  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • Virtual Reality, Goggles and All, Attempts Return 29 March 2013, by Derrik J
    Virtual reality, goggles and all, attempts return 29 March 2013, by Derrik J. Lang are going to be able to do cool things," said Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey. "This is the first time when the technology, software, community and rendering power is all really there." While VR technology has successfully been employed in recent years for military and medical training purposes, it's been too expensive, clunky or just plain bad for most at-home gamers. Oculus VR's headset is armed with stereoscopic 3-D, low- latency head tracking and a 110-degree field of view, and the company expects it to cost just a few hundred bucks. This publicity image provided by Oculus VR shows a virtual reality headset. The virtual reality headset, the doodad that was supposed to seamlessly transport wearers to three-dimensional virtual worlds, has made a remarkable return at this year's Game Developers Conference. After banking $2.4 million from crowd funding and drumming up hype over the past year, Oculus VR captured the conference's attention this week with a virtual reality headset that's more like a pair of ski goggles than those bulky gaming helmets of the 1990s. (AP Photo/Oculus VR) It's back. The virtual reality headset, the gizmo that was supposed to seamlessly transport wearers to three-dimensional virtual worlds, has made a remarkable return at this year's Game Developers Conference, an annual gathering of video game makers in San Francisco. After drumming up hype over the past year and banking $2.4 million from crowdfunding, the Irvine, Calif.-based company Oculus VR captured the conference's attention this week with the Oculus Rift, its VR headset that's more like a pair of ski goggles than those bulky gaming helmets of the 1990s that usually left users with headaches.

  • Mario Luis Ramirez STS 145—The History of Computer Game Design
    Mario Luis Ramirez STS 145—The History of Computer Game Design Prof. Henry Lowood March 15, 2002 Galaga and Vintage Gaming: A Look at Galaga’s Place in the Classic Gaming Industry Because he was speaking in the early videogame days of the 1980’s, it is likely that even Steven Spielberg did not fully recognized the weight of his statement when he said that “The aliens have landed, and the world can never be the same again” (Amis, 7). Commenting on such early games as Missile Command and Space Invaders, Spielberg understood that these early “shooters” had infiltrated American pop culture in such a way that whether directly or not, the lives of most Americans after the 1980’s would be influenced by games such as these. 20 years later, his statement continues to ring true today. However, it not difficult to see that most recent videogames look considerably different than their predecessors of the 80’s—technological advancements have changed the face of gaming. Yet, as the Namco Arcade web page points out in speaking about the classic games, Galaga and Ms. PacMan, “These two games are unquestionably the two longest running hits in the history of videogames! After 20 years, they are still a ‘must have’ for all locations” (www.namcoarcade.com/nai_gamedisplay.asp?gam=mspcglga). One must wonder then, what is it about games such as these that continue to make them popular—why is it that in the face of clearly superior graphics, sound, and interface 1 options that primitive games are not only able to coexist, but continue to bring in profits for manufacturers and arcade operators? After conducting much research, including a variety of interviews with those involved in the classic gaming world, it certainly seems that the answer is rooted in the simplicity and nostalgia of these games.
