Violence in video games
Someone posted a link to a documentary on twitter last night, and I’ve just finished watching it. I thought I was a fair and balanced look at the subject and I would recommend anyone who is considering a career in the games industry watch it, even if it’s just so you know what the arguments are about.
The description of the video on Babelgum :-
Moral Kombat takes a look into the controversial subject of violence in video games. Director Spencer Halpin shows the constant conflict between the game creators’ first amendment right to make a violent game and the eminent threat that violence poses on the next generation. In addition, the film is full of the latest green screen and high-definition technology that allow watchers to actually envision the world of gaming. Filled with interviews from lead game designers, politicians, parents, and psychologists, this film provides a candid take on the influence games have on youth today.

Oh the embarrassment…
Last night, after reading Nick Gravelyn’s “Pixel Man Post Mortem #1” I thought I’d get his opinion on Dodge to see if he thought I could publish it to Xbox Live Indie Games.
I sent him a tweet that read :-
@nickgravelyn Hello, I have only finished one game http://bit.ly/idSTQ I just wanted your advice, worth publishing or what’s left to do?
I was surprised to say the least when my site stats showed an increase in traffic to the Dodge page, I was happy that others were having a look at the ONLY game I’ve completed, that was until nick replied :-
@mort8088 Game doesn’t run for me. Double clicked it and it just gives me the “Dodge has stopped working” error box.
