Immorality in Video Games

[Rosarium]

There are three endings to the game

I know them all. I haven't actually played it for the two others though.

Which one do you think better? I played the game once and saved all the Little Sisters. I didn't even lose one as a Big Daddy (I felt this part of the game was redundant though, it was too long after the climax and seemed tacked on).

Three?  There's one in which Jack apparently saves all the Little Sisters and brings them back to the surface, with clips of feminine hands at weddings or something like that.  Then a second ending shows a Splicer team taking over a submarine (ostensibly one with nuclear warheads aboard).  I don't know of a third ending, though.  I know it's possible to attain the first ("best") ending even if you harvest/kill one or maybe two girls, but no more than that.

The third is if you save some of the girls. It is the same as the one where you kill all, but with the voice over sad instead of angry. You cannot kill a single girl to get the happy ending.

"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But, when I became a man, I put away the things of a child." - 1 Cor. 13:11

Try to find an grown up diversion and put away the kiddie games then you won't have to worry about such dilemmas.   

Video games are inherently games for children as much as chess, improv comedy, animated films, and board games are. It is a medium that does not necessitate being exclusively designed for children, performed by children, and enjoyed by children.

If you do not like video games, than so be it. But it is a strange assumption to make that video games are inherently childish. Fairy tales, for instance, were only considered childish during the Victorian period at first, but before hand were actually told by adults and to adults.

Looney Toons and many other older animations were for adults only too.

Look at how they defend their games!!! Aren't they cute??     It's ok boys....don't let any big meanie grown ups criticize your addictions.  Never trust anyone over 30.  Stick it to the man, and all that rubbish.  Yea.

I don't think the Doc receives Communion from priests who play video games.

I wonder if the trad seminaries have video game consoles in them. I know that a lot of diocesan seminaries have one in the common room.

I would think it bad to play video games while in seminary. It would distract from formation. But after formation I do not see the immediate harm in it anymore than most hobbies.

My mistake.  It's been awhile since I played it.

Probably not.  They have real games like billiards and foosball.
