    And, if you're more art inclined, do some basic math and programming (Your teams in the future will thank you profusely) and then put most of your focus on design and art for mastery. Math and Programming was showing my own personal bias. :)

    Physics master race.

    Psychology is interesting but the only reason I ever look into it is to learn how to exploit the human mind.

    That may or may not make me a bad person.

    The 'political' way of phrasing that is to 'better understand your fellow human beings' (with the subtext of so you can exploit the hell out of them)... I wouldn't say it makes you a bad person, just better informed than most...

    How many times did you say to yourself: "Eh, the ethics board don't need to know about this"?

    Quite controversially, I feel as though the ethics board holds science back. How many things do we know that we wouldn't had ethics guidelines had been in place? :p

    Though of course everything should be done as 'ethically as possible' but sometimes I feel as though sacrifices can be made.

    Oh gosh, and then watching shows that "prank" participants in a way that's wholly not allowed in ethical scientific studies - because it's "entertainment". It's hard to watch knowing the psychological damages that occur.

    In fact that's one thing I despise - those sort of shows. Entertainment is an entirely different thing to Scientific Advancement. Entertainment should, in my opinion have a much more strict set of rules and regulations than it does currently, both ethics, ratings etc etc.

    (I'm very old fashioned when it comes to morals :p )

    Derren Brown walks a very VERY fine line and sometimes goes over. ¬_¬

    Agreed. We should build a new society under the Atlantic where science is not held back by petty morality.

    Ah, so we can blame YOU for Bioshock 2?

    Why hello there, Mr Ryan
