	Hey, don't blame the researchers. Blame the sensationalizing media, politicians, and other people who distort science for their own nefarious purposes.

	This was hilarious. Also, I'd totally fork over cash for "Revenge of the Blood Resistance". You can't go wrong with such an awesome title.

civver commented on: The Top 7... trendy game-design crutches
	I have issues with #5 and 3. I doubt a high percentage of the games out there use #5. And what is so wrong with number 3? I doubt there are a lot of games that play it straight with the genre delineations. And a game's genre doesn't specify whether it is good or bad anyway. I'd even argue that using just one genre may be lazier.

	There's a lot of stuff contradicting other stuff. You prefer the Japanese Trauma Center cover, the one with the multitude of characters, over the simple American design. And then a succeeding section goes on praising how Japanese cover art is simpler. What the hell?

	Very good, interesting article. Dugg. Too bad I don't care (and still don't care) for some of the games here. Adding COD4 was a bit of a stretch for me. Both of it techniques weren't really that original. It's good, but not really influential.

civver commented on: Dumb things your folks say about games
	I've got a lot to comment on here. This was a great article, btw. Dugg. Let's begin. "They won't help your career" That's asking for all entertainment to be abolished. "Misunderstanding the technology" I've heard that way too many times. And it's not just with video games, pretty much all technology. They believe anything will explode or malfunction if kept on a long time, disregarding the quality control procedures that ensure they won't do that, and the amount of lawsuits that would occur if common household appliances did that. "Worrying you're addicted" Sure, like there aren't any worse recreational habits. Sigh. "Thinking games are for kids" Thankfully, I've not heard that from my parents. They understand ratings, and the limitations of ratings. But others still have that point of view. It's annoying "Games are too violent" Sure, and the movies you watch and the news you get isn't. Where's that graph with the declining murders against violent video game releases? "Getting names wrong" I'm happy my parents don't.
