tbh for non-related fields (so non-chemistry heavy majors) i could see it being a thing because you only really need a general knowledge and you're not ever going to use it again they were pushing it for the chem major chemistry lab though and that's just sort of a recipe for disaster

come to think of it a chemistry "sandbox" "game" would be pretty cool and could be a useful educational tool if done right good luck getting the right people together and funding to develop something like that though

p sure trying to hold chemistry lectures in second life is about on the level of teaching physics in garry's mod although the idea of the teacher killing themselves with a bathtub while trying to teach projectile motion is pretty lol

Blackula69 posted:what? that owns lol yup "http://www.shacknews.com/article/46338/alex-st-john-interview posted:id brought Gwar, a pretty unhooked band, they brought in 8-foot tall vagina with a 100 penises hanging from it, OJ Simpson's severed head, all sorts of things among their other costumes. There was a guy with a 4-foot long schlong spraying blood and so forth, and I said, "If we're gonna do this, Microsoft has to suck it up. This is the games industry, let these guys do what they like. We're supporting an open market platform, we're not selling Nintendos where we control what people make, and if people have the perception that that's what Microsoft wants to do, they're going to lose credibility immediately. This is us supporting the game industry, and they're here supporting us."
