  • 364 Gaminguistics: Proposing a Framework on The
    Journal of Social Studies Education Research Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Araştırmaları Dergisi 2019:10 (3),364-386 www.jsser.org Gaminguistics: Proposing a Framework on the Communication of Video Game Avatars Giyoto Giyoto1, SF. Luthfie Arguby Purnomo2, Lilik Untari3, SF. Lukfianka Sanjaya Purnama4 & Nur Asiyah5 Abstract This study attempts to construct a communication framework of video game avatars. Employing Aarseth’s textonomy, Rehak’s avatar’s life cycle, and Lury’s prosthetic culture avatar’s theories as the basis of analysis on fifty-five purposively selected games, this study proposes ACTION (Avatars, Communicators, Transmissions, Instruments, Orientations and Navigations). Avatars, borrowing Aarseth’s terms, are classifiable into interpretive, explorative, configurative, and textonic with four systems and sub classifications for each type. Communicators, referring to the participants involved in the communication with the avatars and their relationship, are classifiable into unipolar, bipolar, tripolar, quadripolar, and pentapolar. Transmissions, the ways in which communication is transmitted, are classifiable into restrictive verbal and restrictive non-verbal. Instruments, the graphical embodiment of communications, are realized into dialogue boxes, non-dialogue boxes, logs, expressions, movements and emoticons. Orientations, the methods the game spatiality employs to direct the movement of the avatars, are classifiable into dictative and non-dictative. Navigations, the strategies avatars perform regarding with the information saving system of the games, are classifiable into experimental and non-experimental. Departing from this ACTION, analysts are able to employ this formula as an approach to reveal how the avatars utilize their own ‘linguistics’ to communicate, out of the linguistics benefited by humans. Keywords: framework of communication, game avatars, game studies, video games, prosthetic culture.

  • A Conceptual Model for Video Games and Interactive Media
    A Conceptual Model for Video Games and Interactive Media Jacob Jett Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E Daniel St, Champaign, IL 61820 +1.217.244.2164 [email protected] Simone Sacchi Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, Columbia University 201 Lehman Library, International Affairs Building, 420 West 118th Street, New York, NY 10027 +1.212.851.7338 [email protected] Jin Ha Lee Information School, University of Washington Mary Gates Hall, Suite 370, Seattle WA 98195 +1.206.685.0153 [email protected] Rachel Ivy Clarke Information School, University of Washington Mary Gates Hall, Suite 370, Seattle WA 98195 +1.206.685.0153 [email protected] ABSTRACT In this article, we describe a conceptual model for video games and interactive media. Existing conceptual models such as the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) are not adequate to represent the unique descriptive attributes, levels of variance, and relationships among video games. Previous video game-specific models tend to focus on the development of video games and their technical aspects. Our model instead attempts to reflect how users such as game players, collectors, and scholars understand video games and the relationships among them. We specifically consider use cases of gamers, with future intentions of using this conceptual model as a foundation for developing a union catalog for various libraries and museums. In the process of developing the model, we encountered many challenges, including conceptual overlap with and divergence from FRBR, entity scoping, complex relationships among entities, and the question of how to model additional content for game expansion.

  • Disgaea 2 Item World Guide
    Disgaea 2 item world guide Continue The standard Item World floor in Disgaea 4 The Item World is a recurring feature of the Disgaea series. This is a series of randomly generated levels with access to monsters of a higher level than fixed levels of the storyline, a concept borrowed from the game Nippon Ichi, released last year, La Pucelle: Tactics' Dark World, although access was obtained in different ways. The introduction (edit the source of the editing) World of Elements provides the player with room to level the items up, clearing the levels, defeating the boss of the elements and subjugating innocent people. This allows you to create very powerful elements, and sometimes significantly change the behavior of the element. In early games, only items in the item bag can be entered, but in later games items either in the item bag or warehouse were able to be entered. The basics of editing source World items can be reached via the Red Magician near the gatekeeper in Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness or the thief with an arrow over his head in stores in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories. Both will give the player step-by-step guides to the basics of Item World and allow the player to select the item in the bag (and in later games, in stock) and enter his world. In all subsequent Disgaea games, the Thief will give the player an explanation of the world of items and allow the player to enter the World of Elements. The player will have to enter the World of Elements at some point during Episode 3 in all Disgaea games.
