what do you do? Anything that makes me hit the exhaustion wall seems to be the most helpful.

The thing that helped me the most to break out of erratic sleep cycles was regular exercise. try doing something to get your heart rate up at a consistent time everyday and do it to the point that you feel physically exhausted (I know this is easier said than done, I fall off the band wagon all the time). The relief…

a lot of advertising is just socially approved bullying. As I get a little older it makes me realize why some people move to smaller communities. I mean, I can't handle being in times square (or most of manhattan) anymore. All I notice are all the ways advertisers are trying to make me feel like shit.

it sure fucking does. so much advertising is based on exploiting peoples sense of inadequacy. it's disgusting.

Its nice to hear about them. we all help each other when we share our struggles.

you can talk to us dude. or we can just play a game online or whatever.

At the low points of my struggle I lost the ability to tell which emotions were genuine and which emotions I was faking so I could still function in society.

aww thanks buddy. You just made my day.

That happened a lot as trade expanded in antiquity. Advances in shipping technology lead to all sorts of interesting mythological remixing. My favorite is the temple of Artemis at Ephesus http://www.ancient.eu.com/a…

check out Kotaku's list of great 3DS games. http://kotaku.com/the-12-be… As for different playing experiences I suggest you give a Professor Layton or a Phoenix Wright game a shot. If you love logic puzzles you will love those games.

This made my day. Thanks John.

I'm pretty sure that most gameological commentators are 22+, but ultimately that doesn't matter, right? We have established a thoughtful tenor to our discussions, so who cares how old we are? I mean, @Fluka:disqus is a cat, and she is one of the most insightful commentators around.

Device 6 is also fantastic and a brilliant utilization of ipad features.

I've do improv and I think you are right, but it would be tricky. One of the most important aspects of improv is establishing spontaneity and intimacy between the audience and the performers. Everyone understands that the performance is a truly spontaneous creative generation and the performers are reacting moment by…

Life is weird like that. I'm happy you found yourself in a better place.

Hi internet friends. I'm curious about the demographics of our lovely little community, so I wonder: How has the 2008 financial crisis affected you?

me too

I think Majora's Mask is one of the most mature games ever made. Every character is dealing with the inevitability of their own death.
