Games That Teach a Skill

There's already stuff like Typing of the Dead, or even a small shitty game like the flash I'm posting. Gamification could be a nice thing if it wasn't encouraged by agenda pushing fucks and instead it was done by passionate people who want to teach stuff to kids and adults.

What's the deal with gamification anyway? I see lots of posters for seminars about it in town, but I don't understand why it's being pushed so hard or what the purpose of it is meant to be.

It's a new unexplored way to teach stuff. And I mean unexplored in the sense that we never got a decent game by a decent developer trying to teach a skill.

So you learned meaningless trivia.
This reminds me those kids who learned shooting from CS. Went into the millitary and fired automatic from hip level, without using the shoulder stock, dislocating their shoulders in the process.
It has to be knowledge put into practice if it is related to practical things. Otherwise it's just living in the books.

Yeah a person who does that has much bigger problems than thinking they learned how to fire a gun from counter strike. To do something that stupid you'd have to be mentally unsound, especially when the military teaches you how to hold a weapon. A person like that should have been aborted when their parents found out they were retarded. Shooting a gun is not hard, don't kid yourself. Everyone and their Grandma in the south can do it.

I suppose so. I can't really remember any educational games that made a meaningful impact. I'd give it a bit more credibility if there was actual proof of gamification being a useful thing.

It did make me look up channels and articles that deal with the topic and it's coming in useful in my game dev pursuits, since I incorporate the stuff I learned into the gameplay mechanics and overall portrayal of firearms. Trust me, I'd put it into actual practice and make it a hobby, but europoor laws are draconic to the point where it's not worth it.

Someone post a video of that idiot (Not Ben Kuchera, another idiot with the same game) playing that VR shooting game and being shocked to learn the bullet in the chamber doesn't disappear when you remove the magazine.

Fucking women lack the basic spatial awareness to go past you without hitting their bag into you, even if you are twice their size amd all the space around them is free.
Millitary guys fuck up majorly all the time with injuries.

If I use your logic on mental soundness I'd have to scratch off 80% of the world as retarded.

That's kind of neat. What kind of stuff does he import? Just about anything or does he keep it within a general area of interest, like books or video games?

That does not disprove anything.
