At the time this video was produced there had already been a great deal of television produced talking about the “benefits” of gaming. This video was designed to be critical. Insert Coin has no obligation to be “objective” and does not seek to be. The main purpose is to encourage gamers to think critically about video games without dismissing the importance of video games in their lives. Keep the comments coming. Thanks.

What a sad kid at 9:55, with some crappy parents. This video clip is sorely dated though. All of the games shown here are games I played in middle-school, back in the N64 days. Presently, the gamers of that time have now become the parents and know more than their parents did on the subject. Therefore the marketing field can widen and the ratings will actually mean something and be understood by the adult consumer.

lol. i thought that chick with the nose ring was a dude. I hope I don’t come across a chick like that when I get hired. and yeh, video game testing can be some boring shit, but compared to other jobs, it can definitely be fun. just be prepared to work 100 hours a week playing one level when deadline comes around.

QA is a full time job, any in house tester will need to have at least an engineering degree and know some programming language.

i know cause i made a remix of need for speed soundtrack nfs2. i called it burnout eliminator theme. its a long soundtrack one of my best mix. if you whant to hear let me know so i can e-mail it.unfourtunatly i can’t put it on youtube because of the lenght of it. flimsy from nfs 3 is so cool. there is 7 artists that made the soundtrack.
its awesome.just sucks that ea stoped doing their own music.with that new wave of using pop music in games. it all started with nfs underground.
Hey there it’s …
Hey there it’s actually not a rip off. For the documentary we received licensing approval for the use of image and sound from Electronic Arts video games. Good on your to spot that we used the sound track from Need for Speed.
Cheers

i dont approuve …
i dont approuve your point. when youre young your brain assimilate almost any ideas.thrown at it. thats why you need to be strong psychologically.or either have a very education. just tell your self.”in a perfect world how would you educate a child.”dont wait for it to happen it won’t.
most parents that …
most parents that says that game are pointless and boring is because they did not even try playing. video games are arts. using electronics. games are the ultimate products that can be made on a computer.
you have pictures,videos,interactivity and competition. thats why they are so much popular.
the backround …
the backround soundtrack is a ripoff of need for speed 2. the old one
not underground 2 or hotpursuit 2. just 2
Kids and teens play …
Kids and teens play violent video games so they won’t have to do the things in real life.
Take for example, grand theft auto. You get to just off buildings and hijack cars all you want in these games, and kids do them in games so they wont kill themselves from jumping off building and get arrested for hijacking.
I plan on living alone, so game testing will get me enough money. If it doesnt, i’ll just deliver for papa johns as a second job.
