So the Supreme Court heard the State of California's arguments for legally banning the sale of violent video games to minors today. While a final decision won't be reached until next year, most of the Justices were highly skeptical of granting a First Amendment exclusion for video games. Justice Scalia in particular was very vocally incredulous. Some highlights:

I read an interesting article about why silent protagonists who lack personalities so you can "immerse yourself" are shitty. Was a good read.
Yahtzee wrote something about that, but I think it depends, really. Some of the best games feature silent protagonists, on the other hand why am I talking to you about that, you didn't think Half Life was good

well they have an interview with the kid, mom, and the kids brother (the recorder) and it looked pretty legit. also, the kid doesnt even know those videos are on youtube.
If it's the German kid then it is an act he put on. Perhaps there's another one I don't know off, obviously some of the humor from the kids video comes from it not being far from the truth from some people

Paranoid bullshit. It just doesn't work like that, because the camera needs you to activate it. Can't be done remotely, so you need to be playing a game or using the video chat for it to even be recording you. And even then Microsoft is subject to right to privacy federal laws.There you go, Cyner.
What I heard is that Microsoft reserves the right to tape your conversations in the licence agreements. I didn't look in to it, really, though like you I could imagine that to be quite illegal, so perhaps a hoax. On the other hand it's not like it is in any way technically feasible atm.

Funny you'd mention that, since I just finished Episodes 1 and 2 last night.

A few long paths to the next area give you reason to use Link's other new ability; sprint. Although this drains a stamina bar which depletes within a few seconds and has Link crippled over in exhaustion momentarily. The trick is not to let the stamina drain completely. Sprinting also lets Link run up walls Prince of Persia-style.
Am I the only one that seems to have missed this for some time?
