Where Fun Never Dies!
The term “research” comes up a lot:
And none of your friends or family believe it’s research.
…
You’re not sure you believe it either.
As previously mentioned:
You’re not sure if your fellow students are just playing games or if they’re doing “research.”
But it gets really confusing when you’re not sure when you yourself are doing research or playing games…
If people don’t know you, they’d never believe you were talking about your homework:
“How is your game coming?”
“Check out this awesome bug feature!”
“Should we call them ‘Mages’ or ‘Wizards’?”
“It’s like asteroids, but with boats!”
“Let’s go to the arcade Thursday after class.”
“Do you know if they need more play testers?”
“Our professor is meeting us in the lab Friday night to play some games.”
Life is rough. 🙂
It’s 1am and you’re not sure if you’re staying up to research a game, if you’re just playing, or if it’s just so you don’t have to go to bed like a normal person. Er, of course it’s for research…
You love all your homework assignments, but there’s so much to do you’re not sure where to begin!
You tired. You hungry. There’s only three more hours til dawn. You’re still having fun, but yo grammar is out the window…
Your obstacles to the work are insomnia and hunger pains. (Credit to Binoy who told us this in a stand up meeting for Rapid Prototyping!)
You’re seriously contemplating the meaning of play and the definition of games.
People ask you what you’re studying, and you instantly become the coolest person in the room; unless there’s another MSEAE student. In which case you bask in the coolness together.
You’re not sure if your fellow students are just playing games or if they’re doing “research.”
