  • Video Games and the Mobilization of Anxiety and Desire
    PLAYING THE CRISIS: VIDEO GAMES AND THE MOBILIZATION OF ANXIETY AND DESIRE BY ROBERT MEJIA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Kent A. Ono, Chair Professor John Nerone Professor Clifford Christians Professor Robert A. Brookey, Northern Illinois University ABSTRACT This is a critical cultural and political economic analysis of the video game as an engine of global anxiety and desire. Attempting to move beyond conventional studies of the video game as a thing-in-itself, relatively self-contained as a textual, ludic, or even technological (in the narrow sense of the word) phenomenon, I propose that gaming has come to operate as an epistemological imperative that extends beyond the site of gaming in itself. Play and pleasure have come to affect sites of culture and the structural formation of various populations beyond those conceived of as belonging to conventional gaming populations: the workplace, consumer experiences, education, warfare, and even the practice of politics itself, amongst other domains. Indeed, the central claim of this dissertation is that the video game operates with the same political and cultural gravity as that ascribed to the prison by Michel Foucault. That is, just as the prison operated as the discursive site wherein the disciplinary imaginary was honed, so too does digital play operate as that discursive site wherein the ludic imperative has emerged. To make this claim, I have had to move beyond the conventional theoretical frameworks utilized in the analysis of video games.

  • PG National Vigorsol Beats,Quando Il Complotto Incontra Il Videogame,Top 5
    PG National Vigorsol Beats Lo scorso 7 Aprile, al Teatro Ciak di Milano si è disputata una delle serie più emozionanti dell’ultimo split del National Predator, campionato nazionale di League of Legends, la sfida finale che ha visto contrapporsi due team formati recentemente, i Campus Party Sparks e i Samsung Morning Stars. Il match ha animato il pubblico fisico e “virtuale” con colpi di scena e momento mozzafiato, registrando più di un migliaio di spettatori fisici e oltre 5000 su Twitch. Organizzata su una “Best of 5”, la partita ha visto uno scatto iniziale dei Morning Stars, vicini alla vittoria con un 2-0 sugli avversari. Tuttavia, l’ampia capacità d’adattamento e di “mind-reset” degli Sparks e, qualche errore anche dal lato dei Samsung, hanno garantito il recupero e la vittoria degli primi in classifica, concludendo con un 3-2 ottenuto dopo una partita da brividi. Durante lo Spring Split l’andamento del team vincitore è stato per lo più dominante, con sole 2 sconfitte durante la prima e terza settimana della competizione e ben 12 vittorie in totale. Essendo entrambe new entry della scena italiana, i team hanno sorpreso tutti, riuscendo a scavalcare team veterani e non. Per la prima volta vediamo come title sponsor della competizione Vigorsol, famosissima società di chewing-gum che ha deciso d’investire nella scena italiana, altro segno dell’importanza degli eSport e di League of Legends sempre crescente negli anni. Basti pensare come siano aumentate anche le poste in palio: il premio delle competizioni mondiali è passato dai 50.000 dollari della prima season a un picco di 2.680.000 dollari nella sesta season.

Työssä esitellään itse RetroPie-projekti, sen toteuttamiseen tarvittavat ohjelmat ja laitteet, sekä kerrotaan "How to" -näkökulmasta projektin toteuttaminen. Projektia voidaan muokata haluamalla tavalla, mutta tähän on sisällytetty oma näkemykseni parhaasta mahdollisesta RetroPie-projektista ja sen sisällöstä. RetroPie-projekti mahdollistaa helpon tavan asentaa yli 30 erilaista emulaattoria Raspberry Pi:n sisälle. Projekti käyttää EmulationStationia graafisena front-endinä, ja RetroPie Setup -skriptiä back-endinä tarvittavien Rasbian-pakettien asentamiseen.

The graphics processing unit (G.P.U) has become an essential part of today's mainstream computing systems. Over the past 6 years, there has been a marked increase in the performance and potentiality of G.P.U. The modern G.P.Us is not only a powerful graphics engine but also a deeply parallel programmable processor showing peak arithmetic and memory bandwidth that substantially outpaces its CPU counterpart. The G.P.U's speedy increase in both programmability and capability has spawned a research community that has successfully mapped a broad area of computationally demanding, mixed problems to the G.P.U. This effort in general-purpose computing on the G.P.Us, also known as G.P.U computing, has positioned the G.P.U as a compelling alternative to traditional microprocessors in high-performance computer systems of the future. We illustrate the history, hardware, and programming model for G.P.U computing, abstract the state of the art in tools and techniques, and present 4 G.P.U computing successes in games physics and computational physics that deliver order-of- magnitude performance gains over optimized CPU applications.
