I see an article like this every year or so.

I already knew that. Good article though.

Speaking of problem solving, there should be more games based on real life problem solving. That would be the ultimate educational game.

You have 300 computers to manage.

60 of them are in the west building, 30 are in the east building and the rest are in the north building.

10% of them are podiums, 20% of them are classroom machines, and the rest are cluster based lab stations.

You must deploy software to them and restrict them using Group Policy Objects.

Begin.

Oh wait... that video game is my job.

That would so be the greatest video game ever. It would teach you important skills for a career in computer software installation and networking or something like that. What do they call that? Information Technology? Something like that?

So basically you want a text book in the form of a video game?

That would be hella sweet. Hands on training from a video game. And with the internet a real person could actually be teaching you. So it'd be training software disguised as a video game.

I don't know, Grand Theft Auto has taught me a lot. I don't want to go back to games like Anticipation anymore...

GTA thought me ever one is a prick,and that I should play it when I'm mad not going out and running over people in the real world (which is overrated I mean how many people play in the real world any more?)
