A shared passion for video games makes the long lines bearable and we bond over ques- tions like “what DS game is that?” or “Did you play this?” PAX is like a sand box game, there is no one right way to enjoy it. You can bring your rig and enjoy a massive LAN party, or hit up the free play area. Be a rock god up on stage with Rock Band. Or maybe your just taking a nap on a Sumo Bag. We the loyal fans can catch trailers and demos scattered around the exhibit halls in search of the one game we must play, only to discover ten more that enthrall us. Spread throughout, like so many random encounters are the opportunities to pick up the gathering swag and the merch that will weigh our suitcases down on the journey home.

  • 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.

Monetizing Infringement Kristelia García* The deterrence of copyright infringement and the evils of piracy have long been an axiomatic focus of both legislators and scholars. The conventional view is that infringement must be curbed and/or punished in order for copyright to fulfill its purported goals of incentivizing creation and ensuring access to works. This Essay proves this view false by demonstrating that some rightsholders don’t merely tolerate, but actually encourage infringement, both explicitly and implicitly, in a variety of different situations and for one common reason: they benefit from it.

With the vision of giving their players starring roles in story-rich settings and making them the heroes of cinematic action scenes, ArenaNet partners with Keywords Functionality QA to help ensure optimal and immersive end-user experience.

    Título: Guild Wars 2 Distribuidora: Koch Media Editor/Desarrollador: NCSOFT / Arenanet Género: MMORG Formato: PC Idioma: Manual y textos en castellano Fecha de Lanzamiento: 2012 Pegi: 12 + Web: www.guildwars2.com Descripción del juego Guild Wars 2 es un MMO visualmente impresionante, que ofrece a los jugadores la grandeza épica que rodea un juego de rol masivo combinado con un sistema de combate innovador, una experiencia dinámica de juego interactivo con historias personalizadas. En Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet incorpora un modo de juego innovador que permite a los usuarios jugar a su manera, pero manteniendo el desarrollo tradicional que Guild Wars mostró desde sus orígenes, y se mantiene, como en su anterior entrega, sin cuota de suscripción mensual. La saga original de Guild Wars ha vendido más de 6 millones de unidades en todo el mundo, y sigue disfrutando de una serie de jugadores activos y leales que esperan con impaciencia esta secuela. Características Las decisiones personales afectan al desarrollo del juego: Una experiencia dinámica de juego interactiva. Sus opciones y acciones generan un efecto real en el mundo que te rodea. ¿Los habitantes lucharán contra la arrasadora legión centauro o sucumbirán al ataque? ¡Tú decides! Sistema de eventos dinámicos: hace referencia a cualquier evento que ocurre en una zona persistente como resultado de la interacción de los personajes explorando el mundo. Son llamados dinámicos porque cambian constantemente en nuevos eventos, creando un efecto cascada. Una vez que el evento comience se desarrollará independientemente de si hay jugadores en la zona o no. Debido a esto, no existe un concepto real de fracaso o éxito, el resultado de cualquier evento simplemente causará un cambio en la zona.
