Week 1: Game design is the basic building blocks of most if not all games, as all games use some type of mechanic to make the game work. Game design is normally misused and it gets mistaken for art or programming witch are also important aspects of digital games.
Week 2:Prototyping is normally the heart of good game design. its a creation of a working model of the idea that allows you to test it and make improvements to it. Game prototypes, while playable, usually are a rough sketch of the finished product. Week 3: Chance is a type of mechanic used in games, It is mainly used in board games as they involve dice and random card drawn to how you win the game and involves little to no skill to play them. Week 4:Constraining and modifying game play after getting feedback on what doesn't really work Week 5: Luck is the main mechanic of board game people always complain about it like "if i rolled a 10 i would of won". Week 7: Game concepts intellectual property is very important to game developers as that is there life that the have created and dont want others to take credit Week 8:Simulations are based around real life guidelines and policies some are fun others are not so much fun as just boring piles of nothing, but simulation is changing to become more absurd and stay relevant to gamers. Week 9: the three player problem occurs when an odd amount of people want to play it can throw the balance of the entire game out like with table tennis you dont want three people playing as someone will have no one to help them. Week 10:social games are popular as people want to feel as apart of the community, it gives people the advantage of having friends all over the world. Week 11:adding mechanics is great for games in the prototype stage while getting feedback on it but not taking out old mechanics can screw the game.

Is Australia’s ‘Refused Classification category for Video Games treating Adults as Children?12/15/2015 Games, Games are great, they are fun,exciting,scary and sometimes just plain boring to play but what happens if the game gets banned because its "too violent" or "sexual"?
people start asking why is it banned we are not 12 years old that need our parents to hold our hands saying no to everything that doesn't seem right to them. the reason behind games getting banned or restricted is because of parents buying their kids any games they want and then see the kid playing that game, then go and complain that an M,MA or R rated game is not sutible for their child because it has one nudity scene in it. If parents controlled what they brought their child/ren their would be complaints and if they do buy it its their god-damn fault. So back to restricted games these games have been restricted because they were either too violent had drugs and/or sex but one game that wont be completely restricted is GTA it is too popular and well known by everyone. These games have been looked at by the classification group and said nope that is too violent and has drug abuse. They are treating us like children because of stupid parents that dont know what the classification system is, So if you have a 12 year old kid LOOK AT THE F**KING RATING ON THE BOX FIRST! Addiction thats a weird way to describe it, A better way to describe it is compulsion.
Compulsion with video games is a massive "problem" for gamers as we forget to do things like : chores, eating, sleeping and interacting with others. There are for some reason some people belief that by us not doing jobs we have an addiction if we forget something. It only happens with most of us if we get hooked into a game and it is normally a new game. Addiction/Compulsion can happen mainly on MOBAs, these gamers are obsessed with the game and play for more than 10 hours up to 23 hours without doing anything else for the day, they also start to ignore family and friends to play their game and start failing at everything else. this can be cured by friends and family contacting you and forcing you to interact with real people, another way for this to be cured is go cold turkey so no internet or games for a long time. Gender is a well known fight against gamer's and producers alike for the female gaming population, problems that females have against female characters is that the are always wearing skimpy clothing, not being able to fight aka damsel in fucking distress again for example Mario saving princess peach from Bowser for the 50th time, the problem with that is because in the Mario party smash, Peach beats everyone up including Mario so she could easily defeat Bowser by herself but because of gender bias "It's not allowed". Then there is the skimpy clothing guess what WHO SERIOUSLY GIVES A FUCK!! Have a look at men as well, No one cares what they wear which is normally shorts and fucking muscles so fucking huge no-one would ever get that big (other than Arnold Schwarzenegger) well normal people that play video games and aren't being a bodybuilder in their free time and even then they don't get close. So yes game characters are really bias on both side of the gender except no one cares what the man is supposed to look like.
Now to just the bias of gamer's in general and this does come from a female friend gender bias has gotten that bad from gamer's on no matter what console it is, there are snarky comments on that they shouldn't be playing this game or that game and they should be making sandwiches instead, It has gotten really bad because of pig headed little twats that have never had a girlfriend or a sister to know how good they actually are. So how about instead of making issues of these facts we all just enjoy video games and stop acting like spoiled twats and get along with one another Here's a Skit from collage humor about gaming females rising up against the twats of the male gaming population. https://youtu.be/AQnIJ-ljctk and how female Armour sucks https://youtu.be/OTGh0EMmMC8 Yes the debate on violent video games is a big and long running debate between gamers and most of the world, there are always groups saying video games cause violence and its mainly the religious and government types that have no power that always argue that the massacres across the world mainly in the usa are caused by gamers that play games like call of duty, halo, gta and battlefield, When the statistics say something different about the crime rate of these gamers, here look below to see. what i believe with these violent video games is that they are helping teens stay off the streets and cause less havoc and destruction of all kind including murders. there are stories out there blaming video game violence when the kids where actually on drugs for psychosis and other mental Illnesses and they also played video games, but that's not the point im trying to make is that these children where off there drugs when they committed a murder or multiple and these people are trying to blame it on vedio game violence witch funnily enough has dropped the crime rate as the graphs stated above. this is the link to the picture
