Abstract:
This paper examines video game sales by platform in the global market from a period spanning 2006 through 2011. As the home video game industry has rapidly matured and become established as a forefront facet of interactive entertainment in the home, we seek to determine what aspects of the video game market have the greatest impact on sales. This question is particularly poignant, as the maturation of the video game industry has witnessed efforts at both vertical integration and horizontal expansion on the part of the top game publishers and developers in hopes of solidly grounding the industry. This study employs a Kruskal-Wallis test to compare eight different gaming platforms. The results indicate Nintendos Wii was the top selling global platform; Nintendo DS was the second tier; Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and the personal computer (PC) are in the third tier; the fourth tier consists of Sony PlayStation 2 and Sony PSP; and the retired sixth generation Nintendo GameCube is the lowest sales tier.

Abstract:
Background: One of the goals for a Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) system is implementation in the clinical practice of pathology. One of the unresolved problems in accomplishing this goal is the speed of the entire process, i.e., from viewing the slides through making the final diagnosis. Most users are not satisfied with the correct viewing speeds of available systems. We have evaluated a new WSI viewing station and tool that focuses on speed.Method: A prototype WSI viewer based on PlayStation®3 with wireless controllers was evaluated at the Department of Pathology at MGH for the following reasons: 1. For the simulation of signing-out cases; 2. Enabling discussion at a consensus conference; and 3. Use at slide seminars during a Continuing Medical Education course.Results: Pathologists were being able to use the system comfortably after 0–15 min training. There were no complaints regarding speed. Most pathologists were satisfied with the functionality, usability and speed of the system. The most difficult situation was simulating diagnostic sign-out.Conclusion: The preliminary results of adapting the Sony PlayStation®3 (PS3®) as an ultra-high speed WSI viewing system were promising. The achieved speed is consistent with what would be needed to use WSI in daily practice.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the first video game in theZettai Zetsumei Toshi(2002, Disaster Report) series for Sony's PlayStation 2 console against the backdrop of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. In the game, players must use limited resources to escape from an earthquake-stricken city while rescuing other survivors. The article argues that the game makes visible the marginal victims and narratives of survival often erased under the collective rhetoric of national trauma. This is explored in relation to disaster photography and artistic representations of 3.11. The article suggests that the game's narrative rejects governmental rhetoric about nuclear energy and that the gameplay mechanisms utilize “limited engagement” or a form of operationalized weakness in order to communicate victimhood to players. The article concludes with an examination of how the in-game disaster photography inscribes players’ actions, making it more difficult to subsume these images into a generalized account of natural disaster trauma.

Abstract:

Syfte och frågeställningar

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det föreligger en signifikant skillnad i energiutgift vid spelande på den nya generationens spelkonsol, Nintendo Wii (Wii), jämfört med en traditionell spelkonsol, Sony Playstation 2 (PS2). De frågeställningar studien utgick ifrån var;

Föreligger det, konsolerna emellan, en skillnad avseende energiutgift vid spelande?

Hur skulle en eventuell skillnad i energiutgift kunna påverka en användares kroppsvikt?

Vilka andra fysiska aktiviteter kan tv-spelande jämföras med, avseende energiutgift?

Metod

Testpersonerna, 13 män och 5 kvinnor, testades med avseende på O2-förbrukning samt CO2-produktion på två spel per konsol. Spelen som testades var ”Wii Tennis”, ”Next Generation Tennis” (PS2), ”Wii Boxing” samt ”Knockout Kings 2002” (PS2). Utandningsluften samlades in kontinuerligt under spel enligt Douglas Bag-metodik. Varannan försöksperson utförde testen i omvänd ordning för att undvika systematiska effekter av testordning.

Resultat

Medelskillnaden i energiutgift vid spelande av tennis på Wii jämfört med PS2 beräknades till 1,85 kcal/min (95 % CI: 1,43–2,27). Vid boxning var medelskillnaden mellan Wii och PS2 3,93 kcal/min (95 % CI: 3,27–4,60). Medelskillnaden i hjärtfrekvens vid spelande av tennis på Wii jämfört med PS2 mättes till 20,56 slag/min (95 % CI: 14,90–26,21). Vid boxning var medelskillnaden mellan Wii och PS2 37,83 slag/min (95 % CI: 28,81–46,85). Energiutgiften vid boxning på Wii kan jämföras med den vid rask promenad eller lätt jogging. Beroende på vilket spel som väljs att spela tyder resultaten på att regelbunden användning av Wii skulle kunna bidra till bibehållande av kroppsvikt detta förutsatt att spelande ersätter en annars mindre energikrävande aktivitet eller sysselsättning såsom traditionellt TV-spelande eller stillasittande.

Slutsats

Slutsatsen av våra resultat är att det föreligger en skillnad i energiutgift vid spel av liknande art på Nintendo Wii och Sony Playstation 2. Det är även tydligt att beroende på vilket spel som väljs till konsolen varierar energiutgiften. Det går heller inte att utesluta att regelbundet spelande skulle kunna leda till en viktreducering som följd av en förhöjd energiförbrukning hos användaren.

Abstract:
Der Artikel untersucht einen Werbespot von David Lynch für die Playstation 2 und ordnet ihn in das Universum der Lynch’schen Texte, das Lynchville, ein. Zunächst werden dazu einige regelmäßig wiederkehrende Motive aus dem Werk Lynchs vorgestellt. Es folgt eine eingehende Analyse des Werbespots, in der zahlreiche Parallelen zu den bekannten Filmen des Œuvres aufgezeigt werden. Abschließend wird kurz der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern der Begriff „auteur“ in dieser wohl kommerziellsten aller filmischen Ausdrucksformen überhaupt anwendbar ist. Der Artikel kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass es Lynch in diesem Werbespot gelingt, eine persönliche Visiondurchscheinen zu lassen – und dass die Karte des Lynchville deshalb um einen neuen Ort ergänzt werden muss
The article analyzes a television-commercial, which David Lynch shot for the launch of Playstation 2. It tries to introduce that commercial into the universe of well known Lynch-Movies, the Lynchville. At first, some of the recurrent motives in Lynch’s work will be discussed. Then the commercial will be analyzed, especially regarding any parallels to Lynch’s Œuvre. Finally, the question will shortly be discussed whether in this most commercial form of filmmaking the term “auteur” can still apply. The article comes to the conclusion, that Lynch succeeds in maintaining his personal vision – and that therefore the map of Lynchville has to be expanded

The video game industry has seen enormous growth in recent years. As well as the increasing complexity and power of the game console hardwares, such as PlayStation2 (PS2), Gamecube and Xbox and other embedded system, which result in the knowledge demand of vector programming for programmers. Among these game consoles, PS2 is the hardest in both hardware and software. Since PS2 hardware is totally different from PC''s and there lacks of complete libraries and documentations of software. Comparing to other game consoles and PC, learning curve of PS2 programming is much steep. It''s not easy to get certain achievement. PS2 programming is difficult, however, PS2 has very outstanding rendering and floating point computing performance. In addition to the gaming usage, PS2 can be used in scientific computing and embedded system applications. With the improvement of VLSI process and SoC (System on Chip) technology, Sony has been doing the integration of PS2 chips. In the near future, Sony will launch related digital CE of PS2 integration chips. In May 2002, Sony also release the user''s development kit of PS2 - Linux for PlayStation2 (PS2Linux) which allowing users to access almost complete PS2 hardware functions. PS2Linux kit is very cheap, not like other embedded system development set which cost much more, therefore common students can afford one. In addition, PS2 is even more powerful, the appliance range is wider and it is easy to have one. PS2 also can be used in school courses, such as computer architecture, paralllel processing, embedded system related research, high performance computing, parallel computing, network server and audio/video player etc. In this thesis, we go inside the PS2 hardware function by analyzing the design concept and PS2 programming model. PS2 has the features - powerful redering and calculation performance, high expansion, Linux open source operating system and development tools, with embedded system characteristics and is easy to get one. We believe there are going to be more related researches and applications based on PS2. We hope this thesis could be helpful for the development of 3D graphics hardware, game console and embedded system.

The first topic of this thesis is a high-speed digital clock generator circuit is presented to provide negative delays in order to avoid a multi-locking hazard. The negative delay also results in small power consumption and shorter access time if the proposed circuit is used in the clock generator circuit of memory devices. Meanwhile, an accurately locked clock signal is also provided. The locked clock signal can be as high as 1.0 GHz at the presence of a random noise with 10% of power supply voltage when the design is implemented by TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 0.35um CMOS 1P4M technol- ogy. 　　The second topic of this thesis is an 1-to-4 joystick enhanced interface which can be attached to SONY PS2 (playstation 2) is developed. The enhanced interface can allow 4 persons to play simultaneously through one port at the original game console. A total of 8 players can be supported when two of the interfaces hook up with both joystick ports of the console. The multiple player entertainment effect can be drastically enhanced by the usage of such an interface.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces and operationalizes an innovative interpretive strategy called “existential ludology” to explain how the game-play mechanics of two tactical shooter video games?America’s Army: Rise of a Soldier (Microsoft’s Xbox) and Full Spectrum Warrior (Sony’s PlayStation 2)?educate gamers on how to play militarily. These titles, both produced in part by the U.S. Department of Defense, engender strict, doctrinal learning opportunities by embedding official combat protocols into their game-play structures. By employing existential ludology as an interpretive tool we can understand these military-backed games from an experiential, player-centric perspective, while also recognizing how their seemingly innocuous game-play is located within, and linked to, larger networks of power. Moreover, existential ludology’s flexibility as an interpretive instrument encourages educators to recognize the educational affordances of popular video games so that they might adopt these popular media artifacts for their own pedagogical ends.

Abstract:
Interview with Anthony Davidson, SuperAguri F1 GP Driver (autosport.com, March 2, 2007): Q: Can you actually learn anything from the [F1 videogame] though? AD: Absolutely. When I did the 2004 season, I really relied on having video data from the team and using the PlayStation games as well to learn the circuits. We always deal in corner numbers, we don’t use the proper corner names, so we have a little map in the car with the numbers. For you to visualize it beforehand is a help, because when they talk about a bump in turn three then you know what they are talking about before you have even walked the circuit or seen any onboard footage. You know roughly what the track looks like and when you get out there you smile because it is exactly what you were doing in your living room. And now the graphics have stepped up another level it is so much more realistic. F1 drivers can benefit from computer simulations, with a supplement of training before racing on a newly built circuit, with no consolidated knowledge. Managers (and students, too) can benefit from PC-based simulations that recreate complex business worlds as well. Books contain theories, along with a good number of examples. Computer-based business games can add dynamism and a temporal dimension to the standard managerial theories contained in books. Many researchers think that the potential of the computer as a learning tool is very high if we involve the user in a simulation process, instead of giving him a description of reality. This theory is confirmed by many field examples, as shown before by the Formula 1 pilot, who adopts a particular software in order to learn how to drive on a circuit that he has not tested directly. U.S. Marines play Quake and Unreal to simulate the mission in which they will be involved. Business games, finally, start to be adopted in managerial education as learning support tools. For example, EIS simulation has been developed at Insead Business School in order to simulate organizational change, while FirmReality has been developed at Bocconi University to study the integrated use of organizational capabilities to gain competitive advantage. Scientific and managerial literatures recognize the potential of these instruments for learning purposes (compatible with andragogical and collaborative learning theories), but cannot address their design and the integration within distance-learning practices. The current debate on computer simulations involves the research and the standardization of rules for the project phases, in order to take advantage of the potential attributed to this tool, and enhance the compatibility between managers/students and this form of learning.
