No. Jezebel wouldn't touch mind-numbingly trite sexist horseshit like this.

I regularly taught a college class on Cold War culture with Fahrenheit 451. Students today are stunned that someone 60 years ago could foresee the dulling impact media can have on our political sensibilities. He was a visionary.

I teach a college senior capstone course with 25 students in each section. At the beginning of the semester I ask them to raise their hands if they expect to live with their parents after they graduate. Of the 25, I usually get two or three. Haha.

SEPTA has allegedly been rolling out these "Silverliner V" trains for like three years now. I'm on the train at least once a week and I've been on one of these things a total of three times. Seriously, there's like one in operation.

Victory.

I'm sorry. I assumed that was the purpose of Kotaku. I didn't realize this had become a space for thoughtful intellectual discourse. I'll make my way back to 4chan and leave Kotaku to the academicians.

So your argument is, "They're not as whorish as some really whorish shit I've seen, so they're not sexualized." That's a good argument. Solid.

What's up with the sexualized sixth-grade characters? Gross.

OMG Owen I'm in love with this. Thank you, a million times over. There's so much more to say about the disgusting connections within the gaming-military-industrial-entertainment complex, but this is a damn good start.

Can we talk about how cover letters for academic jobs are, on average, two pages? Who reads that shit?

It's a good point. If we're making parents responsible, we should leave it up to them whether or not their children play "violent" games. Let's not pretend like American culture doesn't glorify violence in every other medium outside of games. And I feel like a responsible parent can find plenty of ways to encourage…

Wow— you must be really important to hold the Endowed Professorship of Logical Conclusions. Which university do you teach at? What have you published?

The "Made-to-Order Back-of-the-Box Quotes" feature is completely insufferable. It's like grading your own paper. Rather embarrassing.

Can Kotaku please provide this "Eric Jou" with an editor?

What is a "postmodern sofa cushion?" That's a new one.

"I hope you get a suicide bomber as a Christmas gift"

Making the transition from CD to mp3 was logistically much easier. I spent a few days ripping CDs to mp3s and dropped all those discs on Ebay (which actually paid for the iPod, way back when).

I read the article fine the first time and I never said anything was getting dumbed down in the gameification process. But what is happening is that instructors are crawling over each other to teach to the students' level— "they like games, so I'll make education a game"— rather than demanding that they learn that…

Maybe the problem is that you're a marketing student. It's a worthless degree.

As an educator I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand, anything that gets apathetic students engaged is worth considering. On the other hand, it's another example of lowering education to the student's level rather than demanding that the student live up to higher standards. I see it at the college where I teach…
