Reflecting on Our Career Exploration.

I thought our visit to Electronic Arts was okay. It wasn’t really what I expected. I think our tour guide was in  a rush, so we didn’t get to have time to any hands-on work. We didn’t really get to observe the actual making of a video game. The employees that worked there had many benefits. They had a full sized NBA court, a tennis court, a gym, and an arcade room. Too bad they didn’t let us use any of them We didn’t get to interview that many people. When we were asking questions, I think they knew what they were talking about even though they weren’t prepared. I thought the explanation of how a game is made from the start to the finish product was a good presentation. I really wanted to see a game actually being made in the process. I thought were were going to be able to eat at the food places that they had over there, but we didn’t. I think my favorite part of the trip for me was the the game store. They gave us employees discounts on games that would be priced at 50$-60$, and we only payed 10$-20$. I got a basketball game called NBA Live 2010. I think we were only there for about an hour and a half. I wanted to stay longer and do more activities like play in the arcades, but we weren’t able to. We should’ve have been able to interview more people than just the tour guides, because I think that if we were able to interview actual employees we would know a lot more information that what the tour guides and the presentation gave us, also in more detail. By giving us more detail, we would have a better understanding of how video games are made step by step.
