| Topic | Video games with viruses? |
| TestaALT 12/20/20 1:03:15 AM #43 | 008Zulu posted... Out of curiosity, what will the focus of your paper be about?That is really the question. Right now, it's a survey of viruses in games. I'm trying to get a larger picture of how game developers think of viruses and how gamers generally interact with them. If I can get "an about," it's definitely a good, top-tier paper since it's so timely and relevant. If I can't though, I can still probably fit it in a second-tier journal, get lots of citations because it's about viruses in gaming, and no one would be the wiser 10-20 years down the line. |

I don't know how much use the actual "virus" would be since the plague isn't all that important, but the Culling of Stratholme might be useful.No that's really useful! One of the people who could review the paper loves WoW stuff and has written research on similar WoW-specific things so it may be useful to add as a note |

And speaking of Warcraft, there's the whole Corrupted Blood thing.Yeah that was definitely a big part of it and why it may work as a paper, since there were a few scholars who published about the Corrupted Blood. I remember I got corrupted blood in WoW when that happened years ago. In a starting area. |

| Topic | tfw you're an adult and realize Mr. Feeny is a better teacher than Mr. Turner |
| TestaALT 12/19/20 6:41:33 PM #26 | SMAP- posted... Adulthood is realizing theyre both better than any irl teacher could be and went above and beyond for their studentsThis one really hit home. If only teaching were like they portrayed in Boy Meets World. New teachers could get 1 bedroom apartments in nice cities and have so much free time they can talk to their students for hours a day |

Since I spent all my life writing guides on GameFAQs, my neck has poor forward posture. I had to make sure to never move my neck while doing any sort of weight lifting. |
