Herz, J.C., Joystick Nation i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i FOREWORD In the still scarce essayistic literature on videogames, the current study by Herlander Elias cannot be otherwise than an unavoidable reference in the Por- tuguese background. This importance is due to this study’s subject being a specific sub genre in videogames – the First Person Shooter – about which, as far as one knows, this endeavor is unprecedented. If the field of Ludology is still taking its first steps, Herlander Elias has gained a foothold in it, with a career that, although commenced by collaborating on publications directed to videogames, is being consolidated by merging with higher scientific research. In a theoretically well informed fashion, where names such as Marshall McLuhan, Jean Baudrillard, Paul Virilio, Lev Manovich, Espen Aarseth, David Bolter and Ricard Gruisin, Howard Rheingold, Mark Dery, Claudia Gianetti, Katherine Hayles, Derrick de Kerckhove, Michael Heim, Nicholas Negro- ponte and Sherry Turkle echo, the author provides us with a very intuitive summary of the critical reflections on technological devices and the research on the changes performed on subjectivity by communication technologies. However, this work does not display the features usually related to the results of academic research. Nevertheless, First Person Shooter – The Sub- jective Cyberspace fits in a more vast process of opening of the Portuguese University to the contemporary world, where the creation of tools to under- stand reality and the action within it is at stake. This will mean appropriating and incorporating, as cognitive sources, languages and images belonging to contexts strange to the academic framework, having those at least – besides being a means of performing empirical questioning – the merit of dusting and airing the ponderous academic jargon. On the other hand, this book plays a valuable role on making publicly available and shedding some light on a language still significantly cryptic for not only the public in general, but also 1 i i i i i i i i 2 First Person Shooter: The Subjective Cyberspace for academic readers, to whom it is as unfamiliar as swift is the inexorable evolution of computer technologies and the cyberculture coupled with them. It is not accidental that Communication Sciences, under whose wing Her- lander Elias’ work is taken, constitute an epistemological culture set apart from Humanities and play an eminent role on mediating the latter and tech- nological sciences. One has to comprehend this study within the scope of re- flecting upon modern techniques and, particularly, communication sciences. It must be pointed out that these reflections have been undertaken in the sphere of Communication Sciences, achieving patterns of excellence unparalleled in any other field of knowledge. It may be said that they are in a privileged position in order to do so thanks to their being close to communication tech- nologies, which would, in this situation, constitute a challenge not to be left unanswered. Although true, this assertion’s being taken into consideration without further views would only lessen Communication Sciences. In their aforementioned reflection, they resort, indeed, to conceptual instruments fre- quently drawn from many other fields, although providing them with unprece- dented developments along with the original theoretical tools, which will, in turn, stimulate the thought on modern technoscience, as well as the research on socio-techniques that have been developed, respectively in Philosophy and Sociology. Whatever is to be written in the field of Ludology will also have to come through here. António Fernando Cascais, Ph.D. Professor of the Communication Sciences Department of FCSH-UNL Lisbon, Portugal www.labcom.pt i i i i i i i i INTRODUCTION The present goal in the making of this essay is to explain the First Person Shooter concept in the frame of an image theory. By beginning to assume that Virtual Reality failed as a project mostly related to the HMD (Head-Mounted Display) and the DataGlove, but not just like that, I try to make clear how the First Person Shooter is the kind of videogame that rescues the project of the Virtual with a dynamic of its own, even though it is usually experienced through screens. Crossing science-fiction and electronic image theory, as well as the cri- tique on the language of new media, in this essay I explain the foundation of the project of the Virtual that has as its aegis the FPS. As a consequence of this conceptual part I carry on to relate it to questions associated with technolog- ical change and subjectivity. The first chapter is focused on the First Person Shooter concept, as the second chapter requires revealing how the science- fiction project surrounding the “cyberspace” is mirrored in the creation of the First Person Shooter. In the third chapter, at last, the objective is to show the implications on subjectivity for real; to expose what is implicit in the way the subject is related to these subjective images of the FPS cyberspace. The path explored in this essay is the one of making the reader famil- iar with terms as “cyberspace”, “virtual reality” and the “trajective subject”, among others. Present in this entire monograph is a certain critique to the graphical reformation that the FPS is able to implement in the electronic lu- dic image. In order to elucidate the reader in the best way I explain the military origin and the warfare nature of the FPS images, as well as its relation with typography (in the form of text) and topography, film and sculpture. Under- standing the First Person Shooter is to experience in a certain way its subjec- tive cyberspace, it is to accept the entrance in the trap of the virtual, that au- 3 i i i i i i i i 4 First Person Shooter: The Subjective Cyberspace thors like Atkins (2003) mention as being an “entrapment” phenomenon. One attends to a programmed ambush inside the subjective cyberspace of the FPS, designed to test the skills of the user-player; the game has challenges, dilem- mas and demands an exploration and evasive behavior; a “flânerie” rethinked by the next-generation graphic system.

Other Valve titles using this engine include Counter-Strike: Source, Lost Coast, Day of Defeat: Source and the recent Half-Life 2: Episode 1. At the time that Half-Life 2 shipped, the key innovation of the Source engine’s rendering system was a novel world lighting system called Radiosity Normal Mapping.

In order for our characters to integrate naturally with our radiosity normal mapped scenes, we used an irradiance volume to provide directional ambient illumination in addition to a small number of local lights for our characters. With Valve’s recent shift to episodic content development, we have focused on incremental technology updates to the Source engine. For example, in the fall of 2005, we shipped an additional free Half- Life 2 game level called Lost Coast and the multiplayer game Day of Defeat: Source. Both of these titles featured real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering and the latter also showcased the addition of real-time color correction to the engine.

  • Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V
    “ROFL F*ck You”: Understanding the Current State of Toxicity in Battlefield V By Justin Juvrud Supervisor: Dr Susann Baez Ullberg 2020 Nr 99 2 Abstract: With the birth of “virtual worlds,” created a new space for social norms to evolve and change within a subset community. This thesis focuses on toxicity within the virtual world of EA DICE’s Battlefield V title. The goal of this research is to understand toxicity on a micro scale inside the world of Battlefield V from a gaming anthropological perspective. Along with understanding what toxicity looked like within the virtual world ofBattlefield V, the thesis obtained data for how the community and EA DICE employees perceived toxicity. This research has components of interviews with these members of the communities/staff as well as a netnography of the virtual world of Battlefield V gameplay. Findings and analysis were categorized under the themes of toxic language, power/freedom, virtual world creation, and gender toxicity. Battlefield V toxicity is ever evolving and shaped by player techne (player actions). Player chat consumes the majority of toxicity and therefore diving into toxic language was vital. Understanding the player perspective of power and freedom while gaming was just the first step as the thesis also dove into the developer’s perspective and analyzed the interviews with the backbone of Malaby’s (2009) contingency concepts to see how the developers have a large role to play when it comes to toxicity in games, even if they may not realize it. Just as in the “real world” the virtual world of Battlefield V also had a major theme of gender discrimination winessed and discussed via both community members and staff members of EA DICE.

  • COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.

  • Esports High Impact and Investable

Martin, CFA & CMT – [email protected] / (917) 373-3066 September 5, 2019 Dan Medina – [email protected] / (626) 893-2925 eSports High Impact and Investable For the past decade, eSports has been growing on the main stage in Asia and in stealth mode in the US. This report addresses questions we get most often from investors about eSports: ➢ What is eSports? Definitions differ. Our definition of eSports is “players competing at a video game in front of a live audience while being live-streamed.” By implication, viewing, attendance, and playing time are linked, and each creates revenue streams for eSports. ➢ How big is eSports? Globally, one out of every three (ie, 33%) 18-25 year olds spent more than an hour a day playing video games, 395mm people watched eSports, and 250mm people played Fortnite in 2018. eSports revenue will be $1.1B in 2019, up 26% y/y. ➢ Should investors care about eSports? We would argue “yes”, owing to: a) global scale; b) time spent playing and viewing; c) compelling demographics; d) eSports vs traditional sports trends; e) revenue growth; and, f) sports betting should supercharge US eSports. ➢ Is eSports a fad? We would argue “no”, owing to: a) many US Universities now offer Varsity eSports scholarships; b) new special purpose eSports stadiums are proliferating; c) billionaires are investing to make eSports successful; d) audience growth; and, e) Olympics potential. ➢ Why have you never heard of eSports? Because zero of the top 30 earning players in the world were from the US in 2018.

    In 1094 the Greek Emperor Alexius I asked Pope Urban II for aid. Turkish armies had overrun the Eastern provinces of the Greek empire empire and were getting close to the capital, Constantinople. The Pope appealed to Western European knights to put their differences and petty squabbles aside and help the Greeks in the east. He summoned them together to take part in a Holy War that would also serve as a pilgrimage to Jersalem. The first Crusade would soon begin. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 5.3 The Mercenary Post . .35 1.0 GETTING STARTED . .4 5.4 Available Units . .35 4. noitallatsnI dna stnemeriuqeR metsyS 1.1 metsyS stnemeriuqeR dna . noitallatsnI . 4. 5.5 Gathering your Forces . .38 5. .sedoM emaG dna emaG eht gnitratS 2.1 gnitratS eht emaG dna emaG .sedoM . 5. 5.6 Marching Orders . .39 1.3 Game Options . .6 5.7 Changing your Units Stance. .39 1.4 Game Overview . .7 5.8 Military Commands. .40 1.5 About t eh .launaM . .. 7. 5.9 Map Bookmarks . .42 1.6 Winning and Losing. .8 1.7 Playing a Multiplayer Game. .9 6.0 DEFENDING YOU R P EOPLE . .42 1.8 Map Editor Overview. .11 6.1 The Gatehouse. .42 1.9 Crusader Games. .12 6.2 Building High and Low Walls . .43 6.3 Turrets and Towers . .43 2.0 GAME B ASICS . .15 6.4 Placing Stairs . .44 2.1 Main Screen Overview and Navigating the Map . .15 6.5 Traps . .44 2.2 Camera Interface. .15 6.6 Moat Digging . .44 2.3 Placing your Keep.
