  1. Funny, we were just doing this in Psychology lately! I believe that yes, there is a link. I'm not saying it's a strong one, but it's definately there. In psychology we're talking about how these games become 'role models' to little kids, and children at that age assimilate a lot of behaviour from the environment (the video-game). For example, imagine the kid playing GTA. They play this 'cool' dude talking in slang and stealing cars, and using those same cars to kill people, and then use all kind of weapons to beat people with. I feel like those little kids will think it's ok to do those because they see their 'role model' (the game dude) doing it. They also most probably learned of a myriad of ways on how to hurt someone, which is a skill that little kids should never learn Jokes apart, I repeat that for me there is definately a link, and even though in Psychology we said it cannot be the only cause for aggression to present itself in an individual (it could also be on genes or other behavioural feats), we all agreed that it certainly augments aggressive streaks. If I had a kid, I would personally do my best to not let him play those types of video-games until they were at least 12/13 as I believe at that age they really develop a responsible version of consciousness, and they're able to really divide reality from fiction (little kids seem to always think that everything is a game). Hope everything goes well
  2. I also remembered about Sonas Life as well
  3. Beautiful, can't wait for my little horsey to come out of its egg
  4. There's also Leporidae, Sonas Life, Torva Cattus, and Arrilio
  5. So I read this fantastical (don't tell my English teacher I used that word) book some years ago called (if I translate it correctly) 'The Kingdom of Silence' and it followed the adventure, or should I say lifetime, of an owl. Yes, lifetime. In one book. He dies. All very tragic really, he had happy memories as a chick, was quite excited when he matured and had to go live by himself, but then all kind of things started going wrong for him. AND, even after he survived a hunting, months captive in a zoo, and an actual war, even when he seemed to finally be content with a mate and chicks of his own, guess what happens? Yes, he dies. He was shot dead, bless him. I remember my 12 year old self crying my eyes out under the covers in the middle of the night trying my hardest not to choke too much because my sister was sleeping in the bunker bed beneath me. I know I might sound overdramatic XD, but I seriously think life in general would in the end be just a great disappointment. However hard you try, or whatever circumstances you overcome, I feel like in the end there will always be something ultimately dragging you down ;-;
  6. Thank you very much, more than happy to see this niche of gaming growing
