...What’s the Right Age to Stop Playing Cooking Games? With the release of more compelling games comes the upsurge of online gamers. Sometimes it makes me ponder, where is this all heading? Will the online gaming obsession ever fade? And what age is considered too old when it comes to gaming? Let’s face it, despite the fact that online gaming is taking over the world; we still have innumerable questions in our heads, questions resulting from curiosity and annoyance. Annoyance if you’re a parent waiting for a miracle to make your kids stop their gaming addiction and curiosity if you’re waiting for the downfall of online gaming (which is still not happening, ever!). Is there such an age when you can nonchalantly blurt out that you have given up on gaming and have moved on to better worthwhile activities? Or is this just wishful thinking? Kids these days are hooked on online games but most girl gamers are cooking games enthusiasts. And from the looks of it, they’re not putting gaming to a halt. Putting an end to gaming addictions depends on one’s lifestyle and passions and the kind of games that they’re playing. Sometime in your life when you’re old and gray, you may have to place gaming in the back shelf. Not because you want to, but because you need to. At that point in your life, there may be tons of things to do rather than sit down and face the computer all day. When you get older, you have less luxury to enjoy everything that you want to do. You’ll have less and less free time...

...Violent Video Games Should not be Banned By Chris Taylor Com/156 Effective Persuasive Essay August 1, 2010 Violent Video Games should not be Banned Violent video games that promote violence and criminal activity should not be banned because each game is properly labeled. It is the parent’s responsibility to monitor their children on what games they play and for how long they play the games. Numerous surveys have been taken that show games can enhance certain learning abilities and not cause violence. Violent video games are meant for adults and banning these games takes away the right of freedom of expression from the adult. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) provides concise and impartial information about the content in computer and video games so parents can make a clear informed purchase. (www.esrb.org/ratings) ESRB provides ratings for each game that is distributed. These ratings have two equal parts: Rating symbols and content descriptors. Rating symbols on the front of the package provide age limits on who should be allowed to play the game. Age appropriateness is clearly marked and those younger than that should be monitored. The rating system used is the same system that TV shows and movies use to rate their content. Content descriptors which are located on the back of the package indicate elements in a game. These descriptors are C (early childhood), E (for everyone), E 10+ (everyone 10+), T (for teens), M (mature 17+), A (adults only)...

... English 110 R75 October 18, 2013 Video games: a boon, not a plague We all have that one day of the week where we just want to cut loose from the burden of work and assignments. This “free” day would be used to engage in leisure activities which would reduce stress such as playing video games. However, the video game industry has come under heavy fire from the mainstream media, whom claim that there is a direct link between video games and violence amongst gamers. Despite the numerous reports that claim it is directly related to violence, video games are beneficial because they enhance the cognitive flexibility and teach moral lessons. Video games are games that are played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or any other display. Video gaming has become increasingly popular because some people feel the need to “escape” from the harsh reality, and dive into their fantasy realm that is video games. Whether players take the role of the great detective they dream to be in “L.A. Noire” and bring criminals to justice, or a Dark Lord of the Sith and spread fear across the galaxy in “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic”, they indefinitely found their place and enthusiasm in video games. As a matter of fact, certain genres of video games are now played as a competitive sport; Counter-Strike (First Person Shooter), Starcraft (Real Time Strategy) and even the football simulated game of FIFA are now played as a competitive sport...

...create higher revenues no matter the medium. In the long run, the only real loser in the sports broadcasting realm is the obsolete medium. As technology has evolved, the way in which sports have been presented has followed suit. “Over the course of the twentieth-century sport was transformed from a typically ad hoc unregulated amateur activity to one driven by professional standards and accountability at all levels.”2 This change came slowly at first, and has advanced rapidly over the past few decades. Now, due in part to advanced broadcasting techniques, watching live events and highlights of the day’s games can be brought to our fingertips with relative ease. Sports Coverage Before the Radio Before the broadcasting of sports on radio and television, “the only way of watching a sports contest was to go to the stadium.”3 If you worked during the day (when all games were played due to no lighting at stadiums at the time), your best bet of learning what happened came from reading the newspaper. The relationship between print media and baseball was so simple that there was actually no money involved....

...Yusin Zhang, Thong Clus Ngo Overview The proposed project is developing a rhythm game. This game does not exist and at the end of design and development process, it will be fully complete and playable. The game involves different notes which will be falling down from the screen with random letter on it. The player is expected to hit the note with the right key to follow the song with the music playing in the background. The sequence dictated and displayed on the screen must be followed. Correctness in hitting the notes translates to an increased player’s score. Vorderer & Bryant (2012) suggests that games should have different difficulty levels. How good is the player at learning a rhythm? This game will be a real fun as players will try harder to catch a rhythm to feel comfortable that they can try the next level of difficulty. There will be rewards as well as punishment while the player is still playing so as to stimulate the player. The motive of the game is to challenge and test the player’s sense and level of rhythm. This game will be based on the following elements and fiction: test of skill, the utilization of the aspect of timing, loss of points if the player opts to skip a note, tendency of repetition of a song and featuring a rhythm severally in one song. The fundamental fiction in this game is the falling of notes on the screen in relation to expected key presses. Every video game involves user interaction with a human interface to come up with visual feedback displayed...

...1. Some games of strategy are cooperative. One example is deciding which side of the road to drive on. It doesn’t matter which side it is as long as everyone chooses the same side. Otherwise, everyone may get hurt. Driver 2 Left Right Driver 1 Left 0, 0 -1000 -1000 Right -1000, -1000 0, 0 a. Does either player have a dominant strategy? Explain. Driver 2’s strategy: If diver 1 turns left, driver 2 has two choices: Left or right. Driver 2 would turn left as payoff (0) is higher there than negative payoff in Right. Then if diver 1 turns right, driver 2 has two choices: Left or right and he also would turn to right due to higher (0) payoff. As a result, driver 2 does not have a dominant strategy because he moves in a same direction of Driver 1 does and the dominant strategy is regardless of what any other players do, the strategy earns a player a larger payoff than any other. Driver 1’s strategy: If diver 2 turns left, driver 1 has two choices: Left or right and driver 1 would turn to left due to higher payoff (0). Then if diver 2 turns right, driver 1 has two choices where he would turn to right as the payoff is higher (0) than left (-1000). Therefore Driver1 also does not have dominant strategy. b. Is there Nash equilibrium in this game? Explain ...

...21/01/09 Start with a brief timeline, including when applications to different areas were first used. Game Theory (i) Game Theory Introduction We begin with a simple, informal example of a game. Rousseau, in his Discourse on the Origin and basis of equality among men, comments: “If a group of hunters set out to take a stag, they are fully aware that they would all have to remain faithfully at their posts in order to succeed, but if a hare happens to pass near one of them, there can be no doubt that he pursued it without qualm, and that once he had caught his prey, he cared very little whether or not he had made his companions miss theirs” To make this into a game, we need to fill out a few details. Suppose that there are only two hunters, and that they must decide simultaneously whether to hunt for a stag or for hare. Each player has a choice between two strategies: (hunt stag, hunt hare). If both hunt stag, each gets half a stag If both hunt hare, each gets one hare If one hunts for hare while the other tries to take a stag, the former will catch a hare and the latter will catch nothing. If we suppose that the utility of catching a stag is 4 and for a hare is 1, then the payoff matrix for the players can be summarised as follows: Stag Hare (2,2) (0,1) (1,0) (1,1) Game theory is concerned with what outcomes arise in equilibrium. An equilibrium outcome is one which consists...

...Is Game Theory the Right Kind of Game? Game theory is an analysis of a conflict of interest to find optimal choices that will lead to desired outcome under given conditions. It’s a study of ways to win in a situation given the conditions of the situation. Game theoretic concepts apply whenever the actions of several agents are interdependent. These agents may be individuals, groups, firms, or any combination of these. The concepts of game theory provide a language to formulate structure, analyze, and understand strategic scenarios. Game theory provides a nice conceptual or theoretical framework for thinking about multi-agent learning. It is most appropriate provided that the game is stationary and fully specified, other agents are also game theorists, it can solve equilibrium coordination problem. Given the said conditions, it is rarely hold in real applications because firms think differently from each other. We can say that game theory is the right kind of game if we are able to make use of it properly to win in a given situation. This game theory can provide insight into the strategic options and likely outcomes available to participants in particular situations. From this insight, decision-makers can better assess the potential effects of their actions, and can make decisions that will more likely produce the desired goals and avoid conflict. Considering the situation as a game would lead you to think that everyone is a participant which in reality not all participates...
