Happy Friday

I look forward to the day when I make video games; then I can say all the time I spend playing them is "market research."

[Magical Girl Mimi]

62302

Heh. That would be a good idea, yes...

[MsRowdyRedhead]

62303

It would be great if the games had some lasting benefit beyond reflexes...

[The Truth]

Puzzle solving skills?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

62305

Depends on the game, I guess.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That being said, some things can't either translate from games to reality, or reality into games. Games are really good at getting you interested in history, though, even if you were adamant that it was boring before. All those mythical legends and backstories in games really does subtly get you interested. =P

Unless it's roblox or minecraft...

That said...

Yeah, games without backstories don't help with that, but any self-respecting RPG has backstories, so it balances out eventually. =P

That said, a game like Minecraft teaches people the awesomeness of mining and building. Games like Rune Factory teach people to balance monster fighting with farming. And games like Tales of the Abyss show that buying tons of spoons and selling them elsewhere gets a lot of money. =P

Which of those will help you get the best job??

What does in general nowadays?

Play the Professor Layton games!  They teach you that there is a completely overcomplex, zany explanation for any unexplained mystery in life--and that it will always be exactly correct!  It also teaches the necessity of dramatic pointing.  Oh, and I guess critical thinking skills, but meh whatever...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

62312

Dramatic pointing can also be learned from the Ace Attorney games. Though, those games don't exactly teach skills to get a good job. </jk>

[MsRowdyRedhead]

What does in general nowadays?

62313

Study, reading, extra cirricular activities such as sports and music.  Games should be a small but enjoyable portion of free time.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

62314

I listen to music, and read. =P

And I meant more what can really get a job, these days?

[MsRowdyRedhead]

62315

I just have this feeling that the US & Canada are falling behind the rest of the world in so many areas..

[Magical Girl Mimi]

62316

And Canada? I'd say half the only reason that we seem like we're falling behind, is because half the stuff from the States seem to pass us over mysteriously. Especially if they're technology related, or more precisely, gaming related.

However, part of the reason that we seem to be lagging behind others, is because everyone seems to want to outsource stuff, not realizing that by saving money, that simply creates jobs elsewhere.

Empires have been made by outsourcing

Wow. xD That's not good, but the mental image is very hilarious. Was the container in the kitchen, or hallway? =P

It was actually on this weird platform thing with wheels that we normally use to push racks of glasses around. I had 2 igloos stacked on top of each other, both full of liquid (top was water, bottom was sweet tea. THANK GOD that one didn't fall over!!). Kip was in front of me carrying an igloo, and i got stuck going through the doorway, so I pushed and got through, but then leaned forward to catch the door to the kitchen before it closed.... and knocked over the igloo of water in the process.
