Be A Game Designer

[ttmab7]

@Dbot101 Well you would know that if you'd gone to Westwood College Online.

[MrKryonix]

Game testers don't design games face>palm

[KaliumMusic]

I thought graphics were made by, you know, artists, and that games was designed by programmers and the games are tested by a dozen people meticulously trying out every possible little thing there is to do in a game while documenting even the smallest glitch or error they find, from actual programming errors to little things like stretched textures.

Thank god Westwood College Online taught me the truth!

[gokilofazza]

0:14 And then he gave him that really fucking gay look...

[NirvanaKC001]

She told me I would never get anywhere playing games. I told her they would never find the body.

[QWERTYCommander]

So THAT'S how it works! I thought that you programmed and designed with a keyboard/mouse, and tested the game by trying to find every single bug possible. Silly me!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go tighten up the graphics on level 3.

[KalCounty]

Video games are all completely designed and tested by two people sitting in a hallway.

[junkietomato]

FUCK YOU MOM, LOOK AT ME NOW.

[poniesinashed]

Why isn't it intended for people from Texas or Massachusetts?

[RoyStorey]

Ahahah, I loved how X-Play would rip on this commercial.

[ExploitedYouth87]

I used to tighten up graphics on level 3 like him, then I took an arrow in the knee.

[Sonofdracula1]

@ExploitedYouth87 so damn funny man lol you're so original you should be a comedian!!! Flash news dude, that's a month old joke :)

[ExploitedYouth87]

@Sonofdracula1 You're right, let's try something new. Knock knock.

[james90751]

dammit i live in texas :(

[D31C1D3]

oh so this is where "tighten up the graphics on level 3" came from

[bob789456]

A day in the life of working at Infiinity Ward

[masonbehnke]

I remember this commercial. my god

[Ulitmadusk]

"Yeah! You hear me mom?! I got SOMEWHERE playing these videogames! I'm fucking attending Westwood College. So fuck you, MOM!"

[AliceWake]

Totally Legit.

[Cheese71]

HAHAHA. These guys have like 5 different roles at this studio. What is this, a start up?

[Imootosan]

This is EXACTLY what our jobs are like. Oh, wait.

[semiserioussam]

NO TEXANS ALLOWED!!!

[randompersonB]

My hair is looking FAAAAAAAABULOUS

[donthateme1210]

Scott Fisher.

[GustavoMsTrashCan]

....and right now, the requirements fell to only 3 braincells and other little bit of knowledge required.

[GunGuy0]

who let her out of the kitchen?!

[KirkNeddy]

This commercial is one of the largest running jokes in the gaming industry.

[killamonkey]

"And by tighten up the graphics we actually mean they fucking suck, do your damn jobs"

*brofist*

[boitahaki]

your mom was right

[jslbrt]

One of the guys is dead now, RIP :(

May you tighten up the graphics in heaven.

[brett84c]

@jslbrt dude, this comment had me laughing so hard. Props!

[companymen42]

go to college and get an engineering degree and then you do the stuff THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE GAMES!!!, like space travel, or iron man suit

[ThePerturabo]

She doesn't look happy with them. They're not going to survive the layoffs.

[TheClassicalSauce]

Gotta tighten up those graphics, bro.

[LegendaryGoldDragon]

DON'T EVER EVER EVER GO TO A FUCKING ITT TECH SCHOOL

FOR THIS! IF ANYTHING GO TO A FUCKING STATE SCHOOL FOR THIS,

MOST STATE SCHOOLS HAVE WHATS CALLED A VC PROGRAM.

DON'T GO TO ANY SHITTY TECH OR TRADE SCHOOLS YOU'LL REGRET IT!

[somad91]

How exactly are they "tightening up the graphics" holding a controller each?

[zibafu]

@somad91 they were bullshitting their boss I think

[LordKinoda]

@somad91 Haha I've seen this one awhile back. Silly. Wondered the same thing myself about them tightening up graphics with the console controller, heh. Suppose it's a good thing though, lets you know they probably don't know jack shit about game design.

[iandohme]

Anybody else think the guy in blue looks like Channing Tatum?

[hadomaru1121]

"Finish testing that game yet? I've got another one I need designed."

Is this where they develop CoD?

[oaksheri]

Rofl. Not only a girl game designer, but she's also the boss. This spot is too much.

[NintendoArielle]

@oaksheri What does her being a woman have to do with anything? Can't we just concentrate on how horribly the commercial butchers game development as a career. It's people like you who make gamers look like misogynistic assholes.

tl;dr: Yes, women design games and are even bosses! GASP!

[oaksheri]

@NintendoArielle Cupcake, gamers ARE misogynistic assholes. Get with it.

And it's pretty obvious that there are women who design games -- titles based on Hannah Montana and Twilight don't just make themselves, you know.

[NintendoArielle]

@oaksheri You're right, muffin. A lot of gamers *are* misogynistic assholes. However, I've noticed that developers generally aren't. Maybe you should become enlightened and start treating people with dignity.

Women aren't the only ones who work on licensed games like Hannah Montana; most of those designers are *men.* They make them because they're hired to. They don't have a choice. You do what you have to do to make a living.

[Whiskcat]

It's Harry and Lloyd!

[TwojPytajnik]

What is this ''eenywhere'' he speaks of?

[whitefalcon79]

You know your scam is a dumb one when even Texas doesn't fall for it.

[perun1nj]

This makes me ashamed of the gaming culture at large.

[jmrwacko]

And my mom said I'd never get ANYWHERE with these games.

"Hey guys, finish testing that game yet?"

SHUT UP, MOM!

[DinosaurPirateX]

WHAT

THAT'S NOT HOW IT FUCKING WORKS



[bewareofsnow]

Guys, have you finished testing that game yet? We just had 3 kilos of raw Videogame delivered and we need someone to design it before it expires.

[Imatrollyay]

Have fun playing level 3 over and over for hours on end and finding every menial mistake and glitch!

There is no job that allows you to play video games. You can test early stages of them in an incredibly mind-numbing manner, but you can't really play them. They want you to think that you can, and it's the greatest job ever, but it's not the way the world works. If it seems like it's too good to be true, it probably is.

[1tracklover]

@Imatrollyay "There is no job that allows you to play video games." UberHaxorNova and the creatures disagree...

[The505Guys]

Bill and Ted must be waiting outside for these guys...

[drplbiftin]

'tighten up the graphics!'

[Brainstrain]

MA and TX have extremely tight level 3 graphics due to overreaching legislatures ("Carden vs. Konami, 1986" and "Long & Partners vs. Zombies Ate My Parents! 1996").

[MarkCameron]

Yyyeah, those graphics? Yyyeah they need to be tightened up a bit. So if you could go ahead and tighten them up, that would be greeeat.

[Neverhoodian]

*Sigh*

I remember when the word "Westwood" was synonymous with excellence. Then EA happened.

I thought things couldn't get any worse. Now after viewing this, I know I was wrong.

[onlynormalperson]

Finally something that Massachusetts and Texas have in common,

[pokerguy94]

GTFO Texas and Mass

[HypersonicHero]

GREAT. (soul stare)

[TomDarkwulf87]

Nothing is worse than when marketers think they know "game speak".

[VideogamesAreSerious]

Glad to see Westwood has up to date Playstation Ones.

[MushroomGalaxy69]

"We need to tighten up the graphics a little bit" .... What the f

[tyrongkojy]

So the artists, testers, coders and developers are all the same people? No wonder there's a job crisis in America! If only they gave each person one of those jobs, your problem would be solved!

[speckyprick]

I don't think I've played a game in the past 10 years that had a 'level 3' except Angry Birds lol.

[AnimalBK1]

So this is what Luke Skywalker was doing in between movies 5 and 6...

[detBits]

As a game designer...The things they just said... *facepalm*

[antagonist42]

"I can't believe we got jobs doing this."

You mean you got paid for your piss-poor excuse for "acting" in this horrible commercial?

[tyrongkojy]

@antagonist42 Don't ahte the actors. They just want the paycheck. They know their lines suck. Blame the director and writer. There's only so much an actor can do, sometimes.

[Riddicard]

Hey look! It's Falco Girgis on the right!

[masterchief3k]

i remember this commercial lol

[BurningSt4R]

The one on the right is now dead. R.I.P

[SpookyAC130Spectre]

@BurningSt4R whats the story behind this? how did he die?

[superdogbiter1]

fucking cracked

[sbrooks187]

LOL Game testing is apparently a shitty job irl.

[mohawk1020]

Westwood says fuck you Texas and Massachusetes

[TheDamnedOCRemix]

Tighten graphics.

Get respect from boss.

Fuck yeah.

[onlyadot]

Yeah because testing in alpha is so much fun!!! and you don't have to take notes or look for bugs, you just play the game! >.>

[obbma4ler22]

pffffffft if game testing was really like this, EVERYONE would be one.

[fr3d420]

Id tighten up HER level 3 graphics. (and I'd probably stick my penis in her vagina as well)

[idlewild]

"Not intended for residents of Texas or Massachusetts."

[LondonGuysVids]

"not intended for residents of Texas or Mass"

Yeah, probably because they have laws that prohibit these scam universities/colleges.

[fuduzan5562]

@LondonGuysVids All Texans are fucking retards. I'm sure that figures in as well. Wouldn't explain Mass though.

[phail555]

@fuduzan5562 If they are so fucking retarded, then why do they have laws prohibiting this kind of bullshit?

[peteypiranha128]

@LondonGuysVids

Thank god I live in Mass.

[bobbinsthethird]

This is how westwood tested games

[Doyubi]

Respect WLDFLD's authority. Do you have any idea who's requesting you to change the title?

[WLDFLD]

can you please change the title and/or tags to include "westwood college commercial." this took almost 10 minutes of searching to find!

[darkspinesonic5]

oh wow 10 minutes!!!

[WLDFLD]

It's true, 10 minutes is not a lot, but compare it to the 2 seconds it should have taken. 10 minutes is a thirty thousand percent increase.

[raphrobbins]

I am a game designer myself, and I have to say, they really got it right. Kudos, Westwood College Online.

[ashleyshadows]

Actually testing a game thoroughly is an important stage of developing a game, but still this commercial is just plain stupid.

[mikeadamwoods]

Theres more to it than this, you don't make a game by playing them...This is fake advertisement.

[Yabuturtle]

True. It would be better if they advertised it for game TESTERS, but for designers they should show a little bit of them designing levels and stuff.

[mcvibe]

good what i would give to do that

[Cistane]

hahahaha

[ultradoug]

lmao
