Braid results

Remember that poll I did on the video game Braid? It was here: http://juldea.livejournal.com/1248166.html. I compiled my results

Yep! Even if these results had shown any kind of crazy bias among women, and even if they were statistically significant and had shown some kind of crazy bias against women, every person is different. No assumptions made on MY part, at least. :)

Sadly, your sample size is too small to be terribly useful, especially for women.

Still, the difficulty of finding a representative sample of women who played Braid is its own important datum.

Hence "this doesn't really mean anything." I'm aware that there's absolutely no statistical validity in the above. It was just a little thing to do for curiosity's sake.

Ah, I read a question mark on that sentence. :P

[juldea]

Ah, my writing style is unclear. Sorry about that! That sentence was supposed to come in a bundle with the next. More like, "Does this mean anything: I have no clue."

It may also be the case that you're less likely to finish the game if you don't have exclusive use of the gaming system, and women are more likely to be sharing a console or whatever. My not losing interest was definitely related to not getting to play the game for a while due to other demands on the system.

Again I was momentarily excited because I thought this was a hair post. :P

I've never heard of this video game before, but I like puzzle games. I will check it out.
