy the time you spent with her? Does the fact she didn't share your interests and didn't want to actually be your girlfriend change any of that? No! It may change…

See, an even more mature perspective would be to think about how even if she wasn't interested in you that way, and didn't share your interests, you were at least getting something out of the relationship. Is not the company of, and conversation with, an attractive woman a reward unto itself?

See, here's my question. It goes along with the whole "fake geek girl" thing:

"This is exploiting the female body!"

Her spine, internal organs...that sort of trauma would just destroy her. And most versions are actually an edited version. The full original version of the scene has him hitting her against the tree SIX TIMES. Jason only starts to look fatigued on like the fifth one, and the sleeping bag starts filling with blood as…

LOL! Yes. That would be awesome. Instead of them just standing there swaying, they get a second wind, unleash a few more attacks (could be unique for each character). Then a beat. Then the uppercut.

I wonder what Jason's fatalities will be. I hope they reference some of his best movie kills. My favorite is the sleeping bag from 7. It has no finesse, no setup, nothing but brutality and inhuman strength. Jason at his most savage, and it was awesome.

The earth is the water and ice cubes. The atmosphere is the glass.

Yes and no. This is representative, not to scale, so sometimes up and down can represent other directions, with the main focus being showing how things connect. The world is very vertical though, as most of it is built into the side of a very tall mountain, with the gods and last surviving dragon at the top, all the…

"I need another Long Island. And make this one goooood. I couldn't taste any alcohol in the last one," she told her.
