Somewhere along the way, they outgrew you. And some of us grew along with them.
So Dragon Age is somehow more "grown," more mature than The Lord of the Rings, is it?
Our table holds a lot more than yours.
Well perhaps he doesn't mean grew up, but rather means grew out.
I can't argue with that. Their "fantasy" is, after all, self-indulging and gluttonous. It exchanges actually mature themes and thoughtful exploration of issues for "these baddies represent my real-world political enemies and allow me to experience my fantasy of killing them."
You can keep your big boy buffet table with tons of plates piled high with sub-Golden Corral slop, Patrick.
“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.”
