Only colleague (but not for long) Simon Willison and I have been spending a hell of a lot of time over the last three weeks sitting in a tiny room with lots of whiteboards puzzling over motives for collecting and sharing and - frankly - it's semi doing my nut.... So late last week, at something like ten in the evening when we were busy fiddling with some mock-ups or scribbles, at the precise moment that the moon passed overhead and the perfect synchronicity of movements sent a beam of light directly into Simon's brain, he had a moment of divine revelation, channelled our collective enthusiasm and limited brainpower and came up with this:

Pokemonetise: "to make money by appealling to the stupid human instinct to collect dumb things." (S. Willison 2006)

Who hasn't been a victim of pokemonetisation? :)

CALL FOR PAPERS, BOOK “EXTENDING EXPERIENCES”

While players of video games have always been waiting for the next generation of technology, less fuss is made about next-generation experiences. If such experiences are already there, what are they like? What would be the 21st-century-equivalent to the experiences of Andy Capp's Tavern’s customers who rushed into the bar to play Pong until the machine got jammed with coins? Ask a script writer, a political mod artist, a middleware developer, a computer game researcher, and someone who has traded off his social contacts in real life for a high-level character in a MMOG – and you will be overwhelmed by the diversity of what makes an experience worth striving for.


Read the rest of the call here.

"babes" naja...
Ist das etwa für die Leute die entgültig mit den anderen Geschlecht in atmender Form abgeschlossen haben?

Bei 60 Prozent der jüngeren deutschen Männer kommt die Computerspiel-Heldin Lara Croft besser an als Top-Models wie Heidi Klum oder Eva Padberg. laut EIDOS Umfrage...

Der einzige Kommentar der mir zur aktuellen Lara einfällt ist 'gut gerendert' und das ist eine rein technische Aussage.
