  • Emerging Leaders 2011 Team G Selection & Purchasing
    Emerging Leaders 2011 Team G Selection & Purchasing Selection When selecting video games for a library collection, consider the following criteria: • Type of collection (e.g. circulating vs. non-circulating or programming collection). • Audience for collection (Is the collection for entertainment purposes or academic study? Will games be collected for children, teens, adults, or a combination of these?). • Curriculum support. • Game ratings. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) gives each game a rating based on age appropriateness. Ratings include EC (Early Childhood), E (Everyone), E10+ (Everyone Ten and Older), T (Teen), and M (Mature). More information can be found on the ESRB website:http://www.esrb.org. • Game platforms. Games are available on many different platforms (e.g. Wii, PlayStation, etc.). Librarians will need to consider patron needs and budget constraints when considering which platform(s) to purchase for. As newer platforms are developed, consider whether to collect for these new platforms and whether it is necessary to keep games that are playable on older platforms. Conversely, platforms affect collection weeding; the Collection Maintenance section provides further details. • Collection of gaming items in addition to actual games (e.g. game consoles and accessories, game guides, gaming periodicals, and texts on the subject of games and gaming). • Reviews and recommendations for which games to purchase. • Qualities that make a game culturally significant.

  • The Gamergate Controversy and Journalistic Paradigm Maintenance
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ The GamerGate Controversy And Journalistic Paradigm Maintenance By: Gregory Perreault and Tim Vos Abstract GamerGate is a viral campaign that became an occasion, particularly from August 2014 to January 2015, to both question journalistic ethics and badger women involved in game development and gaming criticism. Gaming journalists thus found themselves managing a debate on two fronts: defending the probity of gaming journalism and remediating attacks on women. This study explores how gaming journalists undertook paradigm maintenance in the midst of the controversy. This was analyzed through interviews with gaming journalists as well as a discourse analysis of the texts responding to GamerGate that were produced by their publications. Although gaming journalists operate within a form of lifestyle journalism, the journalists repaired their paradigm by linking their work to traditional journalism and emphasizing a paternal role. Perreault GP, Vos TP. The GamerGate controversy and journalistic paradigm maintenance. Journalism. 2018;19(4):553-569. doi:10.1177/1464884916670932.

  • Can We Save Video Game Journalism? Can Grass Roots Media Contribute with a More Critical Perspective to Contemporary Video Game Coverage?
    Fall 08 Can We Save Video Game Journalism? Can grass roots media contribute with a more critical perspective to contemporary video game coverage? Author: Alejandro Soler Supervisor: Patrick Prax MASTERS THESIS: TWO YEARS MASTERS THESIS | DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATICS AND MEDIA | MEDIA & COMMUNICATION STUDIES UPPSALA UNIVERSITY | SPRING 2014 Abstract Video game journalism has been accused for lack in journalistic legitimacy for decades. The historical relation between video game journalists and video game publishers has always been problematic from an objective point of view, as publishers have the power to govern and dictate journalistic coverage by withdrawing financial funding and review material. This has consequently lead to lack in journalistic legitimacy when it comes to video game coverage. However, as the grass roots media movement gained popularity and attention in the mid 2000s, a new more direct and personal way of coverage became evident. Nowadays, grass roots media producers operate within the same field of practice as traditional journalists and the difference between entertainment and journalism has become harder than ever to distinguish. The aim of this master thesis is to discover if grass roots media is more critical than traditional video game journalism regarding industry coverage. The study combines Communication Power theory, Web 2.0 and Convergence Culture, as well as Alternative Media and Participatory Journalistic theory, to create an interdisciplinary theoretical framework. The theoretical framework also guides our choice in methodology as a grounded theory study, where the aim of analysis is to present or discover a new theory or present propositions grounded in our analysis. To reach this methodological goal, 10 different grass roots media producers were interviewed at 6 different occasions.

    BEYOND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS Individual behaviors and beyond: Toward a multidimensional view of gamer identity Crystal N. Steltenpohl, University of Southern Indiana Jordan Reed, DePaul University Christopher B. Keys, DePaul University 1 BEYOND INDIVIDUAL BEHAVIORS Abstract Aims. “Gamers” have historically been described via consumption habits and other unidimensional definitions such as genres played. Increasingly, researchers understand social identity as situated within multidimensional contexts, including community members’ interactions with other members and society at large. Methods and results. Our qualitative study involving 434 fighting game community members suggests this expanded, more multidimensional view of social identity is a more accurate reflection of how people who play games view their identities. Our findings focused on four themes of gamer identity: (1) behaviors, (2) player motivations, (3) centrality, and (4) negative perceptions. Conclusion. Our research complements more recent research on gamer identity incorporating individual-level gaming habits or preferences and group-level identities emerging from out-of- game and/or in-game worlds. In this way, we consider the influence of multiple contexts on individual identity. Understanding the influence of various social contexts can provide better insight into the multidimensional nature of gamer identity. Keywords: stereotypes, fighting game community, gamers, social identity, groups Highlights ● While gamer identity has historically been defined largely through game consumption, fighting game community members describe several individual- and community-level factors that influence the meaning of the term to them. ● Motivation to play games play a part in one’s understanding of the “gamer” identity, mirroring and expanding upon previous research examining why people play video games. ● Multiple contexts, both inside the game world and in interpersonal relationships with other players, were important in determining the meaning of the “gamer” identity.

  • Key Game Information
    Key Game Information Short Summary “Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic roguelike turn‐based RPG about the psychological stresses of adventuring. Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes against unimaginable horrors, stress, famine, disease, and the ever‐ encroaching dark. Can you keep your heroes together when all hope is lost?” Long Summary “Darkest Dungeon is a challenging gothic RPG about the stresses of dungeon crawling. You will lead a band of heroes on a perilous side‐scrolling descent, dealing with a prodigious number of threats to their bodily health, and worse, a relentless assault on their mental fortitude! Five hundred feet below the earth you will not only fight unimaginable foes, but famine, disease, and the stress of the ever‐encroaching dark. Darkest Dungeon focuses on the humanity and psychological vulnerability of the heroes and asks: What emotional toll does a life of adventure take? Recruit, train, and lead a team of flawed heroes through twisted forests, forgotten warrens, ruined crypts, and beyond. You’ll battle not only unimaginable foes, but stress, famine, disease, and the ever‐encroaching dark. Uncover strange mysteries, and pit the heroes against an array of fearsome monsters with an innovative strategic turn‐based combat system. Darkest Dungeon is not a game where every hero wins the day with shiny armor and a smile. It is a game about hard trade‐offs, nearly certain demise, and heroic acts.” Accolades Original 2016 awards Independent Games Festival – Grand Prize Nominee 2016 PC Gamer – Best RPG 2016 Rock, Paper, Shotgun – Bestest Best 2016 Total Biscuit – Best Thing To Come Out Of Early Access – 2016 Game Informer – Best RPG setting, Combat Setting Innovation 2016 Current Market Standing By the end of 2017, the game had sold over 2 million units.
