I actually uploaded the linked video as a bit of constructive criticism of the somewhat annoying March 4th "Day of Action" protests on campus. I can't get behind closing off streets in demonstration as a way of addressing the high student costs of education when I haven't yet expended the option of digitally pirating said education.
I think this video is a surprising dense sample of what students are exposed to in our intro game design class. If simply viewing this video, for free, on your own computer gets you to think a little more deeply and objectively about game design, then I am successful. I have just reduced the average cost of education through rational, non-destructive means.
Hm... this is a very interesting argument. I'm up at UCSC, and so this is a relevant comment for me. I'll bring this idea up at the University Café tomorrow. (Kresge Town Hall, 6:30)
