Nice to see there's still people out there who doesn't give a fuck about what the critics think.

Edit: yeah yeah, critics =/= masses, whatever, I get it, you get it, we all get it. RIP inbox.

One of the first songs I heard by Satriani, and also one of the first songs I obsessively practiced on my guitar when I was 15.

If you compare it to MMA instead (for its 'violent nature', best comparable to Street Fighter) you can start to see a big difference. I've never ever heard of a violent outbreak between fans because the 'wrong' fighter won in all of my years as a MMA fan. In soccer though, cities can burn because the wrong team won. There seems to be something violently different about soccer and most other sports, I don't really hear that much about fans fighting each other in hockey, football, baseball, basketball, or any other major sport.

I find that studies around gaming always produce mixed results, where some deem them bad for cognitive thinking, creativity and to encourage violent behaviour while other studies claim the opposite. Have you or your lab ever been approached by people who wanted you to release fabricated or altered results in order to make something appear different from what you originally discovered/verified?
