But now Intel is all set to integrate Steam into its Clear Linux to make the existing gaming experience even better. Intel?s open source technology center has been working on Clear Linux distribution for a long time. The distribution is specifically designed to bring the best of Linux on Intel-powered hardware and targeted at workstation and server computing. However, apart from enabling enterprises with its open source offering, the chip maker has now started working on improving the Steam support. Clear Linux comes with the latest Mesa stack that has Vulkan drivers. Notably, the distribution offers accelerated graphics but currently lacks the support for dedicated graphics. No More Room in Hell 2 has a new teaser, should come to Linux [3] No More Room in Hell 2 [Official Site] is not just a sequel, it's going to be running on an entirely different game engine. The developer have said will be doing a Linux version, but their wording has been iffy. The latest Steam Beta Client fixes a nearly 4 year old Linux issue, fixes other Linux issues[4] Valve have been busy, as the latest Steam Beta Client makes some important improvements to the Linux client. The Steam Controller has also seen some improvements, like supporting configurations for XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. Steam Linux Client Beta Adds Idle Detection, Updated Vulkan Loader & More[5] Valve pushed out an updated Steam Linux client beta today that includes some useful changes for Linux gamers. Valve Finally Makes Steam Work Out-of-the-Box with Open-Source Graphics Drivers[6] Today, January 5, 2017, Valve's engineers working on Steam announced the availability of a new Beta build of the Steam Client, which appears to address a bunch of Linux bugs, as well as to add numerous Steam Controller improvements. The new Steam Client Beta update brings quite a lot of changes (see them all in the changelog attached at the end of the story), but we're very interested in the Linux ones, which appears to let Steam work out-of-the-box with open-source graphics drivers on various modern GNU/Linux distributions, while implementing a new setting for older ones to improve the interaction between Steam's runtime and system's host libraries.

Moving beyond existing criticism which argues that the zombie transforms to fit each generation’s specific fears, I argue that zombie movies, novels, and video games from George A. Romero-onwards continually speak to a distrust of science and scientific progress while additionally romanticizing the post-apocalyptic landscape. Consequently, the zombie’s unprecedented mainstream popularity over the last fifteen years could be read as symptomatic of this distrust intensifying, paralleling an increasing politicization of science and a rise in apocalyptic thinking within the public sphere.

  • The Zombie in American Culture by Graeme Stewart a Thesis Presented
    The Zombie in American Culture by Graeme Stewart A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in English - Literary Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Graeme Stewart 2013 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT My research explores how the oft-maligned zombie genre reveals deep-seated American cultural tendencies drawn from the nation's history with colonization and imperialism. The zombie genre is a quintessentially American construct that has been flourishing in popular culture for nearly 60 years. Since George A. Romero first pioneered the genre with 1968's Night of the Living Dead , zombie narratives have demonstrated a persistent resilience in American culture to emerge as the ultimate American horror icon. First serving as a method to exploit and react to cultural anxieties in the 1960s, the zombie genre met the decade's tumultuous violence in international conflicts like the Vietnam War and domestic revolutions like the Civil Rights Movement. It adapted in the 1970s to expose a perceived excess in consumer culture before reflecting apocalyptic fears at the height of the Cold War in the 1980s. Following a period of rest in the relatively peaceful 1990s, the genre re-emerged in the early 2000s to reflect cultural anxieties spurred on by the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the subsequent resurgence of war those attacks inspired.

  • Analog Input in Gaming
    Analog input in gaming: Investigating the possibilities of new controller affordances in video games Pim Ostendorf Interaction Design One-Year Master Thesis Project I KD643A 15.0 credits May 23, 2018 Supervisor: Per Linde 1 Acknowledgements I would like to start by thanking my friend, Johanna Westerlund, for her dedication in creating the sprite art required to create the prototype on such a short notice. I don’t want to think about the abominations I would have drawn up if she had not been able to help me out. Furthermore, I want to thank my friends at Spelenshus Malmö, who were willing to take time out of their day to playtest and discuss the prototype I created. My thanks also goes out to my classmates for their time and input in the experiments and playtesting. Also, my thanks to my supervisor, Per Linde for his enthusiasm, passion and his inexplicable ability to make me say things that sound clever. Last but not least my thanks go out to David Cuartielles for his input and advice when I got stuck. I hope your keyboards will turn out amazing. 2 Abstract This report covers the eight week design project for the Thesis Project 1 and it looks at both the process and the results of this project. Through an iterative prototyping process a prototype was created to answer the research question: “What gameplay mechanics are required for a fighting style video game to allow for analog input in its character movements and do these mechanics allow for more natural controls and mastery?” Together with research into academic writing in the fields of neurology, embodied design and game design it was concluded that an analog control scheme, within the context of a video game that allows for that type of affordance, gives the user more natural control over the character they are playing.

  • TRANSCENDENT WASTE by Robert Dale Glick a Dissertation Submitted
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by The University of Utah: J. Willard Marriott Digital Library TRANSCENDENT WASTE by Robert Dale Glick A dissertation submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English The University of Utah August 2012 Copyright © Robert Dale Glick 2012 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF DISSERTATION APPROVAL The dissertation of Robert Dale Glick has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Lance Olsen , Chair 4/19/2012 Date Approved Melanie Rae Thon , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Scott Black , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Kathryn Bond Stockton , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved Lisa Henry Benham , Member 4/19/2012 Date Approved and by Vince Pecora , Chair of the Department of English and by Charles A. Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT Transcendent Waste is a collection of stories that explores the difficulties of bereavement through what we literally and metaphorically throw away. Characters in Transcendent Waste question the validity of ritual in healing, displace guilt and grief onto relationship and career, and attempt to empathize with others who understand death and mourning in radically different ways. Influenced by Bataillean notions of excess and Kristeva’s concept of the abject, I explore loss by using the concept of “waste” within literal, symbolic, and conceptual frameworks. Waste can signify trash, a surfeit of language, the lost potential of a life, the misuse of time, or the degradation of the body.

    SCMS 2016 CONFERENCE PROGRAM HILTON ATLANTA • ATLANTA, GEORGIA March 30–April 3, 2016 COVER PHOTO: 1940s view of Atlanta’s Auburn Avenue including a sign for Bailey’s Royal Theatre and Big Bethel AME Church Courtesy of Kenan Research Center, Atlanta History Center Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the SCMS Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to Atlanta! Since the SCMS conference was last here twelve years ago, the Society has seen both membership and the conference itself increase dramatically in size. This year in Atlanta we have twice the number of panels as we had in 2004. Our growth confirms the vitality of cinema and media studies, as well as its continuing importance to the academy internationally and to our increasingly globalized societies. I know from previewing the program that it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. Given the dazzling assortment of panels on tap for the five days of our conference, I hope you will find this year’s selection as exciting and stimulating as in years past. And as dizzying, perhaps, as you try to decide where to go next. To assist you in navigating the program we have arranged for everyone to have access to the Grupio app. Among other features, it allows you to view the entire schedule and then to create your own calendars based on the sessions you want to attend.
