I know a couple of kids who would probably thrive in that environment. But what seems to be the biggest deciding factor (aside from basic intelligence) is whether the teacher is a good salesperson. Excited kids have more fun learning and when they realize they’re having fun, they repeat the experience.

On the family’s former Windows ’98, my older brother used to play Final Fantasy 7 (as well as Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine; I did Lego Racers).

You mean I read the whole comic for nothing?! Thanks a lot Peter.

Haven’t learned to block out what your brother is saying yet?

Is Jason’s Math Wizard named Euclid or maybe Pythagoras?

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

And the line to buy the game will stretch for… Will Marcus be the line, or will Jason have comped him a copy?

I would love to see someone develop a good game based on the immune system. I know there have been a couple of attempts, but to do it justice, it would have to have the complexity of some of the top-line games around.

Anyone else get the feeling that Jason pretty much described life at Hogwarts?

Is he describing Hogwarts?

Has Jason finally reached peak geek?

Finals Fantasy is where they drop out of school and form their own companies. Only the smartest can play

That sounds an awful lot like school to me! What is an MMO video game?

Who is the biggest geek? Jason or Marcus

I would have thought that final character Jason designed would be a mathemagician…

“Finals Fantasy” got me pretty good.

I wonder how many teachers will have this printed out in their rooms, because of course he’s describing school itself.

Um, Jason, this sounds an awful lot like school to me.

Smart Peter.

Make a real game of it, and plenty of adults would buy it for their kids / grandkids

Isn’t that basically Fire Emblem: Three Houses (but with no swords)?

I like the idea.Thing is, try selling it to a software company.

Why don’t you sell it to Nintendo? Probably would get a huge profit on it. It’s just like Animal Crossing NH, it would make the top 10 chart.

Hello future me

This actually seems like a great idea.
