Hey I just remembered...

I have designed two board games and a card game. One board game is pretty good, the other needs work and the card game is not bad.

If anyone who knows me out there wants to try them out, let me know.

Could you describe them more?

This isn't the best forum such discussions.

Nor is it an appropriate reply to Dustin's message

It's interesting they should say that. They're among the most repected devlopment houses out there, and their flagship game revolves around shooting aliens in the head

Is the comment posted meant to reflect disdain for a game that involves shooting aliens in the head? I don't want to argue until I know for sure. (Then again, this was posted... oh... a YEAR ago)

Anyway, for people who stumble on this in the future - video games are, IMO, simulations of their chosen designs. Carjacking, shooting, dressing up people, or painting on blocks can all be as entertaining as the last, depending on how well it is done. Usually judged by entertainment value, not by blood, guns, language, or (as used to be the case) graphics. However, all of these things can be a positive.
I also disagree with the brainwashing tripe. It may condition, but not influence, without prior mental deficiencies.

Oh well - if you were convinced by me, chances are you get your information from the media, rather than experience.
