Personally, my problem with the "gaming world" is that it seems to only have two modes - "Serious Business" and "Childish". Let me clarify that second one. To borrow from MASH, I don't mean Childlike, with its connotations of innocence and joyous abandon, but Childish.
Why does it not seem possible for the gaming world in general to be simultaneously mature and lighthearted?
