Speaking Of Maturity

Those of you with the steel stomach to listen to my drunk Rock Paper Shotgun appearance with Kieron Gillen heard me blabber on at some length about adult games and mature content. Coincidentally, my Kotaku feature for this month is also up today, wherein I treat a similar topic with hopefully at least slightly more clarity.

Talked to Dangerous High School Girls' Keith Nemitz and Bethesda's Erik Caponi for the story, both of whom were amazingly insightful on the key question: What will it take for "mature" to be more than a rating?

Also, vaguely related, I said I was finished talking about RapeLay, but when I was invited to write for an audience of parents at What They Play, I thought it was an important thing to do. Information's our best weapon, you know?

So yeah, I've been super busy in the past week, hence SVGL updates getting a little slower -- Team Gamasutra is ramping up for GDC next week, probably the busiest time of year for us as trade journos. I also have to give a presentation, which kind of terrifies me -- so if you'll be at GDC and see me, say hi, but please don't heckle me!

I'll try to post brief updates on GDC during the week, but don't be surprised if I'm too busy!
