Beyond the Final Boss is "It Gets Better" for the bullied gamer generation
Over the past two years or so, bullying has become a national news, Last summer, 16-year-old Brandon Elizares committed suicide after a string of threatening text messages. In a highly publicized 2010 case, 18-year-old Tyler Clementi lept off the George Washington Bridge after a roommate secretly ca
