what. Seems a local university now has and does offer a college course in video game playing...And what's even funnier more colleges and universities. yes even Ohio State.... are asking how they set the program up so they to can offer it.
No wonder America is lacking in education versus other countries.. we offer crap like that for education and expect to be competitive in a global market?......

In case you haven't noticed, video games are in high demand, this includes the people that make said video game. If people wish to pursue a career in video games I see no reason to interrupt. It could lead them to bigger, brighter careers.
Some video game designers bring in a large chunk of money every month. Japan owns the market on video games at the moment and you can bet it's not because the people are dumb lol. |

I don't think you learn to play at college
Those kids have been playing for years They get the love for developing games earlier and then their are schools like full sail in Florida I have a kid there learning game design

I do agree that a college course for it is silly. But at the same time colleges are trying to get kids into school, if they only take 1 course thats about video games playing, I see no harm in it, esp as I haven't taken the course so I don't know what they actually teach in the classroom.

The local university states.. It is only for "game playing" not design or any other reason Yet to be better in a competitive field of "PLAY"..... not design , not computer sciences. just to be better game players.
as for the comment about our educational systems.. get real do some checking. todays degrees are no where near what they should be in a competitive world. And our status as the best isn't there anymore. don't bury your head in the sand. We do lack..... If you can't handle the truth oh well. |

I have 137 credits so I know what it cost that was 3-4 years ago. My son was paying over 500 a credit. luckily his company paid him to go as long as he got "a's" |
