Abstract:
Who is a gamer? What kind of people are perceived to be gamers? And finally – who perceives themselves as a gamer? In this article the authors attempt to answer these three questions from a multinational perspective. Background. Games are nowadays one of the most frequently encountered forms of entertainment and constitute an ever-increasing part of many people’s day-to-day lives. With the rising popularity of video games, there is a need to conduct a research concerning gamer identity and to find out who perceives themselves as a gamer. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the survey conducted in two different countries to better understand the characteristics of players that self-identified as gamers. Methods. The quantitative study was conducted in two countries – Poland and the United States – in order to research gamer identity. The questionnaire consisted of questions about the self-identification as a gamer, time spent playing video games, types of games played, and the platforms used. It was conducted among 223 students who play video games. Results. The results show that there are both similarities and differences in the meaning of gamer identity between Poland and the United States. People who consider themselves gamers generally spend more time playing games than non-gamers regardless of the country. However, some differences can be spotted between Poland and the U.S. concerning among others types of games played, used platforms or different styles of playing video games. Limitations and further research. The main problem in the study was the limited age range in the sample. In the future it seems valuable to include people of different age groups to broaden the study of self-identified gamer identity.

Abstract:
In the video game industry, older adults tend to be avid consumers. Although considerable research has been devoted to the positive cognitive effects of video games, less attention has been paid to the older adult gamer profile. The aim of this paper is to describe a survey conducted from November 2012 until May 2013, which includes 245 gamers aged 50 and over, about their game preferences. Specifically, the authors examined: (a) what types of video games are played and (b) what leads these players to be engaged by video games. The results indicate that adventure games with problem-solving are preferred, suggesting the skills that participants would like to practise. The study provides insight into a new video gamer profile.

Abstract:
This article aims to answer the following question: can video games be a dynamic medium for globalizing an adapted work of literature to be later played and received by gamers who might learn and increase their literary and cultural knowledge? World literature scholarship, gamer-response theory, game studies research, and my experience of playing Assassin’s Creed (2007) were used to explore how video games can globalize world literature to increase readership. The video game Assassin’s Creed (2007), adapted from Bartol’s Alamut (1938), was used to both discuss how world literature can be transmitted via video games and demonstrate how video game adaptations can be beneficial for learning and increasing global readership among gamers. The process of globalizing Alamut via Assassin’s Creed is shown by focusing on how the game employs different themes taken from the novel, its narrative, and some actual historical characters and places, such Acre, Jerusalem, Damascus, and Masyaf castle. Using literary novels and adapting them as video games can be adequate for incorporating those novels into world literature because the novel’s narrative is transmitted and exposed to gamers worldwide, thereby facilitating the transmission process of the novel’s content. Thus, it is recommended that the possibility of expanding world literature should be explored via adaptations of novels into video games.

Abstract:
The term “gamer” is commonly used to refer to individuals who play video games frequently. However, building on Self- Determination theory (SDT) and the Dualistic Model of Passion (DMP), we argue that it may be more theoretically and practically useful to operationalize individuals as “gamers” versus “non- gamers” based on their identification and passion for gaming rather than based on how frequently individuals play video games. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to compare four groups, those who identify as gamers or non-gamers with those who have frequent use or not, on independent variables of gaming engagement, motivation, and problematic gaming. Participants (N = 1,050; 70.1% males; Mage = 23.74 years, SD = 6.48 years) completed measures online. Results revealed that identifying as a gamer was a stronger predictor of levels of gaming engagement, motivation, and problematic gaming compared to frequent use. Findings highlight the potential of SDT and DMP for understanding gamer characteristics.

Abstract:
Video games have many genres and for this research, the author focuses on survival genre Video games. Video games with the survival genre give players freedom and try to survive in the world provided by the video game. Because players are free to explore in the video game, the visuals or graphics in the world in the video game will greatly affect the player's interest, but there are survival video games that have good visuals but don't have many interests like Fallalypse and Age of Survival where both video games have a Very Negative rating. However, there is one survival video game that doesn't have good visuals and only relies on unique gameplay but has a lot of interest and that video game is Minecraft. The purpose of this research is to find out the interest of players or gamers in video games in the survival genre. This study used quasi-experimental and qualitative methods on 14 participants with an age range of 18-26 years. After the quasi-experiments and qualitative were completed, the authors were able to receive one conclusion about gamers’ preference in survival video games, gamers prefer playing survival video games. which are not too realistic or similar to the real world in terms of difficulty, but gamers prefer to see visuals or graphics that are realistic or similar to the real world.

Abstract:
Individuals who partake in video games are often regarded with prejudice. It is an activity that is perceived to be mainly related to senseless leisure and teenage entertainment. However, many diverse people make video games such an important part of their lives that they become passionately engaged in it. Video games and online video gaming offer the player immersive experiences unlike any other forms of media. A phenomenological and interpretive exploration is undertaken in order to gain a deeper understanding of the narratives of online gamers and their experiences of a sense of belonging to the associated online communities. Through the use of in-depth interviews, the article explores various aspects of the life stories of a group of eight South African university students. It attempts to show how online gaming has become a part of their lifeworlds. The aim of this article is to present the narratives of online gamers as rich and descriptive accounts that maintain the voices of the participants. Various aspects of the lifeworlds of online gamers are explored. Firstly, an exploration is undertaken to gain an understanding of what it means to be a gamer. It focuses on how a person can become involved with gaming and how it can evolve into something that a person is engaged with on a daily basis. Secondly, it explores how video games influence the perception of reality of gamers. Immersion in video games can transfer a player into an alternative reality and can take the focus away from the real world. This can lead to feelings of joy and excitement, but can also lead to escapism. Lastly, the article shifts attention towards how online video gamers experience online communities. Players can have positive experiences with random strangers online, but because of the anonymous nature of the online environment, it can also lead to negative and isolating experiences.

Abstract:
The goals of this project was to learn the industry standards of what good and challenging game AI was. The author reviewed literature on the topic and had personal correspondence where the research questions was answered by professionals within the field. The availability of open literature and the openness of the professionals really helped with understanding the industry standards to game AI.Using the information from the research a prototype system adhering to the industry standard was made with the intention of expanding it into an experimental prototype using unorthodox techniques to achieve the appearance of intelligence. By practical application of the methods learned it became apparent certain theoretical ideas was not optimally compatible with the provided framework. And a redesign of the conflicting module was nescecary.The system implemented performed well within the industry standards. But no experimental prototyping of unorthodox methods could be made with the system due to lack of time to implement such features. A couple of optimality tweaks been discovered since the end of the implementation phase of the project and the author will keep theese in mind when continuing work on the system in the future.

Abstract:
Video Games Xchange (VGX) se crea con la finalidad de interactuar y conectar a aquellos usuarios que gustan de los videojuegos en nuestro país; ya que dicha industria en el Perú, en estos últimos años, mueve 138 millones de dólares cada año; que nos ubica en el puesto 49 a nivel mundial en este rubro. Nuestra empresa se inicia con un estudio de mercado en los diversos sectores del país donde haya más demanda de videojuegos, y poder ver el comportamiento de los usuarios tanto en la variedad que pueda existir en nuestro mercado interior como en el exterior. En la actualidad en el Perú el 76% de Gamers son hombres a diferencia del 24% que son mujeres, de los cuales el 32% juega en plataformas de consolas como el Play Station, XBOX, Nintendo 64, entre otros. Como dato a resaltar en Latinoamérica se genera el 3.6% del total de 137, 900 billones de dólares en el mundo por ingresos de videojuegos. Para llevar a cabo nuestro proyecto se va requerir una inversión inicial de S/ 92,580.00, financiado un 40% de inversionistas y un 60% con el aporte los socios, que se estima recuperarlo en el tercer año de su operación.
Video Games Xchange (VGX) was created with the idea of implementing a platform that allows people, who enjoy video games in our country, to connect and interact, given that such industry (video gaming) in Peru has generated about $138 million dollars in last the year, placing Peru in 49th place worldwide in this industry. The idea of the business starts with a market study of the gaming industry in the different sectors of the Peruvian population, segregated by the different regions, given that the preferences vary based on the local culture. Furthermore, we have analyzed and compared the local and international market to fully understand and forecast the development of our gaming platform and their futures grow in the global market. Nowadays and while reviewing the statistical data, we have identified that in Peru about 76% of gamers are men and 24%, are women. Of this population, approximately 32% use video consoles such as Play Station, XBOX and Nintendo Switch. This information is key for our project since it shows that a there is a solid gaming market in Perú. For the execution our business project, we will require funds in the sum of S/92,000, part of this will be financed, with an initially structured to be 40% funded by investors and 60% with paid in capital from our shareholders. The return of the invested capital is estimated to be fulfilled in the second year of operations, as it is reflected in the cash flow of our business plan.

Abstract:
In this dissertation I look at various ways in which the relation between gamers and games has been discussed in video game culture in recent years. Gamers and games are currently being positioned by many scholars and industry experts as experiencing a series of major changes. From one perspective, gamers are said to be getting more and more access to the means of production of video games. Video games, in turn, are frequently analysed in terms of the effects they can have on their users. I argue that the discourses surrounding these phenomena have the effect of reinforcing the separation between gamers and games, considering both terms as separate and distinct entities. Throughout this dissertation I offer a series of readings of the relationship between the two, of how this relationship is currently being discussed by various actors and of how it could be narrated otherwise. I look at the narratives about the historical origins of both gamers and games, the conflicts between consumers and publishers, the production of independent games and the use of games for doing things. Drawing on deconstruction (Derrida 1976, 1980, 1985, 1988) and cultural and media studies scholarship, I interrogate the mechanisms behind many of the stories surrounding the contaminated and parasitical relations (Serres 1982) between gamers and games, whereby both categories are seen as emerging from the process of boxing consumers and products into discrete entities. I offer a reading of contemporary video game culture through a study that aims to encourage all of us who study and play (with) games to raise ethical questions for our own role in shaping the objects of research and for our involvement in the discourses we produce, as both gamers and scholars. What is ultimately at stake in this project is the possibility of outlining an alternative mode of thinking about the medium of the video game, one that blurs the distinction between studying, playing, making and living with video games through the invention of narratives about the unresolved relations (Laclau and Mouffe 1985) between gamers and games.

Abstract:
Video games as an entertainment form are very popular. Understanding what video games do to us in a long-term and short-term manner is therefore of interest. Attention is a widely studied field and research into how attentional networks are affected by video is a research field on the rise. Here, I will be investigating how video game play affects our attentional networks and if it is possible for elderly individuals to train their attentional networks with video games. Video game players have high performance in reaction time and accuracy in different attentional, working memory, and cognitive control tasks. As the difficulty of video games increase video game players seem to more efficiently utilize their attentional networks. Whilst some articles cannot replicate findings in other articles this irregularity might be explained with by level of difficulty or load during task performance. Studies see group differences only when the task difficulty is high. Therefore, an important part of video game research is to find an effective and replicable standard for video game research. Measuring video game play with EEG shows that players better can forgo distracting stimuli in central and peripheral view and discriminating stimuli giving video game players more confidence when making decisions. Video game players also seem to have more efficient processes and functional connectivity in attentional networks but utilizing these networks more as non-video game players as mental load increases. Not only does video game players have more efficient attentional networks, but attentional benefits from video games is also something that can be trained with those who do not play video games. Suggesting that older individuals can utilize video games to train attentional networks.

Abstract:

Video games are very popular among children in the Western world. This study was done in order to investigate if video games had an effect on 49 Swedish students‟ comprehension of English words (grades 7-8). The investigation was based on questionnaire and word test data. The questionnaire aimed to measure with which frequency students were playing video games, and the word test aimed to measure their word comprehension in general. In addition, data from the word test were used to investigate how students explained the words. Depending on their explanations, students were categorized as either using a “video game approach” or a “dictionary approach” in their explanations.

The results showed a gender difference, both with regard to the frequency of playing and what types of games that were played. Playing video games seemed to increase the students‟ comprehension of English words, though there was no clear connection between the frequency with which students were playing video games and the choice of a dictionary or video game approach as an explanation.

Abstract:
Kunskapen om TV- och datorspelmissbruk bland ungdomar är idag väldigt begränsad. Stillasittande/fysisk inaktivitet, som TV- och datorspel ofta innebär och som kan innebära negativa konsekvenser, blir allt vanligare. En semistrukturerad intervjustudie har genomförts på sju män i åldersgruppen 17-29 år i syfte att undersöka drivkrafterna bakom mäns spelbeteende i tonåren. Dessutom har information om spelmissbruk bland ungdomar inhämtats av fyra yrkesverksamma inom spelområdet. Detta samt kopplingar mellan TV- och datorspel och spel om pengar har gjorts p g a bristen på forskning om TV- och datorspel. De före detta spelmissbrukarna har kategoriserats som fritidsspelare och spelproblematiker (som lyckats sluta missbruka spel på egen hand), samt spelberoende, som fått avstå helt från spel för att få ett slut på sitt missbruk, medan övriga än idag kan spela i måttlig och ytterst liten mängd. Verklig och upplevd kontroll över sig själva och omgivningen har varit viktiga determinanter för informanternas spelmissbruk. Anledningarna till att de slutade/minskade på spelandet är att de i huvudsak tappade intresset för spel (dock inte helt), fick andra prioriteringar och/eller inte ville få återfall där de återgår till sitt gamla missbruksbeteende. Spelandet har haft en funktion som flykt från en problematisk livssituation, vilken med tiden endast förvärrats för de spelberoende parallellt med missbruket. Även upplevelsen av direkt, tillfällig tillfredsställelse har varit en stor drivkraft samtidigt som det har lett till spelmissbruket. Det tidsödande fritidsintresset fick konsekvenser på den psykiska och fysiska hälsan och beteendet, utvecklingen, relationer till närstående, familjesituationen, skolgången, den sociala etableringen samt den socioekonomiska situationen, vilket sammanfattningsvis ledde till att informanterna utvecklade en ohälsosam och ofta destruktiv livsstil.
The knowledge of computer- and video game abuse and addiction among young people is very limited today. The sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity that computer- and video games often involve can have negative consequences, and are becoming more common. A semi-structured interview was conducted on seven men between the ages of 17-29 in order to examine the driving forces behind men’s gaming behavior in their adolescence. In addition, information about game abuse among young people was gathered from professionals in the area of computer- and video games. This and links between computer- and video games and gambling have been made due to the lack of research on video and computer games. The former video game addicts have been categorized as recreational players, game problematics (who by themselves managed to stop abusing games) and game addicts, who have completely abstained from gaming to put an end to their addiction, while the others still play moderately and very little today. Actual and perceived control over themselves and their environment has been important determinants for the player’s former addiction. The reason why they stopped/decreased the gaming is essentially because they lost interest in games (not completely though), got other priorities and/or did not want to relapse and return to old problematic behavior. Gaming as an escape from a problematic life situation was a common feature among the addicts. The situation for the game addicts only worsened with time along with their game abuse. Although the experience of direct, incidental satisfaction has been a major driving force, it simultaneously led to game abuse. The time-consuming leisure activity had consequences on the mental and physical health, behavior and social development, as well as on the relationships to relatives, family situation, school attendance, social establishment and socioeconomic situation. To sum up, the informants developed an unhealthy and often destructive lifestyle because of the game habits.

Abstract:
Mankind has developed a lot in the field of Information Technology (IT), Computer Science and Media entertainment. Video games are also the most popular form of media entertainment and gaming environment. It has been popular long before the new generation video games idea was ever thought by the video game designers. Through our research we tried to investigate the positive and negative effects of video games on youth and children. This form of entertainment is more designed attracted among the people, due to the high sophisticated music and environment, which catches every eye. We not only analyzed the previous attempts in this area, but also tried to add some contribution to it. The excessive use of video games makes it more damaging effects on a young mind. Parents and teachers should keep a check on youngsters, and also the companies who design such violent games should keep in account that, what they show through these video games must have some logical or educational value. Many children and youngsters we found through our survey like to play video games because they do not have any other entertaining options. Violent video games are the most appreciated one among children and young people because of the detailed high quality graphics, more realistic images, use of artificial intelligence, complex game strategies, intelligent game inference engines and human-machine interaction. Parents should keep check on their children and select such video games for them which teach their children some useful things and beneficial for them in studies and near future. The teachers in school should also talk more about the advantages of educative games or physical games to develop the young minds more professional and realistic, rather than creating fantasy and fake imaginations. Our survey and research showed us that due to the high attraction of the video games, positive and negative effects are going side by side. Many youth and children do not take the video games seriously and just play them as any another game, while some video game players have disturbed their studies and health by playing the video games for many hours. Many children and young generation denied calling it as an addiction or bad habit. If violence and killing a life is entertainment then human beings will consider it, as a fun and modern society cannot be defined as civilized. This is what we found from our research and survey.

Abstract:
Video games are becoming increasingly popular among young people, as the virtual worlds they depict seem to be the preferred refuge when it comes to escaping reality. As educators, we should attempt to study the effects they have on our students' minds and, if proven beneficial, use them in our classrooms to enhance learning (and the motivation for learning) whenever possible. The digital natives we teach nowadays, the so-called screenagers, have high expectations of the classroom settings they are a part of. Technology, therefore, and video games should be present in such learning environments. Moreover, the skills they develop in games should be acknowledged and transferred to real-life settings. Games could help educators reach out to them, bridging the gap between teachers and students in our efforts to provide them with learning contexts endowed with meaning. "Meaning is the feeling that we're part of something bigger than ourselves. It's the belief that our lives matter beyond our own individual lives." (Jane McGonigal, "Reality is broken. Why games make us better and how they can change the world") Therefore, video games players embark on a quest for meaning when entering such virtual worlds as those presented in World of Warcraft, for example. Most games have four defining traits: a goal (the outcome to be achieved), a set of rules (limitations the players have to cope with), a feedback system (informing them on the progress they make, which represents a great motivation to keep on playing), and voluntary participation (the gamer willingly accepts the goal, the rules and the feedback system). Since gaming involves voluntary participation, players are intrinsically motivated to bring their contribution to the epic mission the game takes them on. In addition, the constant feedback given to them is nothing but a strong incentive to continue playing. Hence, games are all about the "epic meaning", the "urgent optimism" players feel, the "social fabric" they weave since quite often gamers need to collaborate with other players to achieve their goals. Therefore, there are all sorts of life skills players acquire in games and, most importantly, they can be transferred to reality, the ability to work as part of a team being one of them. The findings of the present research consist mostly of qualitative data gathered during a case study conducted among middle and high school students. There have been interviews with teenage and young subjects that come to confirm the popularity of games as learning tools and their potential positive results in learning environments. Initially, structured interviews were used, which led to the collection of data further explored in focus group sessions. Using such qualitative research methods, we managed to explore the views, experiences, beliefs and motivations of individual participants regarding gaming, as well as their self-perceived competences acquired while playing video games. Among such competences, we can list: strategy skills from managing cities and taxing them in order to support armies meant to assist the players in expanding on the map (as well as developing historical knowledge) and connection-making abilities from the puzzles they had to solve in order to be able to advance through the game. In addition, the research generated an inventory of video games classified according to their themes and perceived value. The conclusions will be presented in detail during the conference proceedings.

Abstract:
As the popularity of video game playing has increased, educators have sought to co-opt video games as an instructional tool. However, educational games have made little impact in either the commercial market place or the average game player’s home library. The modification, or modding, of video games using in-game editors may be used by instructors to introduce educational content to professionally designed video games. This paper examines the effectiveness of a modified video game, Civilization IV, in improving the comprehension and retention of historical knowledge of 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students. Students exposed to the modified video game significantly improved their immediate recall of knowledge level history items. Students expressed interest in future educational game playing and felt that they had a better understanding of application level history items. While these results are encouraging, the small sample size of this experiment prevents generalization and necessitates further study.

Abstract:
Matilda St?hl, ?bo Akademi University The design of video games encourage playfulness and exploration in an environment that revolves around problem solving. The development of these traits and the learning potential in virtual environments have caught the attention of educators. (Gee & Hayes, 2010.) Video games are a very common motivator in learning how to use new technology; skills the students will have great use of in the future. Although, since gaming is considered unfeminine many girls tend to give up gaming as teenagers and they thereby miss the opportunity to learn how to use new technologies as well as developing their skills in problem solving. (Gee, 2007.) Video games and other virtual learning environments can also be considered as alternative realities where the gamer can become whoever he or she wants. Juul (2009) argues that the gamer's identity is highly characterized by his or her attitude towards gaming and whether he or she is inclined to identify himself or herself as a gamer. Gee notes the relevance of the identity perspective in regard to learning through video games. According to him, the gamer identity consists of three different identities that together form an entirety: the virtual identity, the real life identity and the projective identity where Gee play with the word project and its two meanings. On one hand there is a gamer projecting his or her values and desires onto the virtual character. On the other hand the character can be considered a project where the gamer within the limits of the game creates a personality for their character. (Gee, 2007.) In other words, the girls who give up gaming also miss out the possibility to explore their own identities as well. During eLSE I wish to give a presentation based on my master's thesis on how video games, even commercial ones, can be considered learning environments and how this point of view will evolve in my doctoral thesis.

Abstract:
Games play a significant role in every aspect of human life by offering social interaction and entertainment. Serious games give user the possibility not only to experience situations that in real life are impossible but also to develop and improve skills. Learning is a major objective of serious games, also encountered in many video games, usually accompanying the entertainment function. In the last decade, gaming has become a profitable industry, targeting consumers all over the world. Nevertheless, little is known about Romanian gamers. The present study examines the demographic and psychographic characteristics of Romanian gamers, using a quantitative research employed among subjects aged 18 to 35 years. The purpose is to highlight the attributes that differentiate Romanian gamers from others, especially American and also to examine if there are common features between the communities of gamers. Therefore, the study aims to create a complete profile, based on essential variables that can validate the main hypothesis, Romanian gamers fit into the global trend in terms of demographics and lifestyle. Additionally, the study explores the stereotypes created around gamers, in order to identify the characteristics which conducted to the appearance of clich?s, the goal being to investigate the degree of truth involved by the matter. The article intends to portray the Romanian gamer in order to bring to light a market segment not well addressed. The main findings reveal interesting conclusions about aspects such as gender, intellect, lifestyle and some unique characteristics that distinguish Romanians from other gamers. Moreover, the surprising results answer a few key questions about game consumers and they may represent a starting point for future studies regarding Romanian gamers.

Abstract:
Purpose: The study discusses the importance of branding and the video game industry. Emphasis is placed on brand analysis. The phenomenon of the happiness industry and the video game industry are discussed. Methodology/approach: The research is based on relevant theories of brand management. The study starts from the construct of brand identity according to Kapferer and brand image according to Keller. The context of happiness and the entertainment industry is analysed according to Davies. Results: The paper researches and analyses distinct brands in video games. Video game branding is analysed from the aspect of marketing communication. Brand categories in video games are suggested. Also, the economic impact of the games was analysed. Conclusion: The video game industry is a large market that has overtaken the music and film industries in terms of revenue. Video games should be viewed in a wider social context as a generator of new jobs, creation of new value, but also as a cultural phenomenon. Branding in the video game industry is important for two reasons: creating greater visibility and consolidating an existing position in the market. In other words, we see the brand in video games as an evolutionary process of digital marketing, but also as a digital imprint of an existing brand. Limitations/future research: This study is theoretical and starts from a qualitative methodology, i.e. thematic literature analysis. Further empirical research can be conducted on different game types, consumer type and by gaming platform to identify the existing market.

Abstract:
Brain lateralization refers to hemispheric dominance for different tasks. Lateralization of the brain and body has been consistently reported in the literature. An extreme right-hand preference has been reported among most people throughout the world. However, gesture control involves coordination among the eye, hand, and foot, and the lateralization pattern of all three is expected to influence such gestures. This study examines the effect of lateral bias in gesture-based video games. The experiment involved 23 students playing a gesture- based game on an Xbox console to determine the interplay of hand-foot lateralization in gesture-based games. The findings are discussed in light of game design and lateral bias in gesture-based games.

Abstract:
Video games can be used to counter extremist ideologies by highlighting the dangers of hate speech and promoting tolerance and understanding. This can be done through educational games and by incorporating messages of inclusivity and diversity into the gameplay and storyline. Holocaust education through video games make people to learn about the events of the Holocaust more interactively and engagingly. It allows players to experience the stories of individuals who lived through the Holocaust, better understand its impact on the world and make connections to present-day political events, and understand what democracy is and why it is crucial to protect it.
