First ZeroAX, let me just say that I really appreciate it when I see people seriously contemplate the potential for truly affective concepts and decisions in this medium.

There's alot of talk about escapism in this thread... I'm not sure if this rejection to experience art which is "depressing" comes from a thoroughly-contemplated personal philosophy or simply from a misunderstanding of the purpose of communicating ideas in this way. The idea is not simply to "remind" the player about negative things in the world, it is to provide them with A.) a more intricate understanding of a matter, or access to more nuanced perspectives of it, and/or B.) (characteristically potent in video games), an arena in which to dynamically explore one's personal perspective on the matter, and/or (as is commonly hoped for in art) C.) provide an ultimately constructive reason for which to have subjected the audience through any negative experiences brought forward in the piece.

This is part of a longer post, but this was my favorite part of it, paricularly point B.

Ok guys, enough jokes. Noise is still a mod, Yoshi is not banned, TR2013 is still go, Spacebooger is still Batman, and Dsh is still Dsh and not Lord of Duct.
