As many of you know, Dave Arneson was a faculty member at Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. He taught game design courses there between 1999-2008. Well, it turns out that he has a fair number of reviews on RateMyProfessor.com that are pretty entertaining to read: CHECK THEM OUT. A lot of them are pretty harsh, so idolators beware... No chili pepper for Dave. I always wanted one of those myself.
A few quotes:
"Dave spends all class talking about how Lara Croft is hot and how The Sims was the greatest game ever invented. If you come in late, he will give you chores to do (like do inventory on his D&D board game)."
"A living legend. Imagine Santa having had a bitter divorce. "
"Great class if you want to hear about Lara Croft and The Sims. News flash, Dave, D&D sucks!"
"Dave Arneson was one of the most unique teachers I've ever had. He was the most egotistical, grouchy, and senile old man I've met. "
"The class is useless, it's just there to make the D&D nerds happy."
Good find! That's pretty hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAt least some of them were having fun. I bet Tolkien's classes were pretty dry.
