Ever since Edward Muybridge discovered the technique of high-speed photography, an invention which led to the birth of cinema, artists have attempted to stretch the capabilities of the medium to extreme degrees. 360-video, or arguably simply virtual reality, has started to take content-sharing websites by storm and a few storytellers that are ahead of the curve have already started adapting their stories into the virtual reality realm in order to take full advantage of this new technology. Virtual reality seems destined to be the next big evolution in video games, however with film there are many problems that are ultimate detrimental to the possibilities of immersive filmmaking. Humans are natural storytellers and a key part of the appeal…

Video game popularity is rising each year. But with all the popularity people are noticing how few of games portray a leading female role. Even if a female character has a leading role, almost all of the females are portrayed with fantasy body types to draw in a crowd. These women characters deserve to have a chance to entertain gamers just like any other male character, but it doesn’t have to be where their body is drastically overhauled to look fake. These things degrade females not only in…

and others immediately resume where they left off last night with their favorite game. Even though all of these people are doing different things, they all share one thing in common: they are only able to do what they are doing because of software developers. Software developers are people who design and program software that makes our applications and bundles of hardware function. I’m interested in researching this occupation because, as a child of the information era, I was exposed to several…

Anime and video games are two subjects that play an important role in both eastern and western popular culture. The ascension of both anime and video games into popular culture originated first in Japan, and eventually their influence spread across the globe. I’ve been engrossed in both subjects since I was young, and I believe my appreciation for both was no coincidence. Anime and video games, after all, have always felt similar to me, but why is that? To answer that question, I will consider…

Violence in violent video games had remained to be a major concern in society. In addition to the controversy of VVGs, a new subject emerged when gender activists began to enter the discussion and industry. While studies of videogames using sociological and gender theories had existed before, these issues had been highlighted by many organizations in most recent years. One of the more prominent activists is Anita Sarkeesian. She is a Canadian-American feminist (owner of the YouTube channel…

That is crazy, but yet not at the same time. That is just mind blowing crazy when thinking about the percentage. Smith (talking about myself in the third person is a bit weird) plays online video games quite a lot, and online hears a lot of people being very sexist on online games. For one example a “girl gamer” as the Xbox…
