I dunno about that; I didn't find anything wrong with Portal and let my kids have at it, and they're about that age. Heck, the puzzle-solving in that game is more brain-stimulating than a lot of games they could be playing.

And on the website Escapist they say, that every users' heart grew three sizes that day.

I am honestly about to shed a tear of joy.

EDIT: I just found a video that makes any "inappropriate" elements in this song seem like nothing. Behold: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1931351

They must really hate fudge.

I plan on being a high school biology teacher, and now I also plan on abusing my power in awesome ways like this too. The lifecycle of a Pokemon term paper. That should do it.

Already stated but I wonder what the parents were thinking.
"Wait what was that about pie? And throwing that things heart into the fire?

I laughed pretty hard at the, "That was a joke, haha, fat chance."

Saw this on youtube earlier. It's brilliant.

Though I have to say while it's awesome for us internet nerds and the geeky chior teacher, I wonder what the parents and children thought of it. Out of context Still Alive isn't that awesome, it's just a nice tune with weird lyrics about cake and black mesa. The awkward "wtf?" silence from the parents is tangible.

The humor is pretty dark. I mean much of the song is essentially about all the people GLaDOS killed. From an outsiders prospective it sounds like it's a song about weapon building and gun design...which is some what is.

I still think it's awesome. I just feel for all the slightly miffed parents with polite forced smiles on their faces.

But yeah, I wouldn't have any problem with my 10 year old playing Portal. It's a little creepy at times and could be scary for young children but it's not very violent at all. It's just out of context all this seems to be are some kids singing about guns, dead people and cake.

Threw this into the Favorites section; I don't feel like browsing for it on YouTube but this is amazing! Kids singing Still Alive...I grinned like throughout the whole thing, their parents probably don't get it but it does have a bit to do about school when you think about it. Doubt they ever heard of Aperture Science Laboratory though...

Quick quick send to michael atkinson I wanna see his reaction!!!

Also this truly warms a gamers heart, brings a tear to the eye and puts a smile on your face...Epic
That is GENIUS!! Hah ahah - it would be like the validation of his worst fears - tiny tots singing about violence inherent in a videogame! Lol.

The teeny soloist was sweet - didn't realise that the lights were coming from her dress!
