Digital Press Issue Villains. Editor’s BLURB by Dave Giarrusso DIGITAL reetings, gang! Welcome back for another heapin’ Ghelpin’ of Digital Press goodness. Or badness, since this issue is all about villains! If you’ve been with us for a while, you might remember that we devoted issue #37 to the videogame heroes. In the interest of equal time, we fi gured we’d better get crackin’ on the evil-twin counterpart issue. In the movies, we often see villains who are much more interesting than the PRESS heroes. Star Wars had Luke and Anakin, but everyone wanted to BE Darth Maul or Darth Vader. Everyone, including Anakin himself! Whether or not it’s the promise of unlimited power or those nifty black outfi ts is anyone’s guess. DIGITAL PRESS # 53 In the land of videogames though, it’s typically the heroes who get top JULY / AUGUST 2003 billing. Pac-Man stars in over a dozen different games, but the monsters are Founders Joe Santulli just part of the supporting cast. Pengo kicks so much Sno-Bee ass that casual Kevin Oleniacz gamers don’t even recall the Bees. And really, Donkey Kong was much more Editors-In-Chief Joe Santulli charismatic as a villain. You probably already see where I’m going with this... Dave Giarrusso Sometimes you’ve just gotta be BAD. Whether your stepping into the virtual Senior Editors Al Backiel Jeff Cooper shoes of Donkey Kong, Shang Tsung, Tommy Vercetti, or the Olsen Twins, being John Hardie the bad guy is often much more fun than being the hero. Sean Kelly So here there ya have it, gang. Grab a pizza and an ice-cold soda, kick back Staff Writers Larry Anderson Ian Baronofsky and join us while we BRING ON THE BAD GUYS!

  • 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.

First, a couple of definitions… Procedural refers to the process that computes a particular function Procedural content generation generating content by computing functions Procedural techniques in other domains Landscape generation • Fractals (terrain) • L-systems (plants) • Perlin noise (clouds) Procedural techniques in other domains Texture generation • Perlin noise • Voronoi diagrams Procedural techniques in other domains City creation (e.g. CityEngine) Procedural techniques in other domains • Demo scene: 64 Kb / 4Kb / 1 Kb intros • .kkrieger: 3D first person shooter in 96K from Farbrausch Procedural content in games A few examples: • Sentinel • Elite • DEFCON • Spore • Love Present in some form or another in a lot of games What does that teach us ? Procedural content generation is used: • due to memory constraints or other technology limitations • when there is too much content to create • when we need variations of the same asset • when the asset changes depending on the game context What does that teach us ? • Data is created at run-time • Is based on a set of rules • Is controllable by the game engine Defining Procedural Audio For sound effects: • Real-time sound synthesis • With exposed control parameters • Examples of existing systems: • Staccato Systems: racing and footsteps • WWISE SoundSeed (Impact and Wind / Whoosh) • AudioGaming Defining Procedural Audio For dialogue: • real-time speech synthesis e.g. Phonetic Arts, SPASM • voice manipulation systems e.g.

    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.
