What JRPGs Taught Me About College

1. There was and always will be bureaucracy.

What exactly is a bureaucracy? How I define it is a bunch of soft handed sissies who stand behind the scenes to remain blameless when any shortfall comes to light. They also like to dance around with red tape and count the millions of dollars wasted on shoddy plans for short fixes.

All JRPGs have a large figure who pulls the stings of the game. Most of them are greedy, over powered and over fed presidents, kings or sly magicians who are really sissies but hard to cut through, like red tape.

2. You get what you pay for. San Jose State is the cheapest college in the area, so it is assumed the education reflects the cost. It’s not horrible, but like buying weapons/accessories in a JRPG, more money equals better quality.

Video Games Just for Girls: You got it!

I have to say I totally agree with what this fellow girl gamer is saying. Are females so predictable to the gaining industry to where "OMG PSP LILAC!"


Video Games Just for Girls

...groan...
I can't stand the general stereotypes for women in the gaming world, they are either UGLY, you ain't got no alibi, or a lingerie warrior. That's right, I'm talkin' about all those scantly clad sex-goddesses waiting to wail on your gaming ass.




...yah, like her...

I will admit I rather see a scantily clad female compared to a loin-cloth-wearing...ok, so I think guys are hot, so what? We all know who games are marketed too, teenage boys. Hence the lingerie warrior.

However, I hate how game companies that a simple pink-fru-fru controller is going to engage more girls, while girls in video games are displayed a sex objects, just bitchy, or the brainless princess.

I would love to have a group of researchers actually sit down with girls, who play video games, and ask what they want out of a game. That's all...never happen, but I can dream.
