I´m in Dublin, Ireland right now, waiting for another build for The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. As I said to my daughter I´m learning Spyro to speak Danish. Well, sort of makes sense, doesn´t it.

Gary Gygax is dead Yesterday, Gary Gygax died at the age of 69. He was the inventor of a new media: role-playing games. His influence on geek culture was immense and certainly videogames today would have been a lot more boring without his visions. He encouraged what is now known as user-generated content by putting up a system in which the players themselves were able to put thoughts and ideas

Konzackism Konzackism is the belief that game and narrative may co-exist in videogames. Contrary to ludologists and narratologists thinking that say videogames should be studied as either games or narratives, Konzackism is a moderate ludologist perspective that says games should primarily be considered as games and consequently be studied as such but if there is any narrative content then that

Lovecraft deconstructed I came across an old post-structuralist approach to H. P. Lovecraft in Donald R. Burleson: "Lovecraft: Disturbing the Universe" (1990). Well, I don't know what to say. The work really shows how dogmatic post-structuralism really is (even though they themselves claim differently). Every short story is self-reflective, subversive, labyrinthic. illogical etc. This may

Willing Suspension of Disbelief vs. Inner Consistency of Reality Whenever I hear the term Willing Suspernsion of Disbelief it hurts, because the idea is that when I approach the fictious world I'm supposed to believe in anything. I can see what comes out of this concept and it's simply bad game worlds without inner consistency of reality. If game worlds are approached as something that is given

The Player's Realm The Player's Realm has been released. Digital games have become an increasingly pervasive aspect of everyday life as well as an embattled cultural phenomenon in the twenty-first century. As new media technologies diffuse around the world and as the depth and complexity of gaming networks increase, scholars are becoming increasingly savvy in their approach to digital games.

Knudepunkt 2007: from Denmark with love February 15th to 18th 2007 at Helsinge in Denmark. Knudepunkt is a larp (live action role-playing) conference that shifts between the Scandinavian countries. It was my first Knudepunkt and even though I do not consider myself a larper, I must say it was a marvelous conference. Personally I would have prefered to hear more of P&P (pen and paper) role-playing
