The thing is it's NOT a movie that panders to gamers. There's never a scene where somebody's like "Hey everybody! Let's go play videogames! Remember videogames?"

John Warner: In this and your previous post, I think you are misunderstanding a fundamental disagreement many of us have. And I don't blame you, since it is predicated on your belief in developmental hierarchies and whatnot. Video games, good or bad, like art in general, don't effect my behavioral patterns and I know the…
...an internet radio show about videogames and the people who love them. Hosted and edited by former EGM and 1UP writer Robert Ashley. This guy.

I don't know first hand that kind of college degrees, but after assisting to a 3D and game development vocational training course of two years (I think that would be the equivalent in english) for month and a half, I can really agree that there's a lot of disconection between most of these places and videogames as a…
The end is near? why should i ware that sign? because i see the situation is bad? It may be good for you but for others is terrible. Is inevitable to think about risks when we would like to work in the videgame industry. Is quite normal to be worried about it. Too many should hold the pirate flag... piracy is not a…
