Chris Cantell Discusses - Our Games: Dôverovanie je lepia stránka udskej prirodzenost

ijeme v tak známom "digitálnom veku". Dnené deti sú obklopené technológiou, ktorá ete pred pár rokmi neexistovala. Aktivity tkajúce sa poítaovch hier, alebo playstation nahradili ítanie kníh, alebo tradiné hry vonku. To je dôvod, preo bola nová britská publikácia o aspektoch poítaovh hier na vvoj detí taká oakávaná. Autorom tejto 224 stranovej správy je Dr. Tanya Byron, pecialistka v detskej psychológii. Táto ena má skutone bohatú skúsenos v tomto odbore, kede dlh as pracovala s mentálne postihnutmi demi. Neskôr uspela aj v televízii BBC so peciálnou ou orientovanou na psychológiu. V súastnosti pracuje ako vládny poradca v oblasti politiky národného zdravia. V prvom rade je Dr.Byronová matkou dvoch detí. Práve preto jej nová sprváva nie je iba istou teóriou a svoje vsledky vie prakticky konfrontova so správaním svojich vlastnch detí, ktoré sú práve v tom zranitenom veku, ktoor môe by nakazen vplyvom "sveta inline hier". Správa prináa odporúania a rady ako riei takúto situáciu. Poda správy by mala vláda zavies systém vhodn pre rodiov rovnako ako pre deti: rodiom sa odporúa vyuíva v poítaoch systém "rodiovskej kontroly" a deti budú navtevova kurzy e-safety vo svojich kolách. Doktorka Byronová taktie odporúa, e stále najlepou zostáva komunikácia medzi rodimi a ich demi. Rodiia by mali vedie, o robia ich deti, no mali by repektova ich súkromie. Kad z nás by mal "dôverova lepej stránke udskej prirodzenosti"!

Chris Cantell Discusses SigEx Telecom, Gaming, Cellphone: Jocurile pentru mobile nu se vand Ana Maria Ciobanu

Care este calculatorul detinut de milioane dintre noi si caruia ii acordam cea mai putina atentie cand vine vroba de jocuri?Telefonul mobil!Dispozitivele wireless de astazi au capacitatea egala cu a calculatoarelor desktop ale decadei trecute, si au jocuri care permit userilor sa joace impotriva rivalilor din intreaga lume.Imaginati-va ca ati putea combina aceste trasaturi intr-un computer desktop. Ar fi imposibil sa nu obtineti un hit monstru cel putin la fel de mare ca World of Warcraft. Potrivit Telephia Inc. nu ati obtine acelasi succes daca ati reusi sa combinati aceste trasaturi intr-un telefon. Compania sustine ca mai putin de 8% dintre americanii cu telefoane mobile s-au jucat ceva la celulare in ultimul an. Avand in vedere ca SUA este o tara unde 60% din populatie joaca zilnic(ca parte a rutinei zilnice) jocuri electronice de un anumit gen- se vede clar ca undeva exista o problema.De ce nu sunt telefoanele celulare atractive pentru noi din punctul acesta de vedere? Electronic Arts Inc face zeci de jocuri pentru telefoane. Avand in vedere marimea limitata a ecranului si puterea de procesare pentru majoritatea telefoanelor mobile, majoritatea jocurilor sunt "casual" cum ar fi bowling electronic, biliard sau tenisNu exista o comunitate a gamerilor de telefon. Nu exista forumuri, clanuri sau competitii dedicate acestui gen de jocuri.Datele ajung mult mai incet prin retelele celulare obisnuite, telefoanele au memorie mai multa sau mai putina, procesoare de capacitate diferita care ingreuneaza existenta unor gameri de telefon.Toti simtim nevoia de a ne juca, indiferent de varsta. Cu totii avem si am avut jocurile noastre preferate. Unuia ii poate placea zuma, altuia sahul, tablele, damele, un altul e pasionat de monstri si dragoni, tie poate iti place fotbalul, hocheiul, baschetul si asa mai departe.Cu totii suntem jucatori si este pacat ca nu ne putem exercita acest spirit ludens prin telefoanele mobile atat de la indemana tuturor.

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Uzastna, ale smutna hra Lenka Lehenova

Pocitace, mobilne telefony, Internet a ostatna moderna technologia su pre ludi dolezite a vdaka nim sa uz viac nenudime. Poskytuju nam vela moznosti. Mozme byt stale v kontakte s nasimi priatelmi, vzdy mame cerstve spravy z celeho sveta a neustale pre nas vytvaraju viac a viac vymozenosti. Nevieme si bez nich predstavit nas pohodlny zivot.Existuju rozne dovody, preco to ludia miluju. Niekto ma rad chatovanie alebo surfovanie po internete, ini informacie a deti, avsak nielen oni, zboznuju hry. Tak ako sa vyvijal pocitac, tak sa rozvijali aj hry. Spociatku biedna grafika bola vystriedana perfektnou a dokonalou, ktora vytvara realny dojem a mozes sa citit ako jej sucast. Vyzera to naozaj ako realne a mozes byt vystraseny alebo prekvapeny tak isto ako tvoja postava v hre. Existuje milion druhov hier. Grafika, zvuky, emocie, pohyb a urovne su uzastne. To je dovodom, preco to miluju nielen deti, ale aj dospeli a dochodcovia.Dungeons & Dragons je popularna fantazijna hra, ktoru vyvinul Gary Gygax a Dave Arneson v roku 1974 pouzitim stredovekych charakterov a mytickych kreatur. Krok za krokom sa tato hra stala hitom a to najma medzi tinedzermi. Vdaka 3D generacii, postavy a prisery su ako zive. Pouzitim milion kombinacii vzhladu, schopnosti, obratnosi alebo ras, si mozes vytvorit svoju vlastnu postavu, ktora musi prekonat vela prekazok aby sa stala hrdinom. Je to velke dobrodruzstvo, ktore mozes ty sam upravovat. Su zname nielen video hry, ale aj knihy a filmy.Sfera pocitacovych hier je uslzena, lebo stratila jednu z velkych osobnosti. Gary Gygax, ktory spolupracoval na tvorbe tejto uzastnej hry a pomohol nastartovat hraci fenomen zomrel v utorok vo svojich 69tich rokoch. Bol aj spisovatelom, ktory napisal mnozstvo fantazijnych knih. Bol fascinovany fantaziou a chcel vytvorit taku hru, ktora by tejto predstavivosti obsahovala viac. Jeho zene a sest detom bude velmi chybat. Hra Dungeons & Dragons bude bez neho smutna, avsak jej nadhera a jedinecnost su navzdy ostane.

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Ce preferi: dependenta de jocuri sau dependenta de alcool?

by Ioana Madalina Tantareanu

Jocurile video pot da dependenta, asa cum au concluzionat doctorii, exact la fel ca drogurile sau alcoolul. Nu te vor omori, dar iti vor distruge viata mai mult decat daca ai sta 18 ore pe zi la birou. Macar daca muncesti, esti platit; jocurile nu-ti dau decat statut social cel mult. Se pare ca RPG-urile online dau cele mai grave dependente, mai ales pentru copiii nepopulari care obtin respect si putere intr-o lume virtuala. Pe masura ce eroul lor devine mai puternic, jocul devine mai incitant, pana la punctul in care jucatorul se gandeste doar la joc. Acest tip de dependenta are simptome la fel ca si celelalte, inclusiv imposibilitatea de a controla necesitatea si refugierea in lumea jocului atunci cand lucrurile reale iau o intorsatura negativa. Tulburarea are sanse mari sa fie inclusa pe lista de boli mintale folosita de psihiatri cand pun diagnosticul unui pacient. Acceptarea ca exista o problema este mereu primul pas spre vindecare si clinici care sa ajute jucatorii au aparut in ultima vreme in SUA si Amsterdam. Si nu numai adolescentii au nevoie de ajutor; au fost descoperiti oameni mai in varsta cu aceasta problema si numarul lor este in crestere si in alte parti ale lumii, cum ar fi Coreea de Sud. Efectele sunt aceleasi: lipsa de interes fata de sotie/sot, fata de activitati sociale, cresterea in greutate si alte probleme legate de implicarea intr-o singura activitate 24 de ore pe zi. Jucatorii inraiti se gandesc cum sa avanseze la urmatorul nivel si cand nu sunt la calculator si nu prea sunt motive sa dam vina pe industria jocurilor. Pana la urma, fiecare joc are un buton de Quit.

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Stiri de ultima ora

by Claudia Sonea

Toti iubitorii de PSP sa strige "Hai Sony! Hai Sony!". Faimoasa companie a pregatit ce va grozav pentru utilizatorii de PSP, din pacate nu pentru cei din intreaga lume, cid oar pentru cei din Irlanda si Regatul Unit. Ca rezultat al colaborarii dintre marele sateilt TV European SKY si Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, utilizatorii din tarile mentionate mai sus, care inseamna in jur de 2.3 milioane, vor avea acces la continut video la cerere, Vestile bune sunt ca extinderea in restul Europei este pe lista de discutii. Probabil daca va avea success in aceste tari si nu vor fi probleme tehnice ne vom bucura de acest produs in 2008. Nu a fost lansat inca, data fiind 22 august, la Conventia Jocurilor SCEE, care va avea loc anul acesta la Leipzig, Germania. Nu ma surprinde ca au introdus aceasta optiune la PSP, pentru ca clientii sunt tot mai mult interesati in a achizitiona produse care contin transmisiune TV. De aceea si mobilele si computerele sunt in competitie in a avea cea mai buna optiune de trensmisiune TV. Nu ne-am saturat inca de televizor, dar fiind mai atrasi de noile tehnolpgii. Vrem san e satisfacem amandoua nevoile sis a fim practice in acelasi timp. Ramane de vazut daca este posibil sau nu. Ca studenta mai am ore libere intre cursuri si as prefera sa stau la cafeneaua locala sis a mananc o placinta sis a vizionez un film decat sa petrec doua ore catre si inapoi de la apartamentul meu. Nu sunteti de accord? Mai dati cate un click si ramaneti conectati sa vedeti ce se mai intampla.

What Santa should bring by Claudia Sonea

The Nintendo Wii is hip, therefore everyone wants it and that makes it the perfect present for Christmas. Every year there is something that generates the holiday's madness and a year after the small video console was launched it still is on top of the wish-list. It is something that appeals both children and adults, competing with Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 2. Why is so attractive? Well, first of all while other consoles are controlled by a confusing array of buttons and joysticks, Nintendo Wii uses wand-like wireless controller that responds to user's moves. As a plus it offers a multitude of casual, nonviolent games that appeal to adults. As it is, although Sony and Microsoft have cut the prices of their consoles this fall, Nintendo hasn't done it due to the increasing demand. On eBay a Wii console is sold over the official price of $249 with more than $250. Video games are in high demand now not only because of what they offer but also due to trouble in the toy industry. Gerrick Johnson, a toy industry analyst at BMO Capital Markets recounts that lead paint and dangerous magnets (Aqua Dots' colored beads that were making their way to must-have status were pulled because they were coated with a chemical that turned into the date-rape drug gamma hydroxy butyrate when swallowed) eventually made parents to send their children to play video games rather than play with their toys. If the video console is in so high demand, there is no question about how Nintendo's revenues have increased, only in the quarter ended September 30, it more than doubled its sales to $6.1 billion from a year earlier. After it got on the market on November 17, last year, more than 5.5 million Wiis were sold in the U.S. Actually it was time to come back after being surpassed by Sony Corp and Microsoft Corp in the last game consoles. A problem is the fact that Nintendo cannot satisfy holiday-season demand. Nevertheless, Sony who just launched PlayStation 3 could benefit the situation, according to Sony Chief Executive Howard Stringer. Don't go away more news on the pending matter.

Universal Music's deal with imeem Ivana Mikusova

Universal Music Group has joined the other tree major record labels which have already signed a licensing deal with social networking Web site operator imeem inc. This is a great thing which lets all users to upload and stream music and music videos for free.It was quite a necessary step forward because nowadays people don't buy CD's; they just download the songs or videos which they want. Why pay for it? They do it illegally. These are the facts. Everybody knows that this is happening. Recording companies do as well. This causes that the revenues of these companies are getting down and so they have to find a new source of money. So imeem will carry full-length music and videos by artists of that four major record labels and record companies will share of online advertising revenues.One thing that is necessary to say something about is competition. Imeem site claims to have more than 19 million active users. Quite good you may say, but don't forget about the other major sites like YouTube or MySpace.But anyway I understand that. We live in hard times and if you don't remove the competition, they will remove you. On the other hand, it is necessary to cooperate, because only two can achieve more than one.

"Play" age Martina Harvanova

It is getting always more and more difficult what to donate your beloved ones. Whether it is Christmas or birthday and other feast. We are slowly realizing that although there is rising range of gift opportunities that you can't compare to the few-decades-ago situation, the digest is much more complicated. People just own almost everything.Clothes is boring, electronic gadgets expensive, home decorations too common. Or on the other site, there is not enough space in our apartments for the stuff given to so many celebrations in a year. However, there is always something that can cheer and surprise and that is never routine. Games. Whatever age, gender, social status, intellectual level, you can always find an appropriate item with a label "Games". Few years ago there were novelties like Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, Twister, later Nintendo and other classic video games showed a new style of playing. In the present, although they are popular, the play with them is a bit boring. To attract more customers the companies producing video games started introducing modifications of these "old school" toys. And with a great success.The offer is really wide, everybody can pick their favorite according to preferences. The selects vary from one to the another. Absolute minions are these: the number one is Call of Duty 4, followed by Football Manager 2008, Crysis and The Sims 2. If you like clever story line, you would grab the first one, and if your vogue is rather alien-fight and you riot in perfect graphics and gameplay, your winner is Crysis. Said simply, there is everything for everybody. It is no more only blood and violence. Video games are being diversified in many ways. Well, everybody wants to play. There is a saying that who plays doesn't make troubles. And I can complete it: who plays is fully normal. Even when it is, for instance, a university-degree older woman playing Gears of War.

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Doba "hravá" Martina Harvanova

Stáva sa stále zloÅ≤itejÅ¡ou úlohou, ğÖm obdarovaÅ¥ svojich blÖzkych. Ä‘i je to na Vianoce alebo narodeniny a iné oslavy. Pomaly si uvedomujeme, Å≤e hoci máme zvÀğšujúce sa mnoÅ≤stvo prÖleÅ≤itostÖ na vÃ∏ber darÄŸekov, ÄŸo nemôÅ≤eme porovnaÅ¥ so situáciou spred pár dekád, vÃ∏ber je oveÄ≤a komplikovanešÖ. Ä∏udia jednoducho majú takmer vÅ¡etko.ObleÄŸenie je nudné, elektronické prÖstroje drahé, bytové dekorácie prÖliÅ¡ obyÄŸajné. Alebo na druhej strane, v dome nie je dosÅ¥ miesta na veci, ktoré dotyÄŸnÃ∏ dostáva pri prÖleÅ≤itosti toÄ≤kÃ∏ch osláv v roku. AvÅ¡ak je tu nieÄŸo, ÄŸo vÅ≤dy vie poteÅ¡iÅ¥ a prekvapiÅ¥ a ÄŸo nie je nikdy obyÄŸajnou rutinou. Hry. NezáleÅ≤Ö na veku, pohlavÖ, sociálnom zaradenÖ, intulektuálnej úrovni, vÅ≤dy si môÅ≤ete vybraÅ¥ vám primeranÃ∏ druh tovaru s oznaÄŸenÖm "hra". Pred pár rokmi boli novinkami hry ako Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, Twister, neskôr Nintendo a iné klasické video hry, ktoré ukázali novÃ∏ spôsob zábavy. V súğasnosti, hoci sú populárnymi, hra s nimi sa stáva uÅ≤ trochu nudnou. Aby spoloÄŸnosti vyrábajúce video hry prilákali viac zákaznÖkov, zaÄŸali uvádzaÅ¥ modifikácie tÃ∏chto hraÄŸiek "starej Å¡koly". A s obrovskÃ∏m úspechom.Ponuka je naozaj Å¡iroká, kaÅ≤dÃ∏ si môÅ≤e vybraÅ¥ tú svoju obÄ≤úbenú hru podÄ≤a vlastnÃ∏ch preferenciÖ. Ponuky sa odliÅ¡ujú jedna k druhej. Absolútnymi favoritmi sú tieto: jednotkou je Call of Duty 4, nasledovaná Football Manager-om 2008, Crysis a The Sims 2. Ak máte radi inteligentnú dejovú lÖniu, siahli by ste po prvej, a ak je vaÅ¡ou obÄ≤ubou boj s mimozemÅ¡Å¥anmi a vyÅ≤Övate sa v perfektnej grafike a hre, vaÅ¡im vÖťazom je Crysis. Povedané jednoducho, existuje tu vÅ¡etko pre vÅ¡etkÃ∏ch. UÅ≤ to nie je len krv a násilie. Video hry sa postupne rozchádzajú viacerÃ∏mi cestami..Vlastne kaÅ≤dÃ∏ sa chce hraÅ¥. Jestvuje prÖslovie, Å≤e kto sa hrá, nie je zlÃ∏. A ja to môÅ≤em doplniÅ¥: kto sa hrá, je úplne normálny. Aj keÄ∂ to je, naprÖklad, vysokoÅ¡kolsky vzdelaná postarÅ¡ia pani hrajúca sa Gears of War.

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: PS3 at only $499 by Ana Maria Ciobanu

Sony announced last week that it has no more plans of reducing PS3's price. They operated a $100 price cut which they probably think is enough.If we look at the facts and remove any Sony sympathy(which I confess: when it comes to cd players, digital cameras, TV's, Sony is my personal favorite) I don't know why anyone should buy a $499 game console instead of a twice as cheap one.You all know I'm talking about Nintendo's Wii. I am very curious what techical aspect would make you choose the way to expensive PS3, over Nintendo's Wii.Sony's PS3 includes a hard drive, a high definition Blu-ray optical drive, HD video output, Bluetooth wireless controllers, and-in the premium version-WiFi wireless networking. Sony would love to finally see it's PS3 baby one day as a PC alternative. It also offers 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround and true 1080p high definition video playback from prerecorded Blu-ray movies. All of these features at only $499. Remember the old price reached $600.Nintendo's Wii comes at the price of $250 and includes both Bluetooth for wireless controllers and a DVD drive. It can't play DVD movies...but is it that hard to play a movie on your PC or your TV? Perhaps Nintendo are not planning to take over the world like Sony and are less selfish. the Wii focuses on physically involving games using the wireless Wii Remote paired with the accessory Nunchuk controller.Nintendo also released the Wii Fit, which I personally loved since I first saw the videos from the E3 conference.Sony announced that it sold 710,000 units of the PS3 in the April-June quarter, less than a fourth of 3.43 million Wii consoles sold in the same period.My guess is unless Sony won't stop being a Moliere main character in the game console domain, it will be totally vanished from this market. Sure some people simply like the PS3 better...but I wonder for how long. How long are they going to pay twice as much for almost the same features? Until then, enjoy this extremely funny video!

IBM Tells Employees to Behave in Second Life by Notme dfsfs

IBM issued a series of 11 Netiquette guidelines for its employees in Second Life or other virtual online worlds, where they have to interact with the general public.IBM recently opened a sales center in Second Life, and it's the first company that ever created rules for governing on virtual worlds.Rules like "Protect your -- and IBM's -- good name", "assume that activities in virtual worlds and/or the 3-D Internet are public -- much as is participation in public chat rooms or blogs", "Protect others' privacy", "it is inappropriate to disclose or use IBM's or our clients' confidential or proprietary information -- or any personal information of any other person or company... within a virtual world,", are meant to protect against discrimination, harassment and the intellectual property of IBM. The avatars used in the virtual world must be appropriate for doing business. Employees of IBM that might encounter an inappropriate situation that is work-related must report this to IBM.A spokesman of IBM said Friday: "Whether it's suggesting to our people how they protect their privacy and identity in the 3-D Net, or how to protect intellectual property, ours or our customers', some kind of 'rules of the road,' even at this early milepost, makes sense,"

Chris Cantell Discusses Gaming: Being addicted to a game is just like being addicted to drugs by Ioana Madalina Tantareanu

Video games can give you an addiction, as doctors have agreed, just like drugs or alcohol. This won't kill you, but it will ruin your life even worse than if you spent 18 hours a day at the office. At least if you work, you get paid; games give you status at best. It appears that online role-playing games are the most addictive, especially for unpopular kids who get respect and power in a virtual world. As their hero becomes stronger, the game becomes challenging, up to the point where the player can think only of the game. This type of addiction has symptoms just like other types, including the inability to control the need and escaping to the game world whenever real things go wrong. It stands a good chance to be included in the list of mental disorders that psychiatrists use to diagnose patients. Admitting you have a problem is always the first step to recovery and clinics to help gamers get better have appeared lately in the US and Amsterdam. And it's not only teenagers that need help; older people have been found to suffer from this disorder as well and their number is increasing in other parts of the world too, for example South Korea. The effects are the same: no interest in their spouse, in social activities, weight gain and other problems linked to becoming involved in a single activity 24h a day. Hardcore gamers think about advancing to the next level even when they're away from the computer and there's really no point in blaming the video games industry. After all, each game has a Quit button.
