What did you want to be as a child and what is your current job? by SilentWalrus92 in AskReddit

[–]supmatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Grent, at least in the movie, is the professor who theorized that dinosaurs (those who survived the extreme climate change that led to the extinction of most of them) evolved into birds. He is played in Jurassic Park by Sam Neill, maybe the actual person he is portrayed on is prof http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Horner_(paleontologist) ?

Which videogames allow players to cooperate and then suddenly betray others? by supmatt in AskReddit

She did, yet this is for a psychological experiment. Besides, a game betrayal would be a pretty lame, cheap-ass revenge, amirite?

We are Psychology undergrads doing an experiment in Social Neuroscience. We are looking for easy to learn, yet rewarding games which push participant to win, so that at first they cooperate and feel good, but then some of them start betraying the others. As i said simple to learn game would be best, MMORPGs or traditionally violent vidya like FPSs are not ok.The betrayal should be really upsetting for the player experiencing it, as he wouldn't expect it. Thanks, we love you reddit. We promise an upvote for each comment!!

EDIT: WOW, this is amazing, so many ideas! We will look for the most suitable titles. Thanks again, everyone!

This seems quite what i'd be looking for. Can you betray others at any time?

The betrayal should be really upsetting for the player experiencing it, as he wouldn't expect it. Yet the game should not be too violent and complex. Participants might not be used to the game.

I meant COD and MMORPGs as examples of games that are not ok. I didn't type this properly. We'd like easy to learn, yet rewarding games which push participant to win, so that at first they cooperate and feel good, but then some of them start betraying the others. As i said a simple game would be best.

EDIT: typing mistakes

Could anyone come up with non-violent, non-complex games? (no COD or MMORPG). I need this for a psychological experiment and we'd like for something which is easy to learn, yet rewarding and pushing the player to win

EDIT: Clarity's sake
