(10 pm Monday night) “You finish your Homework yet?” ( Insert sounds of buttons being mashed and clicked) “ALMOST DONE MOM!!!” : Typical week night for the modern day gamer. “Go Go Go!” My commanding officer shouts to me as we run down the battle field. I hear footsteps and turn to my left taking out two bogies with a single shot, I tell my friend Jon there are two on his right, they fall as well. We race towards the objective bobbing and weaving through the crossfire bullets whizzing overhead, debris clouding our vision. Closer, closer…CLOSEERRR, grenades are tossed at feet, “GRENADE GET DOWN, GET DOWN!” and then…Blackness. “Huh? What the…” I look up at my mom standing there power plug in hand and giving me “that look”. I drop the controller flip off the TV and hit the books. I’m sure I’m not far off assuming this scenario or something similar has happened to many other people this day an age. It is not uncommon to find one if not more gaming consoles or computers within a household this day and age; they have become apart of our modern society and look as though they are here to stay for the long term. But what effects does the up and coming gamming culture have on our society? After taking a closer look at the topic it could be argued that those who are apart of the

B. Allen 2 gaming culture are susceptible to possible violent behavior, but are also inclined towards academic success, and health benefits. “Bring on the guts, bring on gore, bring on the mayhem!” Unfortunately video games that contain content such as this are seen as possible scapegoats for exemplifying violent behavior in teens and adults in our society. For example when it was found that Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were fervent players of the games Doom and Wolfenstein3D (CNN 4/22/99) many people blamed the games for the massacre to an extent. Some people even tried to file lawsuits against the game developers. Another example would be Science Journalist and Medical Student Joshua Tompkins writing for Salon.com on July 23, 2003. In his excerpt he describes his experience playing the game, “Flight Simulator”. He says, “A perfect virtual-reality replica of an actual A320 cockpit…[the games] have become so authentic in recent years, in fact, that they are turning into useful tools for aspiring terrorist hijackers.” (Salon.com). These examples show how society has, and could, look to video games as a negative source of entertainment that people can use to educate themselves in violent and possible criminal acts. Though the courts have not found persuasive evidence to prove the direct link between violent behaviors and gaming, psychologist Craig A. Anderson writes in “Psychological Science Agenda” "Some studies have yielded nonsignificant video game effects, just as some smoking studies failed to find a significant link to lung cancer. But when one combines all relevant empirical studies using meta-analytic techniques, five

B. Allen 3 separate effects emerge with considerable consistency." (C. Anderson). Anderson makes a good point in this quote, describing how just because there is no simple black and white connection between violent video games and violence in his studies there is enough evidence with in the patterns of peoples behaviors to show otherwise. In a study Anderson found gaming to be, "significantly associated with: increased aggressive behavior, thoughts, and affect; increased physiological arousal; and decreased pro-social (helping) behavior." If this is true what could this mean for our society? Based off this study the gaming culture is not helping out our society to much. If the gaming culture continues to grow at the rate it is our society could be populated by a number of people aggressive in behavior and less willingness to be helpful. Who wants to live in a society like that? Again however non of these studies offer factual evidence to whether those people involved in the gaming culture are prone to violent behavior or not; but it is important for society to be aware of the possibilities. As the gaming culture grew through the years some developers chose to target a video-game audience marketed for education. Once educational gaming hit the scene many parents and teachers responded happily and were excited to see the effectiveness they would have in relaying the information to children. In the article "The Effects of Video Games on Children" by pediatrician, Douglas A. Gentile, Douglas says, “Video games are natural teachers. Children find them highly motivating by virtue of their interactive nature. Children are actively engaged with them, they provide repeated practice and they include rewards for skillful play. These facts make it likely that video games could have large effects.” Video games have a way of drawing the player into B. Allen 4 them and there world, the same way a book does in a way. As the player it is difficult to not help but feel immersed and engaged in the content. Knowing a video game has these capabilities, and also knowing that children and games go together like PB&J, one could not help but infer that an educational game paired up with a child is a golden idea. A study was done by psychologist Tsung-Yen Chuang and Wei-Fan Chen comparing 3rd graders test scores taught with computer-assisted instruction versus computer-based video games. The results of their study were recorded in the article, “Educational Technology & Society”. Their conclusion was, “…playing computer-based video games was determined to be more effective in facilitating third-graders' average learning outcome than text-based computer-assisted instruction.” (Chuang & Chen). These examples show that there are many different branches of games within the gamming community and not all have negative side effects. Because video games are normally fun and enjoyable it enables the player to want to actively engage in the learning process which results in the players better retaining the material being relayed. The Chuang and Chen study of the educational gain of video games portrays it to be a promising tool for society and its future. “Playing video games equals health benefits, Whaaa…?” Sounds like quite a juxtaposition right? Well do to the ever growing gaming culture and next gen consoles new more physically interactive ways to play have been imagined and developed. Thanks to technology advancements the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii all support some kind body movement sensors to allow for a type of virtual reality experience. Of the three the Nintendo Wii was the first and most popular of the three consoles to demonstrate this B. Allen 5 feature with games such as Wii Sports, Wii Resort, Wii Fit, and much more. In January 2007 issue of “Pediatrics” a study done by the Mayo clinic found that [children burned three times as many calories playing these active games than the traditional handheld games.] (Mayo). Who needs a treadmill when you got a Wii! This example is very positive for the future of gaming in our society from a health concern. People a part of the gaming culture where often looked at with concern due to the numerous health issues that were associated with to much gamming such as, obesity, video-induced seizures, and postural, muscular and skeletal disorders, such as tendonitis, nerve compression, and carpal tunnel syndrome.” (Chuang & Chen). But thanks to the development of these new physically interactive consoles many of those concerns have been reduced. In fact the February 2007 issue of Time is a text about [computer-programmer Mickey DeLorenzo, who lost nine pounds in six weeks by playing Wii for thirty minutes a day. DeLorenzo, who is involved with a social-networking health site, told Time that people write him to say, "You've inspired me to buy a Wii and start working out."] (Time). This yet another example of the positive repercussions associated with the gamming culture. These systems like the Wii are the first of there kind to attempt to get gamers to be physically active as they play and it was a success. As time goes by Developers in the video game culture are sure to invite and come up with new software to better enhance the virtual experience and physical interaction within games. If video games are providing health benefits to our society now just imagine into the future; it’s only getting better from here! As with anything in life to much of something, even if it is a good thing, isn’t healthy. This stands true with gaming as well. Sure there are many arguments out there B. Allen 6 claiming video games to be bad and cause violent behavior, just like there are also many examples of how there are also games that can educate and even provide health benefits. There is no clear stance on whether or not the gamming culture has a positive or negative effect on society or not; but one thing is for certain it is here, and will be around for awhile. Knowing this it is important for individuals in a society to do what they should do with anything and everything. Have a balance. As long as video gamming is balanced alongside all other forms of entertainment and used as an occasional fictional escape from reality, education tool, or to exercise society will be welcoming the gamming community and culture for years to come.

Gaming in the Modern World

...None of us are at all unfamiliar with the term "gaming". Gaming is an extremely popular hobby in the modern world. All of us are familiar with big titles like Grand Theft Auto,Need For Speed,Assassin's Creed and others. Earlier,it was thought that gaming was only meant for teenagers,however,it not so any longer. There are no restrictions on who can become a gamer - and,trust me,all one needs to be a gamer is a passion for gaming. The gaming industry had started to thrive at the end of the Cold War years,when old timers like Mario and Contra made our day. (I still remember myself sitting in front of my TV with my Atari,killing a boss on Contra and wishing for an S gun). Since then, there has been a gradual development of the industry,promoting the creation of better games with more features than was imagined only a few years before. Big companies like Take-Two Interactive,Ubisoft,Electronic Arts,etc. have really promoted the gaming industry through their games,which mop up millions of dollars in revenue in games sales as well as sales of downloadable content offered on their games to enhance the gaming experience. Now,we have games of every generation in our hands. Be it action,adventure,RPG,racing,shooter,open world,etc. we have all it takes to enjoy atleast an hour or two before our gaming instruments (a PC or a console). The gaming industry has not only directly provided employment to many tech geniuses who would otherwise have been left unemployed or working in some office...

Sexism in Online Gaming

...Online gaming has been increase so quick and much that almost all people have some experience with it. The freedom of playing and the gamers can do whatever they want within the game to not only entertain but release some pressure from the real life as well. However, the majority of the gamers is still male-based and they used to express their feelings by saying women-offended words even with the fast increasing female gamer nowadays. No matter it's by foul-mouthed, or purpose, being called "cunt," "bitch," "slut" and other common misogynist epithets does not make people feel comfortable even for male. Some game developers want to, from their perspective, make things right which is to ban the user whoever make sexual-offended comments either in verbally or literally in order to make the online gaming community clean. Or in gamers' point of view, it's only a game. Game developers such as Bonnie Ross and Kiki Wolfkill are trying to find a way to eliminate online gaming sexual harassment. They offer permanent banning for the user that violates the regulation. Nevertheless, they sometimes do not realize the fact that people tend to do things that regulators do not allow; moreover, they can create more accounts if their accounts had been banned. The method of banning accounts while users made harassed comments is not a proper way to eliminate this type of action since people would still find ways such as symbolized words, icons, images etc.to express what they intended...

Gaming Does Help You at Time

...GAMING DOES HELP YOU AT TIMES To develop a skill in something which you are interested in also helps you use those skills in your daily life. One such sport is gaming. Though it may seem that it has no fundamental use in our day to day life, it shapes our concentration to an extent where we can utilise it for other things. It is said that non gamers can see 3 to 4 objects at a time and react, gamers can see about 6 to 7 objects at a time and the reaction time is quicker than that of a non gamer. It is seen that those who are socially awkward tend to open up while they play games online. They tend to communicate their whereabouts in the game itself which results in making new friends when there is a team game. The coordination between your eyes and your hands tend to sync according to your brain’s command which results in quick movement and fast reflexes when in the real world and not in the world of simulation and first person shooting. There are many merits in gaming but there are two sides to every coin. As much as how gaming can be useful for body control, increase in concentration, there are also a few demerits to it too. You can differentiaite gaming as team games and a single player games. Most of this generation games are of team games but there are also a few single player games which many people do play. They tend to be isolated from the social world and are confined to their “gaming chambers” as some people call them. They do not want to make many friends...

The Effects of Casinos and Gaming

...Effects of Casinos Review of Literature The Effects of Casinos and the Gaming Industry: Their negative effects outweigh the benefits Fall 2011 With the rapid growth of permitted gambling in the United States, much debate has risen over the positive and negative impacts of the gaming industry and casinos upon our society. Very little research has been done in the past to assess the influences upon our communities and our citizens. However, more and more issues are surfacing that are inducing much concern. The longer these establishments exist in our communities, the more their damaging effects are being felt. Those who are investigating this subject are coming to a unified conclusion: Casinos and gambling have many negative effects, far more than the few benefits that they provide. This country has undergone a gambling boom over the last two decades, and this popular past-time activity is still on the rise with new casinos being built every year. Before 1978, there were no casinos outside of Nevada (Grinols, 2006). Today there is some form of legalized gambling in every state except two: Hawaii and Utah. (Kearney, 2005) Commercial casino revenues increased 266% from $8.7 billion in 1990 to $31.8 billion in 1999. (NGISCR, 1999) Commercial casino revenues were recorded at $37.5 billion in 2007. (AGA, 2011) Revenues were recorded at 34.6 billion in 2010 (AGA, 2011), a staggering amount even after the drastic economic decline our economy endured in the previous...

...People ask me sometimes how do I relieve stress? The simple answer is playing video games. For some it may not do for them but others like me, it’s the perfect getaway. At an addiction treatment center in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, teenagers and young adults begin detox by admitting they are powerless over their addiction. But these addicts aren't hooked on drugs or alcohol. They are going cold turkey to break their dependence on video games. Video game addiction in children Video games have been able to consumers for the past thirty years. Nowadays, with everything so advanced, the public has expressed their concerns, regarding video game addiction. “Addiction has been defined as a primary chronic disease, characterized by the inability to control the use of a substance or behavior. (Schlimme, Source card#3). All addictions can be dangerous to the addicted and others around him/her; however, video game addiction can be extremely harmful, especially towards children.

...Online Gaming Console Gaming Computer Science Essay A console game is a form of interactive multimedia used for entertainment. The game consists of manipulable images and sounds generated by a video game console and displayed on a television or similar audio-video system. The game is controlled and manipulated using a handheld device controller connected to the console. The controller generally contains a number of buttons and multi-directional controls like the joysticks. Each button is assigned a purpose for interacting with and controlling the images on the screen. Handheld game consoles are consoles incorporated with display, speakers, console and controls. Multimedia gaming is done using a disc or cassette for every game, which can be inserted into the game console. Recent advances have allowed games and game demos to be downloaded directly to the console via the Internet. A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on the hand held video device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from small handheld devices to large mainframe computers. The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks...

...Subject: Gaming to meet sales goals The purpose of this memo is to inform all Colombian Personal Bankers that while conducting our internal audit, we have found that some personal bankers are practicing gaming at the time of opening the checking accounts, in order for them to meet the sales goals. The requirement to have a XYZ checking account is to maintain five hundred dollars daily in the account and the requirement to have and ABC checking account is to maintain one thousand dollars. The first three months for each of those accounts, the customer is not required to have that money in the account, but after that period of time, the customer needs to meet the requirements. Opening a XYZ checking account gives 30 dollars profit to the personal banker sales goal, while opening an ABC checking account gives 50 dollars profit, resulting more attractive to open an ABC checking account at the time of meeting the monthly quota for the commission. Personal bankers are not disclosing the correct information to the customers at the time of the account opening, just offering an ABC checking account to them so the banker can get the commission, and after the three month trial period, the personal banker downgrades the customer account to the XYZ checking account. Due to the economic recession, customers are more likely to open the XYZ checking account which is the one that requires less daily amount, but this account is not attractive from the personal banker sales view.

...A lot of people don’t think that gaming is cheating on your significant other, but any time your partner spends time and energy on something in a way that detracts from the relationship, that's an affair. The escapism can easily take the form of a video game; that’s kind of the whole point. The alternate worlds and experiences lend themselves to thrill-seeking behavior. The problem is that people are struggling to connect with escapism, which can have benefits but the downfall is it leads to people feeling lonely and disconnected with people. He is neglecting his wife, because she will try to make conversation with him, and he will be busy having intimate conversations with his avatar wife or having sex with her. In my opinion he is putting too much time in his avatar relationship. I will be thinking he is having intimate conversations with an avatar, which is controlled by another woman. So he is basically having intimate conversations with another woman, which that leads to flirting and cheating. Gaming can be an affair, because it takes the place of love. So, in my opinion, Rick is cheating on Sue. If my boyfriend had a virtual life and he married avatar and was doing intimate things with her, I would have a problem with that.

...In light of the strategic tactics it would be fair to comment that Sony has the upper hand at the moment. However this does not by any means suggest that there is no niche in the market for rivals. By further analysing the computing industry it is evident that consoles have the edge over PC's in the video gaming industry. The Internet is rapidly rising in use, while consoles will continue to dominate, the advent of Internet gaming could conceivably raise. Despite this dominance in the computing industry the average console price drops by around 30% in each year after it's launch. Manufacturers are aware that they only have a product life cycle of no more than two years. The market size generally grows in the second year of the product cycle despite the price cuts this is due to more software availability and discounted prices. It is apparent that the company's product life span is very much dependent on its software. The games software market is the fastest growing sub-sector, fuelled by the heavy market competition between the market leaders Sony and Nintendo. In 1999 games made for the Sony PlayStation accounted for three quarters of its income. It is known for a game to generate more income than a Hollywood film; as a consequence, well known film Stars and pop Stars help create games by providing scripts or soundtracks written for the game.

...1. Choose your topic. Try to make it as creative as possible; if you're given the opportunity to choose your own, take advantage of this. Choose something you're particularly interested in because this will make it easier to write; in particular, try to select the topic as a result of pressing questions you already know you want to search for answers to. Once you've decided on a topic, be sure to hone down it to a do-able topic; often a topic is initially too broad in its coverage, which will make it impossible to complete within the time and space constraints given. Narrow down your topic to something that can really be worked within the boundaries of the paper. If the topic is already chosen for you, start exploring unique angles that can set your content and information apart from the more obvious approaches many others will probably take.

The Future of Gaming

...The Future of Gaming Devry University Eng 135 Today computers are an integral part of everyday life in America. There's hardly anywhere you can go without seeing a computer in use. It has simplified the hard task of everyday life and left more free time. Many people spend that free time playing video games. Video games are a good way of stress relief, a way to get away from the realities of everyday life and into a virtual world. Some will say that video games have lead to kids being more obese because they don't get outside and play. They say that video games contribute to violence, because acts in games are reenacted by individuals. Video games have also lead to addiction like those from drugs and alcohol. Games have done more to benefit society, than harm it. Video game simulations are used in many fields from the military, education, medical, and the science field. What was once just a break from tedious task on the job has now turned into a billion-dollar industry that doesn't have any signs of slowing down. Some of the negatives of gaming are now being overshadowed by the overwhelming positives. With introduction of the Nintendo Wii we now have interactive video game system that requires users to interact with the game. Gamers no longer sit back and play games but now they are required to interact with them.
