Interesting quote someone cited on the PA forum topic Maturity and how it relates to fun:

Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms.

Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly.

When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. --C.S. Lewis

Nice! It's like what a number of gamers have been saying for years, except put more eloquently. People who worry about how mature their games are really aren't mature at all.

"Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional."

That quote captures such a beautiful concept.

So much truth. It should be required reading for everybody.

..Someone called Midna's design kiddy?

Seeing her in the trailer is what convinced me this would be a truly epic game. Why? Because someone who looks so overtly demonic and creepy was going to be a recurring character.

Her shape is pedomorphic, but in a spooky way.
