Hows it going? Anonymous 09/12/15 (Sat) 23:17:43 eaf344 No.2598

How is this year going for everyone

freshman here and given what I saw on this board going into it I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like it here, especially the teachers and almost every non-BAGD student.

But fuck badgers though god damn they are annoying. 2 of my dormies are badgers and I don't mind one but the other embodies everything I can hate in a person: she is SJW, lazy, ignorant, full of herself, and all she does is complain about everything except herself. Also she's a full on biowarefag. I know its mean to want people to fail but I really hope her laziness gets the best of her so she has to drop out. I actually applied as a BAGD then switched to BSCSGD after coming to this board and now I'm just BSCS after seeing that I'd be critically analysing gone homo. Very happy with that decision.

What are some good clubs here? I just started in a 5E group (1 DM 3 players right now) in tabletop club and game design club was 10x better than the GAT class I went to before withdrawing. Also making a Dota club even though there's a MOBA club so I can get twice as many –pizzas– social experiences. If they let me I'd also be interested in making a Mead Appreciation club (if there isn't one already).

BSGD here

Glad you switched. This school is gonna fuck you over a little more now, but you are now going to be significantly more hireable than your bagd (and probably BSGD in some cases) peers.

Glad this board was able to make a positive impact on someone's life (At least in the long run)

As for clubs, I strongly recommend doing outbreak if you're not already. Great way to blow off steam and meet peers. I don't think its too late to sign up even though you missed the info session.

"critically analysing gone homo"

You're trying too hard.

I don't know the situation with why they are analyzing Gone Home, but during your time at DigiPen as a designer you will regularly be subjected to terrible games, for the express purpose of exploring what they have done wrong.

Lol, the only reason they are doing gone homo is to push "progressive" identity politics in the classroom. Otherwise they would of done Dear Esther or the static speaks my name.

Still have the screenshot I took on moodle, I don't think Ellinger thinks this is a terrible game. Also did some mild baiting with this and have met 2 students that worship it.

People still care enough to call in bomb threats to threaten its members.

yes but why do they care, and why do the GG people themselves care in the first place

games journalism has always been a joke and it doesn't need to be anything more, it is completely irrelevant to anyone who isn't wilfully ignorant and you are much better off just hanging out in a place like /v/ and/or talking to friends.

Some people are sick of the status quo. They feel gaming deserves a press that covers all subjects of it objectively.

If you want objective coverage you don't need to try and take shitty sites like Kotaku down you just need to actually go to ones that aren't shit like Techraptor. Its sole existence should have marked the end of GG because there is zero reason to give a shit about taking down other gaming websites, if you stop talking about them they'll probably die on their own eventually. I sympathise with GG in some way because its wrongly accused of many things but it really has no reason to exist in the first place.

Techraptor is always my choice, its a great site. GG does many things, it raises awareness for decent sites like Techraptor, as well as documenting ethical violations by Kotaku/Polygon etc. It's not one or the other.

GG sorta morphed into some misogynistic group according to journalists and mentality unstable people across the internet. It's pretty funny.

1) The early GAT classes have always been a joke. In the past they've had students look at the rewards systems in Call of Duty 4 single player, and basically just write papers about whatever games whoever is teaching the class is thinking about at the time.

2) I actually can't think of that many games that are better examples of tension in storytelling than Gone Home. It has you on edge the whole time because you're expecting something to happen, AND NOTHING EVER DOES!

I personally might have picked Dead Space, because eventually you get used to the tension, and you can actually learn a lot more from that.

You're trying too hard. I'm not a fan of Gone Home (because a lot of media these days gets a free pass for including sexual minorities, but that's a topic for another day), but there is no conspiracy to introduce you to what you call "progressive" identity politics in your classes. Maybe you need to go back to rural Missouri or whatever backwoods bumfuck nowhere place you're from if you're not comfortable dealing with people who are different than you.

Such vile hatred directed at people you think are vile haters

Do you see some sort of connection? Or is it ok because you think they deserve it?
