  • Ah, the Glorious 1980'S
    Jeff Kirkendall’s Thoughts For The Month Column Thoughts, Opinions, Reviews, Commentary & More! Hello and Welcome! My name is Jeff Kirkendall and I'm an independent filmmaker and actor from the Upstate New York area. This is the section of the Very Scary Productions website where I write about topics related to independent filmmaking, digital video production, acting, movies in general, horror movies in particular, my own indie movies, as well as anything and everything related or in between. I decided to create this commentary page because I find that I often come across things that either interest me, excite me, intrigue me, or maybe just bug me. Any topic related to movies and cinema is fair game, from the most mainstream to the most controversial. For example I'll often read about movie projects that I have a strong interest in or opinion on, for one reason or another. This page gives me a forum to discuss these things. It's all about discussion and furthering understanding of our pop culture. Anyone who has feedback concerning what I have to say here, feel free to contact me (see the contact link at http://www.veryscaryproductions.com/). I'd also like to point out that the following is just my opinion, and everyone is free to agree or disagree with what I have to say. Enjoy, and to all the Indies out there: Keep on Filming! SUBJECT: Movie Review – The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (documentary) Note: The following review of The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters may contain details that could be considered spoilers.

  • Kocurek Dissertation 201221.Pdf
    Copyright by Carly Ann Kocurek 2012 The Dissertation Committee for Carly Ann Kocurek Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Masculinity at the Video Game Arcade: 1972-1983 Committee: Elizabeth S.D. Engelhardt, Supervisor Janet M. Davis John Hartigan Mark C. Smith Sharon Strover Masculinity at the Video Game Arcade: 1972-1983 by Carly Ann Kocurek, B.A.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2012 Acknowledgements Completing a dissertation is a task that takes the proverbial village. I have been fortunate to have found guidance, encouragement, and support from a diversity of sources. First among these, of course, I must count the members of my committee. Thanks in particular to Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt who, as chair, served as both critic and cheerleader in equal measure and who has guided this project from its infancy. Janet M. Davis’s interest in the sinews that connect popular culture to broader political concerns has shaped my own approach. Mark C. Smith has been a source of support for the duration of my graduate studies; his investment in students, including graduate and undergraduate, is truly admirable. Were it not for a conversation with Sharon Strover in which she suggested I might consider completing some oral histories of video gaming, I might have pursued another project entirely. John Hartigan, through his incisive questions about the politics of race and gender at play in the arcade, shaped my research concerns.

  • Everyone Needs to Pitch In”: an Ethnographic Study Of
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School “EVERYONE NEEDS TO PITCH IN”: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF COLLEGIATE ESPORTS A Dissertation in Learning, Design, and Technology by Robert Hein © 2020 Robert Hein Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2020 ii The dissertation of Robert Hein was reviewed and approved by the following: Ty Hollett Assistant Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Simon R. Hooper Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Stuart A. Selber Associate Professor of English Director of Digital Education Priya Sharma Associate Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Susan M. Land Associate Professor of Learning, Design, and Technology Director of Graduate Studies iii ABSTRACT Although researchers have shown interest in videogaming since the early 2000s, the hyper- competitive world of “esports” has received less attention. However, multi-million dollar gaming tournaments—such as the 2019 Fortnite World Cup—now make headlines and spark national discussion. Similarly, colleges and universities have begun offering athletic scholarships to students who excel at games like League of Legends and Overwatch. Consequently, this present study aims to shine a light on the values, beliefs, and practices of gaming’s most “hardcore” players and communities. To better understand how these competitors improve their in-game skills, the author adopted a “connective ethnographic” approach and immersed himself in the day-to-day activities of a collegiate esports club. This process involved attending club meetings, interviewing members, and participating alongside players as they competed with and against one another in the game of Overwatch.
