Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? That is the question this writer used to ask daily as a child. Join him as he talks about one of the greatest "edutainment" titles ever.
The actress behind the character was kept a secret. This is her first interview about playing Carmen Sandiego.
This is interesting, didn't know the actress who played Carmen was kept secret. I was just a kid at the time, used to watch the game show and cartoon show
beautiful story I love hearing about interesting stories that relate to my childhood
When non-gamers complain that there's nothing for them in today's world of video games, we should consider listening. This opinion piece takes a look at some common complaints against gaming culture and suggests ways to improve the industry and the public perception of video games.
Because games aren't just entertainment, they're the next evolution of media that is on the verge of being accepted as such. Just like when cinema was first introduced to the world.
The ubiquity of stereotyped portrayals of men in a wide range of games should be critically examined. If the gaming public desires change or the improvement of characters, then understanding how they're represented would be the first step toward prompting changes from developers.
Lol.
I'm all for the analysis of topics that need be studied, but I am a little lost on this one. Is it something more than the fact that until recently, the industry has been dominated by male players. It is changing and females are slowly being represented, so why does everything need to be pushed forward. It will move on its own, especially as more and more females become developers.
And...money. As it becomes more profitable to feature female heroes and villians, we will see more. It's quite simple, most villians are men b/c most gamers have been male in the past. As an addendum I would like to add this. Imagine if a game in the last 10 years decided to break the mold by making a violent, evil female villian. OMG...the outrage that would ensue.
Maybe I'm not thin-skinned, but I can't think of a time I've been offended by the portrayal of a man in a game.
One of the main differences between men and women IMO, men generally don't give a f*** about this sort of thing.
Women get all jealous that they are fat and complain.
How do you say: "How do you say?" in Swahili?
Oh wow, Carmen Sandiego. Who owns this IP and why aren't we getting a new version?
