That commercial actually ran here, but hey, don't worry.. There's always Phoenix University to trust for a great, cheap education.
Oh wait.. (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/24/education/24colleges.html?_r=1&ref=us)


Article
Among Phoenix?s online students, only 5 percent graduated within six years, and at the campuses in Cleveland and Wichita, Kan., only 4 percent graduated within six years.

?For-profits proudly claim to be models of access in higher education because they willingly open their doors to disadvantaged, underprepared students.? said Jos? L. Cruz, a vice president for the trust. ?But we must ask the question, ?Access to what?? ?

If video game design was that easy then the world would eat, breath, a live video games.

If you think it's easy, it really isn't at all. :eek:

So according to you guys. The commercial that's focused on convincing you to come to their school, should make it look like video game creation is hard? That wouldn't be a very good commercial. -.-2011-01-21 04:15:00

Instead of going on about how incredibly easy it is to make games for the entire commercial, they should have actually promoted their school and talked about the benefits of going there.

Umm, pretty sure :18 - :30 is all about their school and the benefits of going there. Logically it's impossible for them to tell you all the benefits of going to their school, it would take much too long.

I don't know how the commercial is a "disgrace" the only bad part of this commercial is the horrible acting and the "game" they're designing doesn't even look like a game. However the promotion for the school is just like every other commercial out there. All commercials bend the truth a little bit, incase you haven't noticed.

And to be honest, the commercial doesn't even aim on how easy it is to make games, its focus is on how "easy" it is to become a game designer at their college, which again, is very good promotion.

But that's WHY it's a disgrace - The acting is just horrible, and that is not how you design games lol...

No. I'm just wondering how the commercial is different then any other commercial you see on the TV. They're all the same, they make things seem easier then it actually is.

It should have showed some skinny guy slumped over a keyboard surrounded by empty cups of coffee with "failed to compile" displayed on the screen.

I remember watching this advert a really long time ago. I'm not sure there are any good game design schools in Arizona.2011-01-22 21:25:00
