Muere John «Totalbiscuit» Bain, Estrella De Youtube

Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown El crítico de juegos John Bain, más conocido por los alias TotalBiscuit y Cynical Brit, murió hoy después de una prolongada batalla contra el cáncer. Autor: Twitter Publicado: 25/05/2018 | 12:25 pm Muere John «TotalBiscuit» Bain, estrella de YouTube John «TotalBiscuit» Bain a los 33 años tenía 2,2 millones de suscriptores en su canal de la plataforma de videos Publicado: Viernes 25 mayo 2018 | 12:30:18 pm. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde En abril se retiró de las críticas de videojuegos tras anunciar que el cáncer de intestino que padecía se le había extendido al hígado. En una extensa publicación en Reddit a principios de ese mes reveló que «no le quedaba mucho tiempo», según informó la BBC. «Esta es probablemente mi última actualización sobre mi estado de salud», escribió. «Mi cuerpo se volvió resistente a todas las formas de quimioterapia, según mi oncólogo. No hay nada que pueda hacer más allá de sobrellevar el dolor de la mejor manera posible». Su esposa Genna publicó un poema en Twitter en honor a su recién difunto esposo. «Estoy más abrumada por el dolor de lo que podría expresar», declaró en la red social. Bain saltó a la fama en 2010, cuando comenzó a publicar demostraciones y reseñas de videojuegos en su canal de YouTube. Fue campeón de varios títulos pequeños independientes y produjo videos en los que compartía sus primeras impresiones sobre los nuevos juegos. También editaba listas de recomendaciones en la tienda online Steam. Criticó abiertamente un gran número de videojuegos populares, señalando que muchos desarrolladores buscan maximizar los beneficios a expensas de la calidad del juego. Los responsables de la plataforma de videos Twitch, en donde Bain solía publicar sesiones en directo de sus partidas de videojuegos, agradeció su contribución a la industria. «Las obstinadas críticas y sentido del humor de John Bain le convirtieron en unas de las voces más prominentes de la industria de videojuegos», declararon en un comunicado. Varios jugadores también le rindieron tributo a través de Twitter. http://www.juventudrebelde.cu/ciencia-tecnica/2018-05-25/muere-john-totalbiscuit-estrella-de-youtube Juventud Rebelde | Diario de la juventud cubana Copyright © 2017 Juventud Rebelde.

“Beautiful Forcefields!”
“Beautiful Forcefields!” Promotional Metadiscursive Language in eSports Commentaries ” Underbara kraftfält!” Promotionsbef rämjande metadiskursivt språ k i eSportskommentar er Johannes Byrö Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences English English III: D egree Project 15hp Supervisor: Andrea Schalley Examiner : Solveig Granath October 2017 Title: “Beautiful Forcefields!”: Promotiona l Metadiscursive language in eSports Commentaries Titel på svenska: ” Underbara kraftfält!”: Promoti onsbef rämjande metadiskursi v t språk i eSportskommenta rer Author: Johannes Byrö Pages: 45 Abstract For an eSports commentator, the ability to promote the rivalry between the competitors is just as important as fast and accurate commentary. Th us, it is of interest how an experienced commentator achieves this promotional language per some theoretical framework. Using the relatively new and unexplored linguistic field of pro motional metadiscourse the quality o f comment ary can be evaluated quantifiably . T hus, t his paper investigates the promotional l anguage used by accomplished eSports commentators, in contrast to inexpe rienced novices, in the game StarCraft II. This is achieved with a lexical analysis of two StarCraft I I commentaries using categories of promotional langu age previously identified in press releases. Experienced commentators were found to have a much more extensive and varied vocabulary than their inexperienced counterparts, adopting stronger evaluative adj ectives and adverbs, as well as metaphorical language, in their commentaries. After comparing the commentaries with each other, the comments of two experienced commentators were compared. In this analysis, the same results were found in regards to commenta tor experience, as the less experienced commentator in this team featured less varied and weaker evaluative language than his more experienced co - commentator, yet more varied and evaluative than the novices .

Online Harassment and Content Moderation: the Case of Blocklists
Online Harassment and Content Moderation: The Case of Blocklists SHAGUN JHAVER, SUCHETA GHOSHAL, AMY BRUCKMAN, and ERIC GILBERT, Georgia Institute of Technology Online harassment is a complex and growing problem. On Twitter, one mechanism people use to avoid ha- rassment is the blocklist, a list of accounts that are preemptively blocked from interacting with a subscriber. In this article, we present a rich description of Twitter blocklists – why they are needed, how they work, and their strengths and weaknesses in practice. Next, we use blocklists to interrogate online harassment – the forms it takes, as well as tactics used by harassers. Specifically, we interviewed both people who use block- lists to protect themselves, and people who are blocked by blocklists. We find that users are not adequately protected from harassment, and at the same time, many people feel that they are blocked unnecessarily and unfairly. Moreover, we find that not all users agree on what constitutes harassment. Based on our findings, we propose design interventions for social network sites with the aim of protecting people from harassment, while preserving freedom of speech.

Nerd/Geek Masculinity: Technocracy, Rationality
NERD/GEEK MASCULINITY: TECHNOCRACY, RATIONALITY, AND GENDER IN NERD CULTURE’S COUNTERMASCULINE HEGEMONY A Dissertation by ELEANOR AMARANTH LOCKHART Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Kristan Poirot Committee Members, Tasha Dubriwny Jennifer Mercieca Claire Katz Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge August 2015 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2015 Eleanor Amaranth Lockhart ABSTRACT Nerd and geek culture have become subjects of increasing public concern in recent years, with growing visibility and power for technical professions and increasing relevance of video games, science fiction, and fantasy in popular culture. As a subculture, nerd/geek culture tends to be described in terms of the experiences of men and boys who are unpopular because of their niche interests or lack of social skills. This dissertation proposes the concept of nerd/geek masculinity to understand discourses of hegemonic masculinity in nerd/geek culture. Examining three case studies, the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, the neoreactionary political ideology, and the #GamerGate controversy, the dissertation suggests that nerd/geek masculinity responds to a perceived emasculation of men who identify as nerds or geeks by constructing the interests, skills, and behaviors of nerd/geek culture as inherently male traits. In this way, nerd/geek masculinity turns the very traits nerds and geeks are often mocked for into evidence of manhood – as the cost of excluding women and queer people from nerd and geek culture. ii DEDICATION To my friends and family who have supported me through this process of scholarship and survival, especially Aeva Palecek and Emily O’Leary… you are my dearest friends.

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.

Gameplay Livestreaming: Human Agents of Gamespace and Their Parasocial Relationships
GAMEPLAY LIVESTREAMING: HUMAN AGENTS OF GAMESPACE AND THEIR PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS By Alex P. Leith A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Media and Information Studies—Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT GAMEPLAY LIVESTREAMING: HUMAN AGENTS OF GAMESPACE AND THEIR PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS By Alex P. Leith Gameplay livestreaming is an increasingly popular form of media, with tens of thousands of people choosing to do it as either a hobby or career. Once each of these individuals creates a Twitch account and starts broadcasting themselves, they become a media figure. This dissertation examined the chats from thousands of partnered Twitch channels. The two key areas of examination are parasocial relationships and gameplay engagement. Parasocial relationshxips state that media users can begin to develop perceived relationships with media figures as they consume content containing that figure. A series of Python bots gathered chat and stream data over a month from 30 Twitch categories (e.g., Hearthstone, League of Legends, Art, and Just Chatting). The bots logged a total of 321,189,309 messages from 6,564,307 senders and 117,943 channels. After cleaning the data for partnership status, stream language, and message count, coding divided the remaining 3,224,942 messages from 1,298,148 senders and 3,127 channels into their appropriate groups (i.e., messages target and stream content). The research hypotheses subdivided the dataset several times. All hypotheses had the messages separated between streamer-specific messages and other-specific messages. Streamer-specific messages are messages which include the at symbol (@) and the channel name, thus signaling message intentionality to the streamer.

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.
