Je sais, vous ne connaissez pas Brive, mais pour les gens d’ici, c’est New York. Je vais vous conter mon histoire : ma passion pour les jeux vidéo, mon père absent, ma mère malade et obsédée par les blacks, ma petite sœur décédée... et mon départ du village. » À travers un jeune homme déraciné pour qui les jeux vidéo sont le seul moyen d’expression, voire d’existence, Thomté Ryam explore les rapports que la société tisse avec la violence, entre fascination et répulsion.
Book Synopsis Gaming and Gamers in Times of Pandemic by : Piotr Siuda
Download or read book Gaming and Gamers in Times of Pandemic written by Piotr Siuda and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection brings in multiple scholarly perspectives to examine the impact of the pandemic and resulting government policies, especially lockdowns, on one particular cultural sphere: games. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted virtually every aspect of our lives, regardless of where we live. In the initial months, many industry reports noted the unexpected positive impact on online digital game sales. Games were not just lockdown-proof, but boosted by lockdowns. Stay-at-home orders triggered a rush toward games as an alternative form of entertainment, and the ubiquity of mobile phones allowed wider than ever participation. Gaming and Gamers in Times of Pandemic studies how the COVID-19 pandemic affected game players, game developers, game journalists and game scholars alike in many other ways, starting with the most direct – illness, and sometimes death. Some effects are temporary, others are here to stay.
Book Synopsis Video Games Around the World by : Mark J. P. Wolf
Download or read book Video Games Around the World written by Mark J. P. Wolf and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty-nine essays explore the vast diversity of video game history and culture across all the world's continents. Video games have become a global industry, and their history spans dozens of national industries where foreign imports compete with domestic productions, legitimate industry contends with piracy, and national identity faces the global marketplace. This volume describes video game history and culture across every continent, with essays covering areas as disparate and far-flung as Argentina and Thailand, Hungary and Indonesia, Iran and Ireland. Most of the essays are written by natives of the countries they discuss, many of them game designers and founders of game companies, offering distinctively firsthand perspectives. Some of these national histories appear for the first time in English, and some for the first time in any language. Readers will learn, for example, about the rapid growth of mobile games in Africa; how a meat-packing company held the rights to import the Atari VCS 2600 into Mexico; and how the Indonesian MMORPG Nusantara Online reflects that country's cultural history and folklore. Every country or region's unique conditions provide the context that shapes its national industry; for example, the long history of computer science in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia, the problems of piracy in China, the PC Bangs of South Korea, or the Dutch industry's emphasis on serious games. As these essays demonstrate, local innovation and diversification thrive alongside productions and corporations with global aspirations.

Book excerpt: Tristan est un concepteur de jeux vidéo. Il vient de créer RePlay, un programme révolutionnaire qui permet de revivre son passé et defaire d'autres choix. Il l'envoie à quelques milliers de fan pour le tester, et surtout l'adresse à Lois, sa muse, qui refuse pourtant d'avoir des contacts avec lui. Malgré tout, celle-ci se laisse séduire par les possibilités qu'offre le jeu, jusqu'au moment où elle réalise qu'elle est complètement sous son emprise : l'intelligence artificielle prend le contrôle de la vie des joueurs. Face à ces dérives violentes, à la manipulation dont joue Tristan et afin de sauver son intégrité, Lois n'a pas d'autre alternative que de le confronter afin de lui faire détruire le dangereux programme, au risque d'y laisser beaucoup d'elle-même... À partir d'un drame intime, et d'une héroïne à laquelle nous pouvons tous nous identifier, Elena Sender réalise un suspense psychologique sidérant sur notre société hyper connectée, où l'intelligence artificielle et la réalité virtuelle dictent nos vies, peut-être même jusqu'à notre propre mort.

Book Synopsis Intermedia Games—Games Inter Media by : Michael Fuchs
Download or read book Intermedia Games—Games Inter Media written by Michael Fuchs and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com While all media are part of intermedial networks, video games are often at the nexus of that network. They not only employ cinematics, embedded books, and in-world television screens for various purposes, but, in our convergence culture, video games also play a vital role in allowing players to explore transmedia storyworlds. At the same time, video games are frequently thematized and remediated in film, television, and literature. Indeed, the central role video games assume in intermedial networks provides testament to their significance in the contemporary media environment. In this volume, an international group of contributors discuss not only intermedial phenomena in video games, but also the intermedial networks surrounding them. Intermedia Games-Games Inter Media will deepen readers' understanding of the convergence culture of the early twenty-first century and video games' role in it.
Book Synopsis The Meaning of Video Games by : Steven E. Jones
Download or read book The Meaning of Video Games written by Steven E. Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Meaning of Video Games takes a textual studies approach to an increasingly important form of expression in today’s culture. It begins by assuming that video games are meaningful–not just as sociological or economic or cultural evidence, but in their own right, as cultural expressions worthy of scholarly attention. In this way, this book makes a contribution to the study of video games, but it also aims to enrich textual studies. Early video game studies scholars were quick to point out that a game should never be reduced to merely its "story" or narrative content and they rightly insist on the importance of studying games as games. But here Steven E. Jones demonstrates that textual studies–which grows historically out of ancient questions of textual recension, multiple versions, production, reproduction, and reception–can fruitfully be applied to the study of video games. Citing specific examples such as Myst and Lost, Katamari Damacy, Halo, Façade, Nintendo’s Wii, and Will Wright’s Spore, the book explores the ways in which textual studies concepts–authorial intention, textual variability and performance, the paratext, publishing history and the social text–can shed light on video games as more than formal systems. It treats video games as cultural forms of expression that are received as they are played, out in the world, where their meanings get made.
