Well-explained neuroscience in a videogame mag article: I can see why this got the "Best of" tag. Good job :)

Dog trainers treating behavioural problems recommend not to punish negative behaviours, but to reward positive ones, as often this leads to better overall results in the long term and, more importantly, guarantees that the owner, or the context in which the punishment would be delivered, won't...

Phoenix Wright in his hobo version: laid back and kinda sexy ;)

QFT.

Half Life. It's not that I despise the series, all the games are objectively well done, but... they fail to captivate me.

Bad taste alert!

Hypocrisy FTW! IAWTC.

Mmmmh, let's bring something Italian in there. My region is famous for the Bolognese sauce, the mortadella and all that, which are not exactly healty, but the real deal is the "gnocco fritto". It's a basic dough that gets fried in lard and accompanied with everything you can possibly obtain...
