That's the simple version of the story. In practice, things are a bit more complicated. To start with, different neurons specialize in releasing different neurotransmitters. Many carry messages that convey facts about the outside world--incoming sounds, patterns of light and so on--and integrate them into useful information.

The games' shameless pandering to adolescent fantasies is explained with little more than a breezy "what teenage boys want, teenage boys get," while growing parental concern is briskly dismissed as "adults freaking out about their precious darlings being driven to new heights of deviancy by popular media...
