If by 'the same kind of violence' you mean 'a different kind of violence'.
The NY times article refers to the ESRB rating. I'm pretty sure the article with the alternatives went by those. In your example the alternative, Overlord II, is rated Teen while its counterpart, Left 4 Dead 2, is rated Mature.
There are standards for these ratings. Now you may disagree with the standards, but dismemberment, animated blood and gore fall in the M category. Morality choices, like playing on the side of evil in Overlord, are not totally excluded from the standard, but usually have less impact.

I'm sorry if I ignored a crucial difference in comparing the two. I'm not from the US. In my country (the Netherlands) there is not such a big gap in performance between gym class and sports outside of school hours.
HCM can apparently cause heart failure even under light stress, even just emotional stress. But then I'm not a medical professional either so perhaps I am again assuming too much about the motivation of the grand parent poster.

The catch is that the "otherwise healthy" claim is arbitrary here. The most common cause, according to that article, is HCM. The problem is that this is hard to test for (many false positives) and can occur in athletes, even on the professional level.
"Seemingly healthy" would have been a better choice of words.

Roger Penrose makes a hard to refute argument for pretty much that statement. As it's based on completeness theory and turing machines it's pretty mathematical.
The Chinese Room argument of John Searle makes a similar claim, although it's less mathematical.
I would say these proofs are support too strong a conclusion by comparing the brain to a single algorithm. They merely raise the question what the magic ingredient is. Massive parallelism is my favourite candidate and seeing as how that happens to be the direction that computation is progressing anyway I confidently voted AI.

A car drives from A to B. At its top speed this takes one hour. The driver decides to get out after 40 minutes without pulling over. How much time does it take him to arrive at his destination?

Or stare at a session change dialog wondering if you'll get a chance to see your battleship explode. The suspense is killing!

Close enough?

The replicators from star trek are machines that produce items from raw matter. Much like the matter compilers from Neal Stephenson's diamond age they would probably operate using nanotechnology.
The replicators from stargate seem to be self replicating robots. Not sure what they have to do with nanotechnology. You probably know better than me since I never managed to watch a whole episode.

Time to correct it a little bit then ;)
