Let us ring in the first post of the new year with an in-depth discussion on questionable ethics in video games. After all, it's not every day that one is faced with such a difficult, nerve-wracking, make or break decision:

I'm glad to announce though, that this decision in particular was not one of those. I swiftly chose the option on the right without hesitation, as you can tell from the strange red shape used as the selector.

Now I can just imagine the shocked gasps of the imaginary masses, some of which may be echoing the sentiments of the character who asked this pivotal question, an anthropomorphic sword-wielding snake named Marid.
"B-b-but animu [sic] IS real! Please, say it ain't so!"

Oh, sweet child of summer, a phrase oft-quoted in popular culture from J.R.R. Tolkien's much beloved classic fantasy novel, A Crown of Swords. Or was it Crown of Horns?
  
In any case, it is a hard and fast truth of the world that all of your precious chinese cartoons, even the best of them, are in fact completely staged. They are as false as the farce that is professional wrestling. But in spite of this I still enjoyed playing through the world of Overwatch, Volvo Corporation's hallmark Real Time Strategy game that's looking to hit its first/second anniversary this year.

As per usual it seems I won't be making a post on everything I said I might earlier. But the spice must flow, so there'll be something to look forward to in the months to come.
