  • Personality and Character Selection in World of Warcraft
    Personality and Character Selection in World of Warcraft Ian D. Mosley: McNair Scholar Dr. Steven Patrick: Mentor Sociology Abstract The present study examined the relationship between players’ personality characteristics and their online behaviors, including character faction, class selection, and game play in the massively multiplayer online role playing game the World of Warcraft (WoW). Data were collected from 205 WoW players who participated in an online survey that included the Big 5 Personality Inventory (Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability and Openness to Experience) and portions of the California Personality Index, as well as original questions pertaining to WoW (Goldberg, et al. 2006). Statistical analysis showed that although there was not a significant relationship between player personality traits and their class or faction selection, there were significant relationships between personality traits and engagement in player versus player game play. Introduction Game developers go to great lengths to ensure that game worlds are realistic to players. This is perhaps most present in World of Warcraft (WoW). Although the overarching theme of the game may be fantasy, there are several elements to the game that parallel our own world and history (Krzywinslca, 2006). These parallels further the attachment players develop to the characters they portray, and the transference players experience from their game world interaction into their out of game lives. WoW and other games are now so well constructed that it has even been suggested that they could be “…windows into and catalysts in existing relationships in the material world” (Yee, 2006, p. 312). In WoW and all other massively multi-player online role playing games (MMORPG’s) players self select into specific racial and cultural stereotypes.

  • Wetenschappelijke Verhandeling
    UNIVERSITEIT GENT FACULTEIT POLITIEKE EN SOCIALE WETENSCHAPPEN MACHINIMA: SITUERING EN ONDERZOEK NAAR HET EDUCATIEF POTENTIEEL Wetenschappelijke verhandeling aantal woorden: 24909 BERT BESSEMS MASTERPROEF COMMUNICATIEWETENSCHAPPEN afstudeerrichting COMMUNICATIEMANAGEMENT PROMOTOR: DR. JAN VAN LOOY COMMISSARIS: FREDERIK DHAENENS COMMISSARIS: PETER MECHANT ACADEMIEJAAR 2009 - 2010 Abstract Machinima is een nieuwemediatechniek die gebruik maakt van videogames om films te produceren. Deze methode wordt gekenmerkt doordat ze snel en goedkoop is. Dit terwijl zij visueel minder sterk is dan klassieke film en animatie. Deze masterproef begint met een situering van het begrip aan de hand van een literatuurstudie. Achtereenvolgens beschrijf ik de historiek, de thema‟s en de toekomst van machinima. Daarnaast komen een aantal deelaspecten aan bod. Het zwaartepunt van het eerste deel is de bespreking van een SWOT-analyse. Het tweede deel omvat een literatuurstudie omtrent leertheorieën. Er worden een aantal theorieën geschetst die principes bevatten waar onderwijs in machinima baat bij kan hebben. Tevens wordt machinima hier geëvalueerd in twee categorieën: enerzijds als aan te leren set vaardigheden in hoofdzakelijk interdisciplinaire studierichtingen en als ondersteunend audiovisueel medium in traditioneel onderwijs. In deel drie komt de praktijk aan bod. Door middel van diepte-interviews en inhoudsanalyse schets ik twee cases: de cursus machinima aan de universiteit van Utah en een aantal workshops in drie verschillende fasen van ontwikkeling. Dit alles met het oog op het onderzoeken of machinima de nodige opportuniteiten biedt op het vlak van onderwijs. Er kan worden gesteld dat machinima educatief potentieel bezit. Dit getuigt het stelselmatig opnemen van machinima in interdisciplinaire curricula met de focus op computerwetenschappen en een combinatie tussen kunstrichtingen (animatie en film) en mediastudies.

  • Neverwinter Nights: Bringing the Tabletop to the Desktop
    Neverwinter Nights: Bioware Brings the Tabletop to the Desktop By Eric Furtado 3/18/03 1 “With Baldur’s Gate, we sparked a role-playing renaissance – now a multiplayer revolution!” These are the words spoken in the opening of an early trailer for Neverwinter Nights, released for the PC in June of 2002. Even at the point when the trailer was released in 2000, anticipation for the game was already running high. In 1998, Bioware, the developer of Neverwinter Nights, had almost single handedly resurrected the ailing computer roleplaying game (RPG) market with its great graphics, excellent implementation of the AD&D 2nd Edition rules, and remarkable story. The aforementioned trailer for Neverwinter Nights, although not the first trailer, was included on the CD of Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn. The video clearly states Bioware’s goal in its creation of Neverwinter Nights: to recreate, as accurately as possible, the feel and play style of pen and paper (or PnP) roleplaying, Dungeon Master included, on the PC. Were they successful? The answer is a resounding yes. For this reason, Neverwinter 2 Nights stands as model for future games and stands as a landmark in the history of computer RPGs. Word of Neverwinter Nights first surfaced in 1999 at GenCon along with an announcement by Wizards of the Coast about the new 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons rule set. However, the idea for Neverwinter Nights was created in 1997 as “the ultimate pen-and-paper role-playing game simulation.” Up until this point, computer role-playing games had been primarily single player affairs, or had multiplayer gameplay tacked on at the end of their development to allow groups of people to progress through the single player portion of the game with friends, but there was nothing that allowed them to create their own adventures.
