>That guy who wrote a college paper on video gamesWhat was yours about and what kind of grade did you get on it?
I wrote a piece on Silent Hill 2 and got an A
I was an autistic sperg but I never went that far.
I'm actually writing one right now.
It's about movement in videogames, and is for my class about videogames.
I'll probably get an a because my professor likes me.I'm the only one in the class that didn't say Fallout was their favorite game.I'm also writing another paper about 4chan
>>317723429I wrote one on DMC and got an SSS
Non, but a friend of mine did his examination paper (he's a teacher) doing a linguistic analysis of the languages in Skyrim.
Funny thing is that the teacher acting as advisor was a 50 year old lady who played Skyrim on her spare time.

I argued against the theory that playing video games is linked to violence and aggression in children. My professor disagreed.I got an A anyway
>>317723429
>College
the only paper I've ever had to write in college was a 5 page report about the usefulness of Hastelloy C-276.I did write a paper in highschool about how videogames are unjustly used as a scapegoat for violence. Got a B- for various spelling errors and shitty sentence structure, English isn't my strong suit.
I dropped out of college. Fuck university education.
>>317724213
>I-I just learn differently!
I didn't do a college paper, but my high school English research paper was about violence in video games. Jack Thompson was big back then.
It pretty much amounted to "Nah, it doesn't cause people to turn violent," but the real goal of the paper was to demonstrate that I could cite multiple sources.
One guy in my class wrote his paper about the philosophy of The Simpsons.
>>317724013

Excuse me, what?
It would be one thing if you said "video games do not cause violent behavior", but "video games are not violent" is a flat-out lie.

>>317724537
What games did you play for class?
I want to be elitist and shit on them.
>>317723693
Where the fuck do you go, I want a vidya class
Wasn't autsitic enough to write a paper but I did win a debate about video games one time in a psychology class.
It was a class full of women (ex-nursing major here) and the professor was a super old retired army veteran who didn't know jack shit about vidya (I don't blame him, if I was his age vidya probably wouldn't interest me).
Anywho, somehow we got on the topic of violent video games and of course 90% of peple in the room immediately get on their moral high horse and start pointing out how call of duty and GTA V are turning kids into rapists, misogynists, psychopaths, and criminals. At every point I pretty much shot down every wrong thing they said by pointing out that the ESRB exists and games are rated (just like movies, which nobody seems to have a problem), a game cannot go on sale unless it has an ESRB rating, the content within a "questionable" game is readily available to parents with access to the Internet and ratings ON THE FUCKING GAME BOX ITSELF, part of being a decent parent is assessing such content and applies to all media, and that, at the core, every "video games are bad" arguement has been shot at every art form in its infancy (comic books, movies, music, etc.) only because people don't know about those art forms and bad parents want to find excuses for being bad parents. I even went full sperg and had a copy of GTA V in backpack to use as a demonstration (Wasn't planned, got it the day before and didn't have time to play it)
We had to do a write-up for all in-class debates (for some reason) and when I submitted mine it was the highest grade (perfect 100) out of all the ones I submitted at the end of the semester. He was a cool professor.
I broadcasted my power level to everyone in the class, but it just pisses me off when ignorant dumbasses try to argue about things they have no knowledge of and most of them were annoying twats anyway.
>>317724537
That sounds like a swell degree anon.

>>317724307
>video games do not cause violent behavior
Depends on how old you are when you play them. Young children imitate almost anything they see, with little knowledge on what it is they are doing. They might not even know what "violence" is but they connect this behavior to role models which isn't very good. And as for adults: Some people are simply so dumb that video games do affect them, like children. Of course not as much, but hey I'm sure the US military wasn't supporting COD because it was such a great FPS.
>>317724294
No. It was just bullshit. I dropped out 6 months in amd didn't pay a cent. Instead, I started working at 18, and now I have a well-established job with tons of experience and a strong future. I live by myself and make a solid income. I have plans for investments to mske bigger bank and pursue personal goals, and I'm only 25.
Meanwhile, most of my classmates from hs are still haggling for their first job.
University education is a scam. Enjoy your worthless piece of paper you got duped into slaving for.
>>317723429
Wrote mines on violence in video games which was a 3000 word 10 page essay and got a 100 on it. He probably didn't even read it since everyone in my class got a 100 for doing it.

During undergrad, I wrote about the Rare Earth hypothesis, space elevators, an analysis of the black humor in Dr. Strangelove, and my undergrad thesis was on language attrition.
In graduate school, I've written papers on commercial space law, international arbitration centers in the middle east, and I'm currently working on two papers on current developments that I hope to submit for publishing in legal journals.
I don't think I've ever written anything on video game shit, and likely never will.

This. I've seen students try and look smart or impress the teacher with all kinds of topics and end up doing the entire assignment wrong. Also, unless you're at an art school, people aren't that well versed in vidya anyway so you can make a mistake and no one can call you out on it.
I never wrote about vidya but I did my undergraduate research paper on the portrayal of nuclear weapons and power in film. It included 2 Godzilla movies, Back to the Future, Cloud Atlas, Dr. Strangelove, and a bunch of other greats.
It sounds fun but any paper gets tedious by page 25.

Not College/Uni but...
On my first day of Year 7 (UK. About 12 years old iirc) our tutor got the whole tutor group (Group of about 20 or so people who share a common room and take register every morning and shit) to give a short, video recorded presentation on their hobbies. I gave a 5 minute speech explaining the plot of Perfect Dark (I distinctly remember telling everyone how there was an alien called Elvis) including the local multiplayer and how much I fucking hated peacebots. Had slight cringes all though secondary school thinking about it but laughed it off and forgot about it. In the last week of Year 11 just before we went on to College she brought out the VHS tapes and showed them to all of us. It was hilarious and awkward at the same time and nobody, not even the popular girls or the sporty kids came away unscathed (I remember one of them talked about loving Chelsea and in the intervening years had bandwagoned over to United and looked like a right arsehole).

There are hundreds of journal published papers out there about video games.
Did a presentation in college on teamwork using World of Warcraft as an example about how different roles help make up for weaknesses of other roles in order to win the battle ahead. All in all i guess it rounded up to how it's better to have a group of people with different skills working together to solve a problem or situation rather than having a group of people with the same skills and abiltiies.
Nobody was interested but my teacher was really interested. He asked me a bunch of questions and i scored an A on it.
Even though my normie delinquent classmates were disgusted about my grade i was still the go-to guy everyone in class would come ask for help with either their computers or homework.

Some Chads called Zoe ugly as fuck when they saw her pic online and started joking about how the fuck she managed to fuck 5 guys and why they would bother, and the teacher straight up called then mysoginistic.

My buddy'd dad wrote a very lengthy dissertation on the economic groups or w/e (not an economist) that crop up in small children when trading cards are introduced for his Master degree/teaching. He specifically used the Pokemon TCG since it was the 90's. Wish I knew where to find it online, great read.

I wrote a paper on simple state AI vs AI that had been "instructed" on genetic algorithms or whatever for a comp sci Robotics and Machine Learning class. Got an A, despite not really asserting any new ideas.
I wrote one about call of duty in the 7th grade.

to be fair, as much as I like Sartre and the literary cannon, it's a bit difficult to find anything new to talk about without going totally off base. Like, shit dude, we've been combing over Shakespeare and the like for centuries. While I'm sure that every generation is going to find ways to relate classic literature and prose to modern situations, it's ok to admit that we don't really need to examine Shakespeare for our writings to be legitimate. I mean, doing an in depth analysis of the new Terminator can yield important knowledge about the world around us and the attitudes that we hold.

You do know that MS Word has a button that literally does everything for you? You click one button to insert in-text citations or entire bibliographies. You can do that in APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.
The difference between the latest two versions of MLA and APA are insignificant. The basic citation style is still the same and you wont notice the difference until you're writing a thesis or journal articles. Your professor won't care if you use the outdated citation style, as long as you properly give credit to your citations.

Yeah, same here. Like, GG was fine when it was about a very small and specific topic. But, as in all things, spergy internet dwellers will take literally any reason they can get to attack women online. Like, I get that SJW shit is shit, but instead of engaging with the reasons as to why that stuff is shit, GG became overwhelmingly saturated with people that think that making rape and/or bomb threats via the internet lends them any kind of legitimacy.

>>317729337
I didn't do anything. LITERALLY
I never asked questions, just sat quiet in my seat during the first week. Then one day he said class attendance wasn't required and that everything was on the class webpage, so I stopped showing up. Completely forgot all about it, and when I went to check my grade at the end of the semester expecting an E, but nope a big ol' 100%.
Clearly a huge mistake, but I'm not complaining.

Wrote a 20 page essay on yume Nikki for a games seminar, got an a
It was about how it used gameplay to convey a meta narrative to the player and in so doing made the depressing elements of the game more relatable by having the player in some small way personally experience them.

It's also downright cringeworthy to see the people still caring about this shit over a year later and building an "identity" around it and acting like they are a noble fighter in a huge epic war or something. Most normal people stopped giving a shit about it a month after it happened, and all that's left is a few neckbearded redditors.
Holy FUCK those are some fucking huge lips. What a fucking shoop, what's the original look like?
Not college, but in middle school I had a 7th grade teacher who'd give us tests every week where we had to take a list of common words from the SAT, define them, and put them in a sentence. I, having been an autistic 12 year old, used to write video game fanfics with the words sprinkled in.

How many purchases did you get from this thread anon?
I wrote a short story in creative writing about a game of Arathi Basin I had.
Somehow I got an A on it and $20 as it was submitted to a short story contest without me knowing.
I remember giving a presentation about how people linked every bad thing their kids were doing to videogames (violence, sexism, etc.) just so they could have a explanation for their behaviour and how similar it was to when people blamed rock music for everything.
BUT I will never forget that time when one of my friends gave a presentation about his dream to become a professional esport playerwhen he was 20 years old
Class called Literature and Music
Wrote a paper about music as a tool of immersion in vidya. Got an A. Talked a lot about Persona 4, also mentioned Mass Effect, Silent Hill, Bioshock, Guitar Hero, andFate/Stay Night.On P4:
>By psyching the player up with the rock version of the song – as well as by having the bosses hurt the player and attempt to halt their progress, as bosses in games are wont to do – the game seeks to put the players in a position to act aggressively towards the shadows. Instead of calmly going over the characters' insecurities, they are guided to hate, just as the characters themselves do. And after the fight, the slow piano and trumpet turn the player in the complete opposite direction, by using the exact same theme to drive home the point that what they should be doing is not acting with aggression, but understanding. The music is used to manipulate the players' feelings towards the shadows, inside and outside of battle.

Nice sword art online plot. What are you doing now with your Degree? I'm in for English myself and I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
I wrote an experimental paper that was made up through posts made on 4chan in every board including nsfw boards. It was basically about how anonymity allows people to express their true, socially unacceptable interests and desires. Also how people find acceptance through anonymity.

>>317730106
I can't tell if you're talking about GG or SJWs.
>>317730106
I feel it. I mean, the problems that it intended to look at are still present and the SJW types that wrote themselves mean comments in the beginning to make assholes think they are in good company never got outed. So, for all intents and purposes, it's still going on, but the fact that people see this whole thing as "noble" or whatever is indeed pretty shit. The only thing that would finish this is to have one of the anti-GG writers suddenly snap and confess in a final article for IGN or Kotaku or whatever and then quit. But, that'll never happen. The ultimate "victory" for anybody that cares about the original principles of GG will most likely come after the vidya industry crash that's on the horizon.

The fact that it could be both says something significant.

Yes but they only find direct or incredibly close copies, thus the thesaurus. Also that didn't exist back when I was in the 5th grade. Still totally works though, just need to make sure you change enough. Bonus points if you interweave the material so it can't match the blocks of info.
I did mine on the ethics of pirating video games, having to analyze the reasoning behind being for or against it, and from a professional's point of view, determine which side was correct.I was for pirating.Got an A-

For the americunts, how much is an A+ worth from 0 to 10 points? B and C?
This always confused me. Isn't an A already the maximum? Or is it 10 with honors or something?
>>317731404
Hey m8, I'm not trying to come off as a genius for saying that both sides of every issue contain idiots, I'm more specifically pointing out that for certain issues, the same rhetoric and phrasing can be used to denounce either side. And that's a bit weird, since you would assume that opposing ideologies or stances on an issue would mean that they can't be equated using the same words. Like, you couldn't criticize the problems with marxism with the exact same set of words you could use to deride capitalism, right? So i'm just saying it's a bit weird that you can do that here.
>>317731818
I literally CANNOT agree enough.
>>317731840

I don't think A+ existed at my college, nor my high school. A was 100.
>>317731840
I haven't heard of a school using the +/- system in awhile, and it's hard to explain it because different schools could use different grading scales. Usually the +/- was just used to denote whether you got a high grade or a low grade in the range. For example:
A = 90-100
A+ = 95-100
A- = 90-95

Hello SJW
Why do you think lying about gamergate so consistently is helping your cause? Do you know that its people like you that makes anyone who considers themselves an anti-GG cringeworthy?
How come you leftist progressives can't shut the fuck up GG? You spend all this time attacking legitimate points that the movement brings up, but you just scream "DAY HATE WOMEN" and defend a pedophile. Embarrassing. You leftist progressive can't get it that your entire worldview is wrong.
