L337 SOCCER MOMS CONCEPTIONS OF “HARDCORE” AND “CASUAL” IN THE DIGITAL GAMES MEDIUM by STEVEN BOYER Under the Direction of Ted Friedman ABSTRACT As digital games have become increasingly significant in the entertainment media landscape, the terms “casual” and “hardcore” have become the primary ways to describe gaming audiences, genres, and gameplay. However, these terms are saturated with outdated stereotypes involving gender, age, and class. Focusing on industrial discourse, this thesis examines this dichotomy, emphasizing areas of discontinuity and overlap to question why these terms have become so ubiquitous in gaming discourse and what functions they fulfill for a variety of groups including the industry, advertisers, and audience members. Ultimately, I suggest that these terms need to be replaced in order to move beyond restrictive stereotypes, proposing a new framework for digital games that takes into consideration user motivation, personal investment, and historical specificity.

  • A Content Analysis of Advertising in Popular Video Games
    A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF ADVERTISING IN POPULAR VIDEO GAMES PETER G. LINDMARK Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts Hiram College July, 2007 submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS IN APPLIED COMMUNICATION THEORY AND METHODOLOGY at the CLEVELAND STATE UNIVERSITY December, 2011 APPPROVAL PAGE This Master’s thesis has been approved for the Department of COMMUNICATION and the College of Graduate Studies by ___________________________________________________________ Thesis Chairperson, Dr. Paul Skalski ______________________ Department and Date ___________________________________________________________ Dr. Evan Lieberman ______________________ Department and Date ___________________________________________________________ Dr. K. A. Neuendorf ______________________ Department and Date DEDICATION To everybody who has helped me on this marathon of a thesis, thank you all very much. This would not have been completed without each and every one of you. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge Dr. Paul Skalski, Dr. Evan Lieberman, and Dr. Kim Neuendorf, my thesis committee. In addition, I would also like to acknowledge all of the research that has come before this study and made this possible. A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF ADVERTISING IN POPULAR VIDEO GAMES PETER G. LINDMARK ABSTRACT There have been a plethora of analyses on the effects of and brand image of advertising in video games, but a dearth of analyses simply examining the role advertising has played in video games over the years. This study seeks to add to the available research on this topic. This study has yielded a great amount of information which should have pre-dated any analysis of the effects of advertising in video games, or brand placement and recall, and certainly any analysis on purchase intent as a result of interacting or observing brand or product placement in video games.

  • OBJECTIVE to Use My Skills in Lighting, Visual Effects, 3D Modeling
    OBJECTIVE To use my skills in lighting, visual effects, 3D modeling, and texturing, to help create AAA-class titles with a talented, creative team. OVERVIEW Over 18 years of experience in 2D and 3D art creation in the game industry. 21 game titles shipped. Passionate about games, strong work ethic, good team player, willing to relocate. WORK EXPERIENCE December 2011 to Present: Psyonix I am currently working at Psyonix, a San Diego based game company, doing lighting and FX work for titles using the Unreal 3 Engine.
