Comment on Lack of Motivation and the Graduate Male-strom by Hannah

Hannah — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:21:23 +0000

I found this article really interesting – just this week a friend of mine who is currently recruiting was comparing the quality of recent graduate CV’s – all of the female applicants were above and beyond any one of the males. He was surprised at such a clear divide in CV quality across so many people, but maybe this echoes the HEPI study results?
Thanks for a great article.

Comment on Is a Tattoo For me a Taboo For You? by shalx

I respect what you say, and totally agree that for most people a tattoo represents a milestone in a lifetime, but as for myself it is a totally different story.

I had always wanted a drawing made by me on my body, and decided to do it not as a change in my life, but when I landed on a proper occasion, in this case my mom offered it to me as a graduation present (I had no money to afford it myself then).
I made it in a place where it doesn’t show, on the top of my left buttock, as in my opinion only the people I pick deserve to know me well. It is a way of keeping surprises open, and opening when I decide it, choosing who I allow to know me really. My attitude is my real tattoo – and as convinced as I am about my values and what I stand for, that’s the reason why I can choose to adapt to a situation.

However, recent major changes happened in my life, and I know I will get a new tattoo sometime soon. Not because those changes occurred, as I wouldn’t know how to artistically represent them, but because I have changed and have added bits to my personnality. In this case though, it won’t be a quick drawing I made during CRM class, but a nice piece, and probably in a more obvious place – but not too obvious either. Just because it is what I’ve feeling like for this one.
And who knows? Maybe in a few years from now I’ll get an even more obvious one :]

What I know is you change through life, and you just have to be proud of what you do whenever you do it – whether it’s a tattoo or ordering those damn french fries in the cantine.

Cheers

Comment on Women, Myths & Video Games – What do (gaming) women want? by Marion

Hi Fi,
Thanks for your comment.
I agree with you – there is an assumption that women cannot be as good as men at video games. This is because of men’s pride but also women being afraid to be good at something seen as a “guys only” thing. It’s such a vicious circle! Hopefully we’ll break it!

Comment on Women, Myths & Video Games – What do (gaming) women want? by Fi

I agree that female gamers should be considered more in game devlopment, my fear is that the automatic response to this identified need would be more pink/”girly” insipid games (which seem to be in abundance on DS). I don’t want something designed for women as such, but something that doesn’t appear to be aiming to exclude them.
An obstacle I often find is that there’s an assumption that, as a woman, you aren’t ging to be very good at console games, and there’s a pride issue around being “beaten by a girl”!
I have to admit, some games that are clearly & overtly targeted at boys/men don’t necessarily appeal to me… and of course there’s the fact that few (if any) team sports games on consoles include women players (football, basketball etc). I can only think of tennis, olympics etc that include women characters, and even then it’s highly unlikely a male opponent will agree to play a female character.
Personally, I enjoy the Sims & tycoon games (on PC). On DS I play puzzle, card & board games, Wii sports & sports resort mostly (and beat the guys) and on PS3/PSP I play tennis, Call of Duty/Medal of Honor, Lara Croft & Unchartered (a thinly disguised male version of Lara, presumably to catch all the men who don’t want to play a female character).
I would love to see historic games, perhaps Napoleonic versions of CoD and perhaps games that allowed a degree of exploration of historic environments. I feel gaming has, as yet, missed an opportunity to exploit the possibilities of historic virtual environments
