Interesting study on MMO game histories. Hopefully Aion can kick this problem: Terra Nova: The History of Virtual Worlds

[Red_Bear]

We had somebody in a presentation give some statistics off that study, mainly about the sales between PC and Video Games. (Anyone whos seen my other post; these were the reason for the kilo of cds)

Quite impressed that the Gender Divide was only around 5%-10%
Thought lady gamers were some form of rarity.

Lol i used the same site as research for a presentation i did recently in University. Some rather odd stuff in there.

[Red_Bear]

Lol Koji I dare you to post the video you made for the presentation about the Online filters, that video was genius :P especailly seeing you get shot through the Head on your Scoutzknives server :P

[Koji]

That was a mint video i'll have you know. And do you know how hard it is to narrate without stammering, move, shoot, surf and type without getting killed on that server. Plus everyone pestering me. "Admin kick him!" "Admin knives plz" "Admin (sound french language sentence i cant understand). If there is demand for it i might for the festive season.

I did it all aswell and the PC we were doing the presentation off was utter gash and it wouldn't even buffer the damn video...GOD!!

[Cruzader]

Damn, alot of female's play games aswel, that blew me away

[shulei]

Nintendo did make a pink DS lite :x

[Mark]

I think Shulei with the nail on the head. Not to mention Kingdom Hearts for the cheaper-than-sin PS2. Gaming is more accessible than ever nowadays.

[Koji]

I'm putting the video up just for Red Bear, it is the season to be jolly after all. Just needs uploading. For anyone else watching i had to did a presentation on Safety online. I got the video game section so this is explaining about Bad Language and racist remarks while playing games and how developers block it out and everything. Good fun and you get to see my characters and hear my nice Northern English Accent ;). Watch this space.

Here is it

I still laugh that sony are releasing PINK PS2s and 3 to try entice female gamers, the obvious reason why the Nintendo DS worked was because many of teh games have a E rating so kids are fine palying them, I tihnk most girls wating to buy a PS3 arent goign to buy one because its pink to play things like MGS4.

"Honey isnt that game a little violent, why dont you play with your nice pink console."

"I am, I'm playing on my pink ps3."

Winner cheers ozzie. I reccomend everyone watch Kojis video :P

An interview with Kojima after MGS1:

Quote

We ran a survey with a group of people who don't normally play computer games... and a group of high school girls participated. One response stood out: "I hate games about stupid old men! So useless! I can't stand it! No way would I buy a stupid game like this!"

The team became very depressed. So (Kojima) and Shinkawa (character artist) tried to think of a way to solve this problem, and came up with Raiden.

Found him a little annoying in MGS2 though I did enjoy all the cracked out Raiden vs Snake videos. I prefer the ninja zombie we seem to be getting in MGS4. And the robots that moo xD

Koji I hope you prepared subtitles! it is really weird how anywhere north of London sounds like a foreign country to my ears xD;

[Koji]

Lol. I thought someone would say that. Sorry i dont have subs prepared...i did have my script somewhere but can't find it. Londoners make alot less sense than we do...all that cockney slang and whatnot. Saying that we have some.

"Yer 'avin a giraffe aren't ya" - Your Having a laugh aren't you - You must be joking (We slang our slang...oh dear)

"ere mert" - Here Mate - Coming over here friend.

"now then manhead" - Hello

"avin my eyes out arent ya" - Having my eyes out aren't you - You are joking arn't you?

There are plenty more but yeah...You get used to it.

Here is some over dubs of TinTin done by a guy from Middlesbrough. This is actually how alot of people talk...i don't...most the time.

Loved the GW bit, I actually discovered with a group of friends that GW censors out "Sega".

*Also very nice accent* ;)

Quote

Women over the age of 18 represent a greater portion of the game-playing population (28%) than boys from ages 6 to 17 (21%)

Interesting, I know my Alliance on GW has more women over 18 than boys who are under 17.

[WNxAnger]

These are interesting indeed, I may have to share this with some people

TinTin

Dont lie Koji, you speak like that all the time, infact you are manhead!

As for the GW censoring we found it hillarious that they named a character Quimang then had the word Quim censored so whenever it appeared in text it would be ****ang

You have to love GW for their censoring.

[Koji]

LFG Quim's last stand was a the shout but ended up LFG ----'s last stand. Still people seemed to understand. Good times.
