Hey Dtoid! Help me pass college!
covah | 1:55 PM on 03.24.2008 38 comments


So I have a speech class I have to do, sucks I know. Within this speech class I have to give speeches and the next speech I'm doing is going to be about the game ratings system, AKA how some want them to be government regulated, Jack Thompson, mass effect, manhunt, yadda yadda yadda. For this speech I need to collect data by giving a survey and because I go to a school with liberal arts "Im going to be the next Steven Spielberg" douchebag film kids, I felt like I should ask people who actually know something about games. So I made an 8 question survey which for 7/8 questions are just yes or no that I need to be answered. This litteraly will take a minute and if you have the time and complete it I'd be very appriciative. and please serious responses only. thanks.

SURVEY HERE

(I would of put a college related picture up but I typed "college" into google and got pictures of blowjobs so since I'm in class right now, I'm not shifting through those.)

Googling "college girls" turns up even better results, BTW.

I'll take your survey and answer the hell out of it.

Done, and why doesn't anyone bring up Condemned 2 when discussing violent games. That game is twice as brutal as Manhunt 2, but I've heard nary a whisper against it.

Except Rev. Ant.

I took your survey, but it seems extremely biased. Especially the last question, where nobody would say that games have affected their mental state or outlook on reality, because even if somebody were messed up by video games, he probably wouldn't know it, or he wouldn't blame it on the video games.

That is, unless he's being put on trial, then of course it's the video games' fault.

Done, good luck with your class I know how hard it is to get survey/questionaire data from college kids!

I took it, hope it helps.

Echoing what Dexter said though, if you're actually being graded on your survey there are some fairly serious design problems. In addition to what's previously mentioned, the "carding" question is flawed because some of us (like myself) are over 18 and would never get carded in the first place.

If you're just using the data for a speech though, you're probably fine.

Dexter brings up a valid point. It seems that all of our answers will be for the most part the same save for 1 or 2 questions. You may want to balance the questions out a little more.

Done. I've never been 'corrupted', but I've been inspired by some concepts in games to look at things differently.

Dude, I'm 26, have a full beard, and some of these punk-ass kids still card me for games.

They just want to know if you could buy alcohol for them in exchange of in-store discounts or some swag.

@liquid ninja
nope, I'm going to school to be a video editor, general education classes suck

@blehman
Yeah condemned 2 is gory, but I needed something like Manhunt 2 that had people up in a frenzy for examples and what not

@Dexter
Well I didn't mean it to be, I guess it just turned out that way. Its meant to be a survey for gamers so I just asked basic questions and surprisingly enough, 3 people so far have said that games have fucked up their morality or whatever I asked, if those are jokes or not who knows.

And yeah the survey isn't graded so thats why its not too detailed. But thanks to everyone who took it, I got a shit load more results than I thought I would get in the short time since I've posted it

Seriously, Not enough hypothetical situations in that survey. And question 8 is a really biased question. Any how, hope the survey helps.

Hope this helped dude. Although as others have said this is pretty biased and I'm not really sure if it'll really help you prove your point or simply leave you open to criticism.... but anyway good luck!
