Doesn't mini-Godzilla = regular sized Iguana?

I take a break from a nice little COD sesh, hop on Giz to check in on the world, AND THIS IS WHAT I FIND?! SOME QUACK SCIENTIST TELLING ME THAT VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES ARE MAKING ME MORE AGGRESSIVE! HOW 'BOUT I COME OVER THERE TO YOUR LITTLE SCIENCE SHACK AND RIP YOUR THROAT OUT AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHO IS BECOMING MORE…

Oh man! When the screen fades in and you find yourself playing the first level of MGS, that was magic for me. It made me want to put down the controller and boot up my PSone that instant. I didn't want it to end.

I was thinking the same thing. They could/should have had another group playing a non-violent game, or doing some other sort of menial, low cognitive task for ten hours to get a better idea if it was the task or the "violence" causing the change.

On the contrary. I understand the point of the software, an attempt to evaluate pictures based on factors which are consistent with what most people would consider as pleasing, such as the golden rule, contrast, symmetry, etc.

"I GOT TONE!"

While I am in my early 20's and thus not too far removed from me teenage years, I understand your point that tastes and perspectives change. But even so, the fact still remains that the way I view the world is my own no matter what that opinion might be at the time, and it is the responsibility of no one other than…

In terms of artistic work, no.

Who is to tell me if a picture is good or not, besides my eyes?

In the words of Larry David:

I think they actually already have something like that, it's called a...

I just got really depressed after realizing that I will never get a chance to ride this.

I like the way the potato represents humanity, set against the doldrums of society.
