    Virtual Values Essay by Marc De Bruijn MA Media Design Piet Zwart Institute, 2005 V Selling Your Bigger Bugfinder Blade for 15 Million Meat 01

    Virtual Values Essay by Marc de Bruijn MA Media Design Piet Zwart Institute, 2005 V Selling your Bigger Bugfinder Blade for 15 million Meat 01 “You’re fighting a Protagonist This is a 12-year-old boy who has somehow become one of the most powerful warriors in the world. He’s on a quest to both save the world and somehow redeem himself from a past he doesn’t remember. Perhaps getting a little bit of a smackdown will jar his memory. He gets the jump on you. He hits you in the skull with a sword the size (and sharpness) of a cricket bat. Ouch! Ow! Ow! Ouch! Ooh! You lose 17 hit points.” (The Kingdom of Loathing, Asymmetric Publications LLC, 2005) “The Kingdom of Loathing” is a browser-based and relatively small MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game), or rather a parody of several MMORPGs and various other pop-culture phenomena. The game is largely text based and the graphics are hand-drawn stick-figures. The player can choose from three character classes, roughly following the typical, or even cliché, system of a online fantasy game. After creating a character the player is free to adventure in the “Kingdom of Loathing”, mostly by performing duties from the “Council of Loathing”. The currency in the Kingdom is not gold, nor dollars, pounds or euros, the valuta is “meat” and it serves several purposes – paying for items, crafting new items, etc. Small quantities of meat – sometimes accompanied by (special) items – are dropped by defeated monsters, just like the bags of gold you can loot from a corpse in a World of Warcraft.
  • Gaming Habits and Self-Determination: Conscious and Non-Conscious Paths to Behavior Continuance

    Gaming Habits and Self-Determination: Conscious and Non-Conscious Paths to Behavior Continuance

    GAMING HABITS AND SELF-DETERMINATION: CONSCIOUS AND NON-CONSCIOUS PATHS TO BEHAVIOR CONTINUANCE By Donghee Yvette Wohn A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Media and Information Studies – Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT GAMING HABITS AND SELF-DETERMINATION: CONSCIOUS AND NON-CONSCIOUS PATHS TO BEHAVIOR CONTINUANCE By Donghee Yvette Wohn This dissertation examines how non-conscious habits and conscious motivations contribute to an individual’s intention to continue playing online multiplayer games. It empirically examines distinct predictions of behavioral intention based on different theories in two gaming contexts—casual social network games (SNGs) and massively multiplayer online games (MMOs). Addressing inconsistencies in prior studies, habit is conceptualized as the mental construct of automaticity, thus distinguishing habit from frequency of past behavior and self-identity. Results indicate that strong habits positively predict behavior continuation intention and moderate the effect of motivation for SNGs but not MMOs. Self-identity was a positive predictor for both genres. Gender differences in self-determined motivation were present in social network games but not massively multiplayer online games. The residual effect of past behavior was stronger than any conscious or non-conscious processes; once perceived frequency of past behavior was taken into consideration, it was the strongest indicator of behavioral continuation intentions. Copyright by DONGHEE YVETTE WOHN 2013 Dedicated to my progressive grandparents, who believed that higher education was the most important indicator of success for a woman. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my dear advisor, Robert LaRose, whose sharp critiques have prepared me for the most ferocious of peer reviewers; whose brilliant insights bore holes in dams of existing scholarship, making way for innovative paradigms; and whose sincere love for students represents the pinnacle of the true spirit of higher education.

In addition, using other editor will give students more flexibility and functionality to build a page. o We can instead suggest students to use the built-in HTML editor when they have uploaded a file to the system but want to make some minor changes. o If we suggest other softwares, we have to make sure computers in the faculty computer labs also have the softwares installed too. • Discourage the use of Microsoft word or FrontPage to create HTML files. Since these softwares do not create standard HTML files, it causes a lot of problem when students try to format the pages or change the looking feel of their e-Portfolio. This also creates obstacles for us to troubleshoot students’ problems. We will instead recommend students to use other software (e.g. Netscape or Mozilla Composer, NVU (Mac), or Dreamweaver (Commercial)). • Redesign the template o Not to insert an anchor right before the headings where students might want to change the text, to avoid students from removing the anchors accidentally. o CSS: use an external CSS stylesheet to decrease the file size o Might want to consider creating different pages rather than one long page.
