Normanowie, wikingowie a ich przedstawienia w świecie gier komputerowych (na wybranych przykładach)
2018
Pomimo ogromnego postępu w badaniach skandynawskich i normańskich, istnieje jeszcze pole we współczesnej popkulturze, które powiela pewne stare stereotypy. To rynek gier komputero-wych, który kwitnie od ponad czterdziestu lat. Dlatego w artykule przedstawiono to zjawisko chronologicznie – na wybranych przykładach od lat 80. do chwili obecnej. Uczyniono to na pod-stawie tytułów na komputery C, najczęściej strategii i gier R G (Role laying Games), ponieważ ta platforma jest jedną z najstarszych i pomimo szybkiego rozwoju konsol, wciąż im nie uległa. Niestety, nie istnieje literatury naukowa poświęcona wikingom i Normanom w grach wideo, więc do pewnego stopnia badania są pionierskie. Podczas g…

Improving the game with user generated content : an overview of Skyrim mod users
2017
Käyttäjien luoma sisältö on merkittävä ja kasvava osa videopelikulttuuria. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee fanien luomia ohjelmistomuokkauksia, modeja, joilla muutetaan tai lisätään sisältöä peleissä. Tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää modien käyttäjien motivaatiota sekä tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat modien käyttämisen yleisyyteen. Vaikka modeja on tutkittu akateemisesti, on tutkimus modien käyttäjien näkökulmasta jäänyt hyvin vähäiseksi. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin suositun roolipelin, Skyrimin saatavilla olevia modeja. Empiirinen osuus toteutettiin kuvailevana kyselytutkimuksena, joka kohdistettiin erääseen suureen Skyrim-modiyhteisöön. Kyselyssä selvitettiin modien käyttöön liittyviä ta…

Punchline behind the hotspot : structures of humor, puzzle, and sexuality in adventure games (with Leisure Suit Larry in Several Wrong Places)
2021
Back in the late 1970s and early 1980s, during the embryonic era of computers, hackers, and all that digitalized punk jazz, who would have guessed that one of the period’s juvenile narrative arts—“interactive fiction” it was called at the time—would soon lead to a pop cultural revolution? A young scholar named Mary Ann Buckles did. Having spent years analyzing a piece of software that the present history knows as the most influential of all computerized text-based playthings, Adventure, in 1985, Buckles eventually completed her doctoral dissertation with a first-ever focus on something that had thus far been struggling to be taken seriously by cultural critics: storygames running on compute…
