    Army sends D&D playing soldiers to the shrinks...

    Well, yeah. Basic training is resocialization. It is basically "brainwashing." During basic, you're completely isolated from the rest of the world. You're worked off sleep deprivation, mental, verbal, and physical abuse. If you don't meaure up, they recycle you until you do.

    Army sends D&D playing soldiers to the shrinks...

    Well..it started from basic sociology. It's proven science that the younger you are, the easier you are to socialize. It's why there's an age cap on basic training. They need younger minds so it will be easier to resocialize them.

    Army sends D&D playing soldiers to the shrinks...

    To tell you the truth, I think the Israeli military is very correct in their handling of the situation. Military training is complete and utter re-education. When you go through basic, they break you down, and then build you back up according to their standards. Their is absolutely no room...

    Horror Films- What works and what doesn't

    Well..Scream has the added benefit of horrible acting, a stupid plot, and David Arquette. As for movies like Alien...I dunno, they're just not what I think of when I think "Horror." I guess I'd label them more as Scifi Suspense films. In both of those movies, it was less frightening because...

    Horror Films- What works and what doesn't

    I meant more in terms of the frightening factor. Pure scare and terror films. The more realistic people think the movie is, the more they think something like that could actually happen. That's what makes a movie stick with people. It's why The Ring and The Grudge did so well...people...

    The Conan O'Brien Show

    I do enjoy the joy quite a bit. I'm actually going to see a show in May. Conan's also apparently a nice guy in person, out of his show, although not as funny. One of my sister's friends has a beach house next to his, and that's what they say about him at least. He really needs the...

    Horror Films- What works and what doesn't

    Horror films work well if there is absolutely ZERO cgi. The less "visual" the horror elements in a film are, the more believable they become. Take "The Grudge." for example. Some simple blood effects, etc worked fine. When that stupid looking shadow cgi hovered over that old woman, however...

    More Fo3/VB goodies

    Buon Compleanno, vecchio! :) Concept art...meh. Anyone can draw up some pictures. What I really like to see are those in-game screen shots. The way the engine looks, is patterened, etc could not only serve us as eye candy, but could also lend cues to the guys at Bethesda.

    free speech left behind in US high schools

    Represent. Damn straight. Also, pretty much all public education below university level in the United States is just bad.
