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 However, these terms are saturated with outdated stereotypes involving gender, age, and class.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.

  • Creating a Virtual Training Environment for Traffic Accident
    Creating a Virtual Training Environment for Traffic Accident Investigation for the Dubai Police Force Ahmed BinSubaih Doctor of Philosophy Department of Computer Science University of Sheffield October 2007 Abstract This research investigates the use of gaming technology (especially game engines) in developing virtual training environments, and comprises of two main parts. The first part of the thesis investigates the creation of an architecture that allows a virtual training environment (i.e. a 'game') to be portable between different game engines. The second part of the thesis examines the learning effectiveness of a virtual training environment developed for traffic accident investigators in the Dubai police force. The second part also serves to evaluate the scalability of the architecture created in the first part of the thesis. Current game development addresses different aspects of portability, such as porting assets and using middleware for physics. However, the game itself is not so easily portable. The first part of this thesis addresses this by making the three elements that represent the game's brain portable. These are the game logic, the object model, and the game state, which are collectively referred to in this thesis as the game factor, or G-factor. This separation is achieved by using an architecture called game space architecture (GSA), which combines a variant of the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern to separate the G-factor (the model) from the game engine (the view) with on-the-fly scripting to enable communication through an adapter (the controller). This enables multiple views (i.e. game engines) to exist for the same model (i.e.

Cloud Gaming ist ein Dienst mit dem Ziel High-End Videospiele auf Low-End Ger¨aten wie Fernsehern, ¨alteren Rechner und Macs als auch mobilen Endger¨aten wie Smart Phones unter Verwendung von Cloud Computing verfugbar¨ zu machen. Die Funktionsweise wird erl¨autert und die drei bekanntesten Anbieter OnLive, GaiKai sowie OTOY vorgestellt. Ferner werden die Chancen und Risiken der neuen Technologie aus Sicht von Spielern und Entwicklern bzw. Publishern er¨ortert und ein Ausblick auf die weitere Entwicklung dieser noch sehr jungen Anwendung von Cloud Computing gewagt. W¨ahrend in anderen Industriebranchen Outsourcing\ l¨angst allgegenw¨artig ist, " blieb die IT lange Zeit davon verschont. Mit seiner serviceorientierten Ausrich- tung der Angebote ist Cloud Computing der logische n¨achste Schritt zur Indus- trialisierung der IT Landschaft. Sowohl fur¨ die Anbieter als auch fur¨ die Nutzer der Dienstleistungen bietet dieses Konzept viele Vorteile gegenuber¨ den beste- henden Strukturen. W¨ahrend sich SaaS, PaaS und IaaS zu etablieren beginnen hat eine weitere Branche die Vorzuge¨ des Cloud Computing fur¨ sich entdeckt: die Spieleindustrie. Diese hat sich das Ziel gesetzt High-End Spiele auf ¨alteren PCs, Macs und sogar mobilen Endger¨aten wie Handys unter dem Begriff Cloud " Gaming\ oder auch Games as a Service (GaaS)\ verfugbar¨ zu machen. " Die Projekte welche sich anschicken dieses Ziel zu realisieren sind bisher allenfalls im Beta-Status. Das hat leider zur Folge dass tiefere Einblicke in die Architektur verborgen bleiben.
