Today's technology headlines (Although not necessarily seen on the front of your favorite Sunday paper) are riddled with touchy stories reflecting the supposed effect of violent video games on today's younger generation. States are regularly drafting bills in an attempt to create restrictions regarding these, most extremely labeled, "public nuisance(s)". Which side should one stand on? There are strong scientific and intellectual forces on either side of this issue. Is it as black and white as it is made out to be? Read on for the particulars, or just let us know where you stand in the forums!
Most of us know first-hand the ability of a good game to suck valuable time from our our lives. We here at the Over Thirty Club share in a particular fondness of Counter-Strike, of course — but whatother games have OTC-goers partaken of? Join me in this forum thread to discuss games of all kinds: What are they? When did you play them? Did they tickle your fancy or strike you as totally awful? Anything goes here, folks — just keep it clean.

Steam Problems

It would see that Steam is having problems again! It's kicking everyone and saying that they don't own whatever game they are currently playing. The only temporary fix is to close steam and re-start it. Their forums are fairly useless at this point. They're getting hammered by irate 12 years old calling their programmers names. Guess we'll just have to wait it out. Sorry folks!
