Your subject it not controversial at all, its just a comparison between Games and VFX. Now there is little difference with the way the work flows go for either of the 2 sectors (and VFX is learning a thing or 2 from gaming ATM) i think it would be pointless to do this subject (sorry).

Why not talk about the way parents blame the games and movie industries for the wrong actions of their children, it comes down to the violence factor again, but if its written with both viewpoints given objectively it could make for a good paper. You would make 6 pages easy on this topic and it is one that will not die (for the foreseeable future).

thanks for the links, they are pretty funny on what the "experts" are saying, they need to do their homework a little before they start to blame everything on games. the only way dr phil can get away with what he is saying, is that he uses alot of words so ppl forget what they he is saying.

Do what you like, like what you do.
