a little kid I was interested in video games. I wouldn 't say I was ever addicted to them, although I do play video games quite frequently, but ever since I saw my friend pick up a GameCube controller I was interested in the way video games work. Video games fascinated me, I wanted to understand how they operated and how they were made. That curiosity holds to this day, I want to understand how the technical aspects work, how to code them, and about the games as an art form. That same drive and
though I found solace in the female video game characters of my childhood as these icons of Amazonian womanhood, with age I have come to realize that many of these female characters often rely on dated stereotypes.

Nebraska isn’t the metropolis for technological employment like this, thus I would have to relocate to somewhere along the East or West Coasts, where jobs are more available than they are in the mid-west. This is due to the fact that a lot of the Game Publishing companies, such as Blizzard Entertainment, Monolith Games, a subdivision of Warner Bros. Entertainment, require an applicant to work on-site

told that we can create these brains and apply them to many other video game antagonists, like the ghosts from Pac Man or even the opposing team in Madden? These “artificial brains” are a product of a technology called artificial intelligence (AI). AI in video games can be applied to nearly anything, such as a boss as big as a city to a bird soaring in the sky.
