The camera wasn't close enough to his face for me.

I like it. I wish colleges would use video games in their study methods; it'd make learning a lot more fun. although it would be a challenge to create such a game (even a crappy game) for many subjects and have the games be effective in teaching as well.

@gunscankillyou All the games they showed are freeware games so they wouldn't have to worry about copyright infringement (although they did show some sort of Metroid clone, but I guess that's fair game).

[@masterquest91]

Can someone identify the games used in the footage? (Specifically, the Metroid clone)

[@Sirus20x6]

If I understand this correctly; playing video games makes me a scientist, and I don't

@MinimumOverkill Wow, thanks
