threeplusfireA message from my friend Kevin -
So it's four days before the end of the quarter and my group has disintegrated into me, a webform, and three guys with barely enough motivation to feed themselves. I've given up on the last three, but I'm trying to milk that webform for all it's worth. I was wondering if you, Alan, and your legion of online enthusiasts and role players would like to fill it out. It take about 10 minutes if you think too much, but the results will be going directly to EA's creative director. With solid survey data, impressive gameplay simulations, and a strong presentation, the instructors may be willing to overlook the complete absence of actual user testing.

For everyone on the friendslist with an interest in gaming, please take give minutes from your day and answer these questions. Help some exhausted grad students finish their project! It's fun and the concept is hilarious. I can't believe Kevin is showing this to EA and I would so play this game.
Feel free to also pass it around on your mailing lists and your own friendslist this weekend. Post this everywhere!
Kevin is working on his PhD at Stanford in their learning design and technology program right now, and is currently going to school to make better video games, improve educational software and generally make the world a much cooler place. We've known each other since high school when he would sit on the counters and I was a gawky, terrified journalism student. Kevin is the single most interesting person I've ever met. He's smarter than I could ever dream of being, and insanely clever in unique ways. For those real life friends, he's a lot like Gene. (Damn it Gene you had better come down here for Christmas so I can introduce the two of you again.)
