I'm pretty sure they couldn't make it too "dark and mature" (no realistic violence) because it IS a Zelda game. That's one of those Nintendo IPs that they seem to want to keep accessible to many. For that same reason, they wouldn't make the combat system too complex It'd probably still be close to Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess.

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"]Has a significant traumatic event happened in your life recently? If not then you do not have PTSD. worlock77

Traumatic events do not have to have happened recently for one to have PTSD. And you should probably leave the psychiatric diagnosis's to a licensed psychiatrist.

This. The trauma can be something that happened long ago but is still bugging the person on a certain level. However, @TC you do need to talk to your therapist (licensed psychiatrist or psychologist/counsellor) about this. It may help if you bring it up during a session and discuss whatever issue it is. Just opening up about it in a personally safe environment may be a huge step to recovery from it.

note i said"personally safe environment."

A public internet forum is not that because we are anonymous posters and you open yourself up to the possibility of bullying. Your friends/relatives may not be that if the issue affects them. Your therapy session is the safest place where you can explore that personal issue, and possible coping solutions.

Realize too that most psychiatric and emotional disturbances are not acute illnesses, they are less likely to be completely cured even if you know exactly what you are dealing with and have the perfect tools to fix it. Even with all that, you will need good maintenance, great support, a safe environment and your own willpower and commitment to get better and stay okay.

I don't have a fancy gaming headset but i personally find even my simple stereo headphones more immersive than big fancy surround sound setups. 1.) The sound does not have to compete with real world ongoing sounds for my eardrum. 2.) when done well, the auditory illusions can really mess with one's head (like the "cetera algorithm" demo with the shaking moving box of matches) they really should use that more in movies/music/games. 3.) don't know bout the rest of you but i only have 2 ears (no offense to any Van Gogh out there) so 2 sound sources should be immersive enough

This thread was the nudge that made me fall off the ledge i was teetering over: it made me get a copy of Metroid Prime 3 this weekend and I must say it is just awesome. I still do wish I could find the Wii versions of the previous 2.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"] Ditto, you'd think someone with a doctrine wouldn't do something like that, goes to show going to college doesn't exactly make you smarter.

I've known many doctors who've done some pretty stupid and immature things.

It was very unethical (but legal) for her to even have him as a patient in any capacity (except emergency cases) because of her close personal relationship (history) with him. It was also very unwise for him to seek treatment from her after dumping her. If HE were the dentist and SHE were the patient who had dumped him, it would still be a case of Unethical Doctor / Unwise Ex.

Some older games had an interesting way of doing this in that you had 2 main characters, a male and a female. The stories played out a bit differently based on which you chose, other characters you met would interact differently, and the female lead characters were not exaggeratedly feminine (both physically and emotionally). Particularly good examples of this are (1) Resident Evil 2, and (2) Tenchu Stealth Assassins

Gotta love all this "Useless twisting of our new technology." Her story's strange enough, but if she has surgery on her reproductive parts to make herself more anatomically like a Barbie doll, THEN there's a line into a whole other world of weird, unethical stuff that gets crossed.

what is wrong with me pc-ps360
Oh no, you are securely playing games that you personally enjoy (on a variety of systems). People must think you immature for liking nintendo games. Well, maybe if you fall for peer pressure, become insecure in what you play, and impulsively harass other people over their personal tastes THEN you'll be M Mature17+ in their eyes... If you like Halo, play Halo, if you like Mario, play mario. If you like em both, I hope you have time to play them both. Be a gamer, not a pleaser.

The sad times will be there, but they'll pass a bit easier than they would if you still saw her around. Do well at the academy, keep your good friends close. Keep your heart and mind open. You'll probably do fine, mostly. You sound like a good guy. If you are, I hope you don't compromise that for anything or anyone.
