Brings back some (painful!) memories of my time spent in the game program teaching trenches but it's brilliant: http://k0k0k0.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/51-things-every-game-student-should-know3.pdf …
@ybika Mmm. "Mob" for NPC is an obnoxious and stupid word, but it originated with developers. (Short for "mobile".)

@chaosprime yup, MUD devs in particular. i think she is pointing to imprecision that may work for conversation/genre but not dev broadly? -
@ybika Kinda seems like she's saying "this is how to talk like a pro and not sound like you're from the MUD ghetto". Which is unfortunate. -
@chaosprime ah, interesting. i hadn't read it that way and sure hope not. but then again, i love muds ;) -
@ybika I went to look at the comments on the containing post; that message was accidental. She didn't know the term was older than MOBAs. -
@chaosprime ah interesting! shame history glitch for her though! -
@ybika *nod* Other than that I love the daylights out of it, though. The "idea guy" slide should be in 7,200,000-point type on the moon. -
@chaosprime heh yupyup re: idea thing. sooooo true.
