I love that this site has a comic series. I hope Nick can convince Matt to do it again.

Lol. There are enough studies that prove a strong correlation or short-term effects for me to accept that violent media can have an effect on the brain and encourage an increase in violent behavior for a short period of time, but as far as this having anything to do with it or GTA being responsible for murderers ... yeah, no, I'm with you there. 

You can't scientifically prove causation, at least not with any method I know of, between media and certain behaviors, only strong correlations from which you can infer it. Most of the strong links have been shown in experimental research, which is problematic, since that research takes place in a lab and not a fully real-life setting by definition. I think if you were to do a longitudinal study study that asked if people who grew up in my gen watching Power Rangers vs. people who grew up watching Leave it to Beaver, you'd see that those in my gen did have more aggressive thoughts and actions overall, but not having conducted or read a study like that, I can't say for sure. 

Sorry to get all scientific, but media research like what you kind of alluded to is the focus of my Master's degree. 

Gotcha, I will do that, thanks!

Sweet, I'll check those out! I want to make a comic series myself sometime. This place just keeps getting better and it didn't even change this time. lol

Yeah, it would be either that, or I'd have an Indiana Jones "fuck this I have a gun" moment. Hopefully, my decision wouldn't be influenced by dysentery, like it was in that case. lol 

What was it exactly? I've just been linking to that with my Zelda-related blogs recently. I'll check it out later. I'm still wanting to go through all of Tour de 64. Speaking of which, for long-lasting features like that, MIA, etc., it'd be cool to have dedicated pages for them with an archive of entries in those series, I think. There's tons of great content on here from before I joined. 

Lol, I think there are probably a few people like this guy who go to cons and have at least toy replicas. 

Same here on Looper. 

Yeah, it's insane how many calories are packed into some things. A small piece of chocolate can run you 20-50 calories. I mean like a single Hershey's Kiss is in that range. 

I still need to buy and play City, but this sounds awesome for when I have a PS4. 

Those anchors played it straight, but they knew what they were doing.  - laughing so hard it hurts. lol

Hahahaha I wonder what the gf's name is. Only way this gets better is if money was in that flower pot. LMAO
