Did not find anybody who has mentioned gaming as a hobby. So started this thread in order to discuss possible questions and answers. Please contribute.
I find RTS game particularly "Age of Empires" very fun. It teaches me effective resource management.
for how this hobby is going to help in administration i thought of the following 1. It teaches 'patience and perseverance' because we always tend to replay some levels even if we fail a hundred times in order to finish the game or reach the next level 2. It teaches one to think ahead and also develop our strategic planning i.e., as you have mentioned resource mgmt.
if they ask what games do you play? I usually play fifa, shooters and role playing games like assassins creed. But do you all think its ok to say i play Call of Duty or Battlefield etc. or should i restrict myself to strategy games and Fifa(other hobbies i've mentioned are 'playing and watching football' and Chess as my other hobbies).
Thanks man. But my doubt is, would it send bad signal if I say I am into shooters and role playing games?
In my opinion, it depends upon the interview panel. On one side, the panel may appreciate your frankness and give you some extra marks for that. It may also backfire, if the panel has got some pre-conceived notion and are not open-minded towards the concept of pc gaming. At the end however, a smart person can always turn things to his/her advantage
Interviewers are always open minded and knows more than what we can ever imagine about every field ...they can relate gaming to practical aspects like 1. Its effect on children. 2. Mobile gaming business now a days. 3. What is constructive use of gaming. 4. Piracy in Gaming.
Interviewers are always open minded and knows more than what we can ever imagine about every field ...they can relate gaming to practical aspects like 1. Its effect on children. 2. Mobile gaming business now a days. 3. What is constructive use of gaming. 4. Piracy in Gaming.
Reasons for piracy in gaming 1. High taxes make the games expensive and above that in India parents consider gaming as a waste of time and money 2. Delayed launch of games in India compared to US and EU 3. Slow internet connections are a hurdle in experiencing benefits given by game publishers online 4. Lack of availability across all towns and cities
What can be done to reduce it? 1. Reduce taxes 2. increase availability of games, increase internet penetration and speed 3. Take legal action against grey markets I have another question. If they ask 'Have you ever purchased or downloaded a pirated game, movie or song?' What should be our response?
Everybody rips movies, games etc. from the internet should we say yes i did!
