This entry is in response to an issue I am always hearing about, namely that video gamers have no life or that video-gaming is a negative, non-intelligent activity that not only isolates, it also de-sensitizes

Haha, I also love violent films! I guess I'm a weird girl that way..but films like "Sweeney Todd" or "No Country for Old Men"...or even this Korean movie called "Oldboy" (that movie is super, super violent, but very intelligent at the same time) I love them.
And I think that the whole video games cause violence is really just a way for parents to pass off responsibility for taking care of their kids. Parents definitely can't complain if they are the ones getting kids the games.
I can't imagine buying a little kids Manhunt or GTA. It's just dumb. You teach your kids about violence and what is acceptable in real life vs. a game, and then when they are older and understand, they can play those games. The problem is, alot of parents are lazy and don't talk to their kids about morals and such. They just leave them to figure out what's right and wrong on their own. Not such a good idea.
Anyway, I can't believe you are on the final battle! Good luck! Now you are motivating me to play again. I never got past the fourth dungeon...I just hated the Temple of the Ocean King that much. Why oh why do you have to replay all the older levels? And wah, time challenges...I do suck at those.:)
