  • WITH OUR DEMONS a Thesis Submitted By
    1 MONSTROSITIES MADE IN THE INTERFACE: THE IDEOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF ‘PLAYING’ WITH OUR DEMONS A Thesis submitted by Jesse J Warren, BLM Student ID: u1060927 For the award of Master of Arts (Humanities and Communication) 2020 Thesis Certification Page This thesis is entirely the work of Jesse Warren except where otherwise acknowledged. This work is original and has not previously been submitted for any other award, except where acknowledged. Signed by the candidate: __________________________________________________________________ Principal Supervisor: _________________________________________________________________ Abstract Using procedural rhetoric to critique the role of the monster in survival horror video games, this dissertation will discuss the potential for such monsters to embody ideological antagonism in the ‘game’ world which is symptomatic of the desire to simulate the ideological antagonism existing in the ‘real’ world. Survival video games explore ideology by offering a space in which to fantasise about society's fears and desires in which the sum of all fears and object of greatest desire (the monster) is so terrifying as it embodies everything 'other' than acceptable, enculturated social and political behaviour. Video games rely on ideology to create believable game worlds as well as simulate believable behaviours, and in the case of survival horror video games, to simulate fear. This dissertation will critique how the games Alien:Isolation, Until Dawn, and The Walking Dead Season 1 construct and themselves critique representations of the ‘real’ world, specifically the way these games position the player to see the monster as an embodiment of everything wrong and evil in life - everything 'other' than an ideal, peaceful existence, and challenge the player to recognise that the very actions required to combat or survive this force potentially serve as both extensions of existing cultural ideology and harbingers of ideological resistance across two worlds – the ‘real’ and the ‘game’.

  • “A Jill Sandwich”. Gender Representation in Zombie Videogames
    “A Jill Sandwich”. Gender Representation in Zombie Videogames. Esther MacCallum-Stewart From Resident​ Evil (Capcom 1996 - present) to The​ Walking Dead (Telltale Games 2012-4), ​ women are represented in zombie games in ways that appear to refigure them as heroines in their own right, a role that has traditionally been represented as atypical in gaming genres. These women are seen as pioneering – Jill Valentine is often described as one of the first playable female protagonists in videogaming, whilst Clementine and Ellie from The​ Walking Dead and The​ Last of Us (Naughty Dog 2013) are respectively, a young child and a teenager ​ ​ undergoing coming of age rites of passage in the wake of a zombie apocalypse. Accompanying them are male protagonists who either compliment these roles, or alternatively provide useful explorations of masculinity in games that move beyond gender stereotyping. At first, these characters appear to disrupt traditional readings of gender in the zombie genre, avoiding the stereotypical roles of final girl, macho hero or princess in need of rescuing. Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and Ada Wong of the Resident​ Evil series are resilient characters who often have independent storyarcs within the series, and possess unique ludic attributes that make them viable choices for the player (for example, a greater amount of inventory). Their physical appearance - most usually dressed in combat attire - additionally means that they partially avoid critiques of pandering to the male gaze, a visual trope which dominates female representation in gaming. Ellie and Clementine introduce the player to non-sexualised portrayals of women who ultimately emerge as survivors and protagonists, and further episodes of each game jettison their male counterparts to focus on each of these young adult’s development.

  • The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism
    The Shape of Games to Come: Critical Digital Storytelling in the Era of Communicative Capitalism by Sarah E. Thorne A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2018, Sarah E. Thorne Abstract The past decade has seen an increase in the availability of user-friendly game development software, the result of which has been the emergence of a genre of reflexive and experimental games. Pippin Barr, La Molleindustria’s Paolo Pedercini, and Davey Wreden are exemplary in their thoughtful engagement with an ever-expanding list of subjects, including analyses and critiques of game development, popular culture, and capitalism. These works demonstrate the power of games as a site for critical media theory. This potential, however, is hindered by the player-centric trends in the game industry that limit the creative freedom of developers whose work is their livelihood. In the era of communicative capitalism, Jodi Dean argues that the commodification of communication has suspended narrative in favour of the circulation of fragmented and digestible opinions, which not only facilitates the distribution and consumption of communication, but also safeguards communicative capitalism against critique. Ultimately, the very same impulse that drives communicative capitalism is responsible for the player-centric trends that some developers view as an obstacle to their art. Critical game studies has traditionally fallen into two categories: those that emphasize the player as the locus of critique, such as McKenzie Wark’s trifler or Mary Flanagan’s critical play, and those that emphasize design, as in Alexander Galloway’s countergaming, Ian Bogost’s procedural rhetoric, and Gonzalo Frasca’s theory of simulation.

  • Video Game Review: the Walking Dead
    Video Game Review: The Walking Dead By Adam Shaw Catholic News Service NEW YORK – Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series “The Walking Dead” has caused quite a stir in the decade since its debut. Widely successful in print, his zombie apocalypse saga has been turned into a highly rated AMC-TV show – currently in its third season – and, more recently, into a video game. “The Walking Dead” (Telltale Games) was initially released in downloadable episodic form in 2012; now it’s being marketed as a single title available for purchase in stores. Like the books, the game is marked by considerable violence. But this is offset, at least somewhat, by a focus on the personal relationships linking the key characters – a humanizing element not often found in the zombie genre. The player takes on the persona of Lee Everett. A convicted, but repentant murderer, Lee is being escorted to a Georgia prison when the advent of the flesh- eating undead suddenly releases him from his shackles. While trying to figure out exactly what’s transpiring, Lee comes across a young girl named Clementine who has become separated from her parents. The two buddy-up and hit the road – joined, eventually, by other refugees. The gamer’s goal is to protect Clementine and guide her to safety. To accomplish that, however, the player must tackle a succession of complex moral choices. For instance, should a bitten and infected companion be banished and left to his fate? Or should he be allowed to remain with the group – even though that will mean putting others at risk? Such decisions fundamentally affect the direction of the story.

  • THE WALKING DEAD: PARENT IMPACT GUIDE Ages 14+| 1+ Hours
    Engaged Citizenship| EMPATHY THE WALKING DEAD: PARENT IMPACT GUIDE Ages 14+| 1+ Hours “All we do is think about how a person is going to experience a moment any second of a game, but I don’t actually think about people playing it.” -- Sean Vanaman, Walking Dead episode writer, The Walking Dead ABOUT THE WALKING DEAD The Walking Dead puts the player in the shoes of Lee Everett, a man recently arrested for murder. Lee's life is turned upside down when he gets in a car crash and discovers that dead people have started to come alive. With the world entering a zombie apocalypse, Lee must do what he can to survive. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/LHH6v9 THEME FOR THIS GUIDE: Empathy In The Walking Dead, the player is thrust into the world of Lee Everett, a man accused of murdering his wife's lover. On the way to the station, the police car Lee is in is forced off the side of the road only to crash into a ditch. Lee wakes up to find the officer dead and now he must find help. Though the game's story takes place in a zombie apocalypse, the game's main focus is empathy, which is the ability to not only understand the feelings of another but to also feel with them on a deeper level. With this game's character development, the player can immerse themselves in the emotions and hard decisions that Lee Everett must make in order to survive. Who you empathize with is up to you, and the characters will remember it forever.
