Just here for the pie

Video games gained mainstream popularity in the 1990's and now we're living in the least violent era of history. Coincidence? I think not.

wth is starcraft

If video games truly caused violence, I think it would've stopped after people realized ragdoll physics doesn't exist in real life.

As for posting this on a gamer forum:

Wow, let's play softball right?

No let's not talk to a psychologist who specializes in studying this, let's talk to the editor of some gaming thing. Wat.

No violent video games have been shown repeatedly not to cause aggressive behavior by several valid scientific studies.

It's just something for politicians to point fingers at so they can cover up the real issues. Like how privacy is being stripped away from us or the fact free speech zones exist.

It is always nice to hear all points of view, and I think Adam Sessler was the perfect candidate for the gamers' side.
He is quite the nerd and has great charisma.

10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down

Although it's a liberal-leaning site (which may make the interpretation biased), the facts, if they are true, are interesting.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
