Jour 4250: February 22 Lecture

I was extremely impressed by all of the presenters in class today. I felt that Addley Fannin did a terrific job, and was so creative. During her presentation, I began to think about why there are so few video games targeted for women, and why so few women were quoted in the gaming publications. Is it because women's motor skills aren't as developed? Because women don't find entertainment in violence? Because women have better things to do than play video games and complete levels? All of these reasons could contribute to this theory, but more importantly, how do men find time to do these things? I find it outrageous to think that so many men will neglect life and social responsibilities for a trivial video game. I haven't done my research, but it makes me wonder.
