		<description>I played the game. My only suggestion would be to relax on the one-word sentence openers. </description>

		<description>+1 what michaeljonjensen said.

Also, The End rocks, though I wish the avatar customization had more abstract characteristics available in keeping with the motif of the game. Overall though, it&#039;s a great way to lure the little ones to existentialism and humanism. I wonder if in the future there will be campaigns to ban educational games from school intranets. &quot;Why, in my day we had wholesome games like Street Fighter and Doom, and you had to walk a six whole miles in freezing rain to get a popsicle!&quot;</description>

		<description>I keep losing because I am much too nice of a boss - I&#039;m all about the worker. But that&#039;s probably because I&#039;m a happy subversive radical socialist!!!

		<description>Pretty much all I did in the Sweatshop game was read stupid shit and waste time.  After three minutes of no game play I quit.</description>

		<description>Love the concept of Sweatshop. Hated having to wait for each bit of textual explanation and scene-setting to display. Found the music grating. Great to have the real information interspersed between levels.

It just took too long to get to actual play, and I was impatient. I don&#039;t play many games, so take that with a grain of salt.

But kudos to your wife for enacting her ethics.</description>

		<description>Not a thing. But this marks the first serious attempt by a public UK entity to discuss existential issues with teens in a way that encompasses atheism as a legitimate choice.</description>

		<description>And what&#039;s wrong with an increasingly atheist -- or agnostic -- population? Those *ARE* legitimate religious choices, even though they make organized religion uncomfortable and cut into its income stream.
