You are a saint. I was curious what they meant by "commercial" video games. I was expecting real video games like Quake or Witcher but instead it's what you'd expect to be used to measure IQ - puzzle games, some of which mimic questions on regular IQ tests. Not as exciting as the abstract leads you to believe.

I haven't a credit card, i am a penniless person studying on a public university that does not teach (almost) anything good, and wants to become a game dev based on free software philosophy, currently researching about edutainment and... zomg... you pwn, thanks! really thanks! every article i want to read about this, is via payment only, so it is becoming really hard to research about this subject :( but today, you saved the day!!

  This just might make your life easier: when you encounter a paper you want to read, but it's behind a paywall, post a request to https://www.reddit.com/r/scholar https://www.reddit.com/r/scholar (the instructions are in the sidebar, make sure to follow them closely to get a speedy reply). One of the kind souls there who have access to the article will give you the link.

  I don't know what specific university you're going to, but many university libraries have free access to journals for students. You should do some research on your school's library's website.

    Sad that we need to research how to get access to research. How much impediment to the progress of the arts and sciences should we allow copyright to impose?

Fuck mega, for some reason they require flash to download a file? Doesn't sound very trustworthy.

  Use a different browser.

  Use Chrome. Best thing to do is to download MEGASync for Windows or Mac OS as then it makes everything straightforward.

Fuck yeah! You rock! (also, didn't need anything weird to download, it was a straight HTTPS transfer over 443 for me)
