In the article I like the part about "the coming of age." What, considering our cultures, is our right of passage, especially for males? Where is the vision quest, the challenge, the coming/passing through? How does the lack of official said right of passage affect us as persons and as a culture? Does this explain the growth of the online games where anyone can face down fears with the ultimate backup of 'redo'?
Also I would agree with the part about a virtual gaming being a catharsis.
