There have been a huge discussion about bringing WoW into the education plan into swedish education plans.

that would be an absolute disaster.

before you start judging it, let's look at the point of it first: basically this academic wants the english language simplified so that every word can be spelled from the phonetic description rather than the system that is set up now; what with certain irregularities and borrowed words. per se this isn't a bad solution, since i know some people in the UK have severe problems learning their own, let alone other languages. this would remove large amounts of error margin due to everyone just listening to the word in their head, rather than dissecting it in a dictionary or equal. i'd support this decision if it were true for all languages, but i guess even then you have to start somewhere.

not sure whether or not appropiate to suggest, but how about one unique accessory for each character? it would be neat to see something that fit in with their theme.

i would need to see this in better contrast for better critique. perhaps you have more shots?

you're too young to start learning about nietzche, sindy.

ill blankly admit that i havent watched the video; i felt that the topic has more to offer than one person's view expressed through a video. there have been numerous cases of "passive" learning put into entertainment. take for instance any game that uses old greek, persian or other names for vessels or units. it might not be much, but if the user finds a specific unit to be awesome (especially due to an emphasis put on from the game itself), then he or she is more likely to gather information about said unit. i dont think active learning in entertainment works just yet; it would be bad to force players to learn something. let those who want explore and learn more. you've presented it, you don't need to burn it into their brain if they don't want to.

Well sometimes the "message" is money, and the "experience" is the unaware consumer.

i know. i may not have put it bluntly enough, so here goes: i'm not in it for the money.

no doubt that any game, or for that matter, any medium of information should have its weight in learning. games are essentially interactive books or movies; some of them very inspiring. i think it's very much in the nature of any game to teach us something, not neccesarily just about the topic within, but also about its reflection on the real world. imagine what standstill we would reach if we learnt nothing from any source of inspiration-- both in technology and in personal development.

i'd go so far as to say that i wouldn't be interested in game design were games not a way to convey a message through experience.

i finally got around to buying the boxed version... although ill probably wait with playing until the working patch

that's a first... patches that break games instead of fixing them.

i think reno's suggestion is pretty fair.

i dont know about cg society other than i've heard they're a bunch of elitist assholes, but then again that's not much different from mapcore. i don't know why we should consider buying into their system and not just making our own. spotlight is a mapcore thing after all; not a cg society thing.

it's the one with the oversized guy that can turn himself into a kid with a baseball bat and he has something on his face if i remember correctly.

as i said before, i have a bet going that it's gonna be the next "the sims".

i have an idea for a map but i have trouble putting down time to actually create something concrete out of my abstraction.

who's will wright?

that last post wins. also am i the only one not using last.fm?

Pass on this? the first one was rated 82 on meta, and I remember some really bad crits during the first release. even though everyone I know who have played it LOVE it.I doubt that Clear sky will dissapoint, unless you expect it to be a shooter like cod.

edit:

gamespy game the first game 70, which is the IGN network.

dont bother, he obviously takes what others think way more seriously than he should.

Quote from D3ads

Jim is a middle aged white man, I'm not racist in the slightest but he just doesn't fit the bill at all. Why do people have to change things?

man i don't get how you can be such a non conformist with everything, then go all conservative when they dont make something you like the way you want it.

this game might as well be made from the wood of the holy cross for how hard it is to find anywhere. best wrestling party game EVER.

why so judgmental?
