  Actually, more than anything what you describe as "mature" is actually 
quite juvenile.  It's no different than frying hamsters in the microwave or 
being an obsessive 14-year-old who really thinks he has a shot at getting a 
Playboy girl.

  But how many toddlers do you know say this: "okay, we have to install a 
modem at this computer terminal.  Cover me, and use your silenced PPK - we 
don't want to attract attention."  Just because people aren't bleeding 
profusely in exaggerated death sequences doesn't make it childish.

  Do you like ANY good games?  I'm sure you think Doom is the worst game of 
all time at this rate, ditto Final Fantasy VII.
  Oh, and Wipeout XL was largely tunnel racing too.  But then, according to 
you, that's nothing to be wild about.
