In hindsight, I'm still kind of taken aback at how dark the game was willing to go at times. Everything with the tempered, a certain NPC party and corresponding ARR dungeon, and just the casualness of some of the killing, justified or otherwise.

It's not really about being dark, the books were always more acerbic of politics and social conventions of the time than you would imagine for an otherwise children's book, which was surprising.

But otherwise yeah the idea of "Alice in Wonderland but dark!" was still a mildly novel idea in 2000 sure, right after tv shows and movies were doing darker takes on it in the decades previous. But since then it's become a rather trite and tired cliche to make "seemingly innocent children's media" dark and morbidly depressing.

Ah ok. Such a weird concept to think of video game developers being marketed as such during that time when the industry was booming.
Yeah, through the 90s and early 2000s, the folks on the original id Software team were big names in the industry, even after leaving. Some, like John Romero and the other folks who went off to form Ion Storm, basically crashed and burned, but folks like American McGee just gradually stepped out of the limelight.

This is... by far the most random news I've ever heard. That guy who was the voice in metal gear solid games, is wanting to make a tv show, about that crappy alice video game that had potential but was kinda terrible (talking about the first game) with a sequel that was kinda boring (madness returns) for some reason?

And it was always weird to me that they specify "american mcgee" like literally who. That was a weird short lived trend in 90s western gaming where american developers would put their name in the game and try to make it about them instead of the company or game. It would be like saying iwata's wii sports or Shigeru's Mario raving rabbids Or satoshi's pokemon.
To American McGee's credit, I believe it was the publisher's (EA? I think?) decision to put his name on it like that since he was still something of a rock star in the industry.

Maybe. It would probably depend on how long after the incident she miscarried. If it was, say, a month later, then they'd probably not be able to prove he caused it. Compared to, say, if she miscarried the next morning.

After looking around a bit, I can't find any sources that state when she lost the baby. Best I can find is Forbes, which reports that "she wouldn't have the child, but didn't lose it as result of the tasing."
Yeah that's what I found puzzling and why I flagged it as an issue. The longer the temporal gap, the more difficult causation is to prove (or, rather, it becomes easier to muddy the waters).

Still absolutely flagrant abuse regardless.

You'd have some difficulty proving causation beyond the initial harm of being tasered. Certainly possible, especially if you have a really clear timeline to work with and a good expert witness, but still poses some difficulty.

Hurt me plenty (which would be 'normal') still requires reasonable effort, so I would say it should still be enjoyable while still requiring you to get into the game's flow. Ultra-violence is a significant step up, but could also be manageable once you get a better feel for the flow of the game. Nightmare can border on the "hit head against brick wall until it breaks" for less twitch-inclined folks.

Undergrad GPA matters less for folks like you who are not on the direct undergrad->law school train. A good GPA will help, but the LSAT and reference letters will do more of the heavy lifting in your circumstances.

I'm a fresh graduate from a regional school, albeit not well ranked nationally, and I'm presently on the tail end of my judicial term clerk employment. My home state is somewhat peculiar in its distaste for out-of-state graduates, but if you have questions about law school I'd be more than happy to help if I can.

I'll take it a step further: it should have a map, but it should just be a map. As in, no quest markers, no GPS position for your character's current location... just a literal top-down topographical map of the region. The kind a character might bring with them if they were actually venturing into a new land. See something cool? Orient yourself relative to a landmark on the map and then make your trek from there.
It is genuinely sad that we've backtracked from the ye olde dungeon crawler maps where we could put notes on the map in addition to individual markers.
