  • The Only Game in Town V4
    This Tuesday, It’s the Only Game in Town #gamers4her Sunday, November 6, 2016 (updated Tuesday, November 8, 2016) We, the 378 people signing this letter, make many of the games and puzzles you play. As game creators, we call on game players all across this great nation to make the best move on Tuesday: voting for Hillary Clinton. Today there are more great games around than ever before, so we know you have options, but this Tuesday we need everyone to join in on the finals of the presidential tournament. Whether you’re a dice chucker, a card slinger, a meeple monger, a puzzle solver, a button masher, or a keyboard clicker, we need you in the game. Let's take a look at the players. Hillary Clinton is the aunt who bought you your first box of Dungeons & Dragons because she heard it promoted literacy and problem solving skills. She’d rather be a healer, but she’ll be the tank when she needs to. She knows that characters of any race or gender should qualify equally for any class, without level limits or ability score penalties. She counts the pieces before you start assembling the jigsaw puzzle. She settled Catan before anyone else thought it was a good idea. She likes co-op games because she knows we’re stronger together. Donald Trump is the disruptive sort of player that no one wants at their game table. He tries to take your turn for you in Pandemic Legacy. He solves crosswords incorrectly in pen—in your copy of the magazine.

  • Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames
    Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames by Michael Hancock A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Michael Hancock 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Much of the videogame industry is based around a model of technological progress, whereby developers, individual videogames, and videogame platforms are lauded as superior based on their engagement with the latest, cutting edge forms of technology. As a direct consequence of this focus, sophisticated graphic-based representations are often employed as a yardstick for technological superiority, as it is a form of advancement that can be discerned by the naked eye. The focus on graphics has a number of consequences: it presents past videogames as inferior realizations that pale before more modern approaches; it favors image-based representation over other representational forms such as text; it enters videogames into a broader, ongoing debate in Western culture regarding mimesis and representations of reality that pit image and text against each other. An alternative to the graphic-dominated history of videogames is a variantological approach, in which marginalized and past forms of representation are not seen as dead ends and failures, but as variants that offer alternative perspectives.

  • Wednesday, 25 June 2014 for IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [email protected]
    Wednesday, 25 June 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [email protected] Bear Weiter Joins Monte Cook Games as Art Director Monte Cook Games, LLC, the company behind the Origins Award-winning Numenera roleplaying game and the upcoming The Strange roleplaying game is very pleased to announce that Bear Weiter is joining MCG as Art Director on June 30, 2014. Throughout his career, Weiter has demonstrated a keen eye for bringing a clear vision to projects and a passion for good design. “We were so fortunate to have an amazing slew of candidates for this position– overwhelmed really–so narrowing it down to the right person was hard,” said Monte Cook. “We've worked with Bear on other projects outside of MCG and we know how very talented and dedicated he is. We can't wait for Bear to get started and to bring his vision to MCG products.” “I'm super excited to join MCG,” said Weiter. “It's always been a dream of mine to work in the gaming industry, so to be about to embark in this new direction–fulfilling a dream, working with a great team, working with great illustrators and art–it feels incredible to me.” Professionally, Weiter has worked in the design and graphics world for 20 years, with a wide range of experiences: production work, graphic design, interactive design and development, illustration, animation, and beyond. In 1997 he started his own design company, Wombat Studios, through which he and his business partner handled a variety of projects and clientele—he became sole owner at Wombat in 2008.
