last night I fired eight pendants, 3 came out excellent, 1 was a bomb, 2 were "ok" but not good enough for anyone else, and the other two were fine. I need to do some research on wire. Sometimes it behaves how I want, or, rather, the glass behaves around it how I want, others, not so much. I brought in my pieces and I will visit the local glass ( Read more... )

Maybe this is the future of ethical instruction. After years of playing games in which making bad choices is actually made distasteful, kids will be habituated to avoiding them, and go out into the real world where bad choices are not necessarily distasteful, yet not even know it!

I hope you are correct, and it doesn't go the opposite way, that they are desensitized to them.

Well the real problem is that I'm surprised to hear how KOTR works, since most games actually make the "bad" choices more exciting and interesting.

Although I actually don't think it's a signfiicant problem. I think the malicious effects of video games, etc., are over estimated.

oh ,it is exciting, it is interesting. I'm just a softie, my reactions are perhaps extreme. It's me, not the game.

I'll be sure, if I ever have a droid, to leave it in your care when I die, knowing you'll care so well for it.

They do let you know when you are being bad ,but that is what is so interesting. Depending on your badness, and how you are bad, you can bring your group members to the dark side with you, influencing their character arcs, too.

Different things happen as a result. Which is why I want to play bad, and another character good...you miss a lot of the game by playing only one way. I just have a very strong sense of morality, so when they make droids be sad when you scrap other droids, for example....it gets to me.
Yes, instead of an old lady with cats, I'll have droids!
