crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (raziel)
As expected, I get into a lot of bar conversations with dudes about games. Some are awesome, some make me want to throttle them. It's like any sort of conversation you have with semi-drunk or drunk people over any semi-serious topic. Full of bullshit, but with a kernel of truth deep down. It's more pertinent to me than a discussion about communism or philosophy, because it relates back to my job.

Of course, then I have to deal with the flip side; educators that have a very narrow idea on what a game is.

So, I wanted to do some stuff for [community profile] three_weeks_for_dw, but since work is MAD BUSY and I've been entering lots of data into spreadsheets (if my job is anything it is extremely varying work, because we are a small company, so sometimes I have grunt work, but so does everyone) I'm just going to do a couple entries here and there!

Since I'm currently designing some teaching points for our game (that are used outside of the game narrative and just using the mechanics), I thought, "hey, how about I talk about some things I'm trying to help teach kids". This particular project is very dear to me, because it's teaching engineering skills in particular. So I'm going to talk about the very fundamental basis of engineering work here. I'm sure a lot of you, since you're somewhere near or above my age have a good grasp, but I like explaining things. XD

let's talk about problem solving )

If there are any other subjects related engineering, science, gaming, or education that you'd like me to ramble about, explain, or given an opinion of, feel free to let me know. If I have no idea about something, I'll opt out, unless it's quick research or I can find something I know that is close. XD I like rambling about these things and don't often have the opportunity to outside of work, or a bar.
