By | November 17, 2010

Talking about Mental Health issues in WoW–be it for RP or how to work with your guildies–is akin to walking on eggshells. You have to tread carefully. Despite this concern, I’ve spent the past two days breaking down a few of the key traits of psychopathy and antisocial personality disorders for RP purposes. While I [...]

By | November 16, 2010

Yesterday, I started a discussion regarding the definition of various Anti-social personality traits, including an investigation of the terms used in pop culture.
