It's a drawing I made a few years ago. It is based on the magic circle definition in Homo Ludens, one of the first books written about play and games.

No. But for a rather different reason though. I would never believe that button could even do either one of the two, so since that would be my train of thought, I would completely ignore the guy and his button. If for some reason this was somehow common technology in this world, with guys on...

I am doing preliminary research on challenge in games, and for this particular part I need to know some of your game playing habits in regards to challenges that are not necessarily intended by the original creators. If you guys could help me out, it would be much appreciated. For the...

I don't hate it, but I dislike it a lot when elements that are designed to entice the player to pay money get in the way of the overall core gameplay and gameflow. Take Plants vs Zombies 2 for instance; I think that game was better of simply staying a paid title. For one, because the game now...

Generally I tend to play it on normal, but these days I gravitate towards easy modes as well. Especially now that games have become part of my research and more than enjoyment, time has become of the essence. I also don't have many qualms with cheat codes or abusing glitches anymore either...

Urgh, I dislike PvZ2. I am not an opponent of the F2P model perse, but in games like this it simply doesn't work. They make me shell out money to "win," (which I reckon will eventually put me way over what PvZ1 cost me) because otherwise I will have to grind for keys and stars. It's that...

You know, you seem to believe that Fish has only been criticized and never been threatened with death threats. Considering the maturity of the game community, I am willing to bet this guy has received more death threats in an hour than those Gametrailers guys will get in their entire life. I...

It's nothing but a fantasy a certain group of men like to fantasize about. Just like there is a certain group of women that like to fantasize about man on man action.

It was essentially the system from V, with a few minor alterations. And since I still think the job system from V is one of the best in the FF franchise, I have to agree with you. I don't really like the whole dress-up doll feel the entire art direction gave me and the story/writing was...

First of all; with the many titles going multiplatform, there is no way that they would code it for a feature one console has and another one doesn't. Sure, maybe in the start to get things going when the ideas are still fresh (and they have a definite need to stand out), but once the generation...

Seems this guy still doesn't know why many people have a problem with the XBOXone online policies, the main reason being (as the last Jimquisition title said so nicely) "the death of ownership." I like the internet. I like online. I don't like a company forcing me to be online just to play a...

I had a severe disconnect to the game world of Deus Ex Human Revolution when I decided to push the limits and eradicate the entire police station. Then after walking outside, the first cop I talked to didn't know of anything. Even just making the cops outside hostile would have sufficed, but...

Hmmm, I have received a few comments regarding how this questionnaire seems a bit narrow in terms of what it asks. I am going to go back to the questionnaire and alter it and will be back later to ask you guys again, this time with a more indepth questionnaire. For all of you who have filled...

As part of a paper I am doing, I want to do some research into game piracy. So, if you guys could help me out, please fill in the questionnaire I have made; https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?pli=1&formkey=dG9QdGNRb2VJZnQ0NHJRcGRjYU5VOXc6MQ#gid=0 Thanks! If there are any...

Old news and not really the ending, I know, but both Uncharted 1 and 2. I already know for sure part 3 will have the same thing (haven't played it because of lack of TV);
