  • 2004 February
    February 2004 Games and Entertainment Megan Morrone Today you can use the same machine to organize your finances, create a presentation for your boss, and defend the Earth from flesh-eating aliens. But let’s be honest: Even with the crazy advances in software, organizing your finances and creating a presentation for your boss are still not half as much fun as defending the Earth from flesh-eating aliens.That’s why we’ve devoted the entire month of February to the noble pursuit of games and entertainment for PCs, Macs, game consoles, and PDAs. I know what you’re thinking.You’re thinking that you can skip right over this chapter because you’re not a gamer. Gamers are all sweaty, pimpled, 16-year-old boys who lock themselves in their basements sustained only by complex carbohydrates and Mountain Dew for days on end, right? Wrong.Video games aren’t just for young boys anymore. Saying you don’t like video games is like saying you don’t like ice cream or cheese or television or fun.Are you trying to tell me that you don’t like fun? If you watch The Screen Savers,you know that each member of our little TV family has a uniquely different interest in games. Morgan loves a good frag fest, whereas Martin’s tastes tend toward the bizarre (think frogs in blenders or cow tossing.) Kevin knows how to throw a cutting-edge LAN party,while Joshua and Roger like to kick back with old-school retro game emulators. I like to download free and simple low-res games that you can play on even the dinkiest PC, whereas Patrick prefers to build and rebuild the perfect system for the ultimate gaming experience (see February 13).And leave it to Leo to discover the most unique new gaming experience for the consummate early adopter (see February 1).

  • On Criticism and Form–Style and Technology
    Bullerdick 1 Kathryn Bullerdick Clifford Siskin Introduction to Advanced Study 01 December 2008 On Criticism and Form–Style and Technology In an interview with National Public Radio’s Talk of the Nation, the chief film critic for The New York Times, A.O. Scott, muses on the variety of roles a critic must play. He reflects upon some wisdom passed down by his predecessor, Vincent Canby, by referencing the phrase, “Critics never wear hats. And would never throw them in the air” (Talk). Scott employs the idiom: "to wear many hats" or "to wear a lot of different hats at once" to describe a balancing act, implying that the professional critic is often asked to embody the “everyman” while touting the wisdom of an expert—thus working as both a “fan” and “the elite.” He explains, “it’s always my own experience that I’m writing about and my own enjoyment or frustration or lack of enjoyment that I’m trying to explain in a way that’s just a little bit more than subjective, because I don’t think it’s “Critics never wear hats. And would useful for a critic just to say ‘I like that.’” Scott continues, “You have to never throw them in the air” – Vincent Canby [create] some kind of argument or something that communicates not just how you felt […] but what you thought about it, and what might be interesting for viewers to think about and what they might encounter when they’re there” (Talk). Employing A.O. Scott’s definition of criticism and using “hats” as a metaphor, this essay examines the role of the literary critic, the many ways that the Internet and journalism can influence and affect change in the academy’s approach to Bullerdick 2 criticism and the disguises critics commonly wear.

  • 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.

Major content rights holders in the movie and music industry assert ownership rights of content on video upload platforms, and the application of the fair use doctrine to such content is largely unclear.
