TechArtist mutant, Right-brain/Left-brain fusion.
Current student, graduating from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online Division at the end of June '09 with a B.S. in Game Art and Design. Also holding an A.A.S. in Graphic Design, along with computer hardware knowledge that has never been certified. Built three PCs, upgraded countless others. Nursed an abandoned laptop back to life and got to keep it. Hopes to some day obtain an additional PCI-E video card and experience SLI with the main system, but is pretty much a broke college student at this point.
Specialty: Jill-of-All-Trades project floater. When the going gets tough, Heather calmly puts on another hat and does whatever it takes.
Perks: Fun to look at, easy to get along with. A team-player, down with compromise and cooperation. Despite this poorly written profile, possesses great communication skills and the all-powerful positive mental attitude.

I agree with you guys ... I agree with you guys on this one. If the test was done with a group of middle aged adults and a group of seniors, it would have been more useful. The game isn't intended to make ten-year-olds, who are still completing their basic education, better at math or memory. ... |

I would really hope that ... I would really hope that they're going to be concentrating on a lot more pressing issues first, rather than trying to ban video games.

Aaron, If that's the case, ... Aaron, If that's the case, I think your company's approach to microtransactions is great, because it doesn't offset the balance of the gameplay. That's where it becomes important that the developers are gamers themselves. In that respect, we can all understand the things that are frustrating, like imbalanced core mechanics. ... |
