Video Games Aren't Just For Guys...
Again
09/01/2004 08:58 PMEvery few month or so, there seems to be some random story about how
only guys play video games, and how a bigger effort needs to be made
to make games for women. Of course, nearly every attempt to target
women specifically has failed -- but what people haven't noticed is
that women are playing games all the time. In fact, they're
considered
some of
the hardest core gamers, though, more focused on word and puzzle
type games. However, that's clearly not all. New studies are showing
that as new games become
more character driven, instead of
kill-everything-driven,
women are
playing those games as well. As obvious as it seems, it appears
the trick to getting women to buy into video games wasn't to make
games for women, but to make games for everyone.

02/07/2005 02:07 AMCory Doctorow:
I wrote a short story called
Anda's Game that Salon published last year -- it's about kids
working in sweatshops playing Massively Multiplayer Online RPGs,
grinding through repetitive tasks to earngold for sleazy operators who
sell the product of their labor on eBay. The inspiration came from a
real-world account of that sort of sweatshops, which has hit the news
again today, in a story about the courtroom shenanigans stemming from
video games:
A multiplayer online game is sued for allowing its players to dress up
like comic book heroes. An upstart company winds up in court for
creating a Tijuana sweatshop to manufacture digital weaponry.
A funny thing is happening in these sprawling online multiplayer
arenas. The ultimate in digital escapism, virtual worlds keep ending
up in the ultimate in depressing reality: the courts.

Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem
Video Games To Boost Self-Esteem
05/07/2004 02:57 PMSome researchers are working on special video games designed to
boost the player's self-esteem. To be honest, the games
sound fairly boring (which doesn't seem all that self-esteem boosting,
but what do I know?). I wonder if the plan is to take these basic
games and integrate the concepts into more standard video games. The
basic idea is that it takes practice and conditioning to think highly
of yourself. Of course, all this makes me think the game is designed
for people who might identify with the Saturday Night Live character
Stuart Smalley and his daily affirmations: "I'm good enough. I'm
smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me - because my video game
tells me so."

infamous for its violent bent, as an examination of the human
condition?

Textbooks Hit The Torrents
09/07/2004 12:08 PMNot all web piracy is the sexy stuff, like games and movies. Julis
Schorzman notes that one of his college textbooks recently
showed up as a BitTorrent.
The book the UW uses to teach Calculus showed up on Suprnova the
other day. Here's the link. (Wish we had Bit Torrent around when I was
a freshman in college. We had to pay all $140.00 for the [tome]!
Spoiled kids!
You'd think someone would have to put a lot of work into
pirating a calc book, since they contain so many symbols that an OCR
system would have problems with.
Interesting side note: Julis' blog contains a tag (I think) he made
up, <liblink>. Firefox reads that as <liblink>,
resurrecting that Internet horror of ages past, the blink tag. Odd
that such a progressive browser is so eager to enable useless old tags
that it even does it where it isn't supposed to.

Mmmm, torrents!
Mmmm, torrents!
04/27/2004 03:53 PMSo, I've been fiddling around with BitTorrent and all the variant
clients. And... I like it. A lot. The shared downloading and easily
resumable downloads make it a keen thing indeed. It turns out that
BitTornado, one of the variant clients, does apply a global rate cap
if you're serving multiple files up. This is good as Bittorrent
clients'll eat all the available bandwidth, and then some, if given
the chance. Not a huge problem for client-only systems, or systems
with big upstream pipes, but for me with a smallish (192K) upstream
pipe, well... running multiple torrents wouldn't be an...

Copyfight debate of the century video

Copyfight debate of the century video
and audio torrents
04/19/2005 03:38 AMCory Doctorow:
Last week's Cornell Debate between EFF senior IP attorney Fred Von
Lohmann, copyfighting media studies prof Siva Vaidhyanathan, and
counsel from the MPAA, RIAA, Napster 2 and Universal was astounding,
the most engrossing three hours of video I've watched all month.
Unfortunately and inexplicably, this was only available as a crappy,
dropout-prone Real stream from Cornell, which meant you couldn't load
the audio onto your iPod or download the video to show your friends
later.
Now someone's converted the video to something else (not sure what)
and posted a .torrent, packaged with soemthing called "Matroska" that
seems like a good way to add bookmarks and such to video (I'd be
interested in knowing whether this packaging presents any barrier to
someone who simply wants to download the video and watch it in her
player of choice). There's also an Ogg of the audio available (I'd
love to see this converted to MP3 for iPod users and posted as a
Torrent!).

*Following up on a previous BoingBoing post, an anonymous Microsoft
employee says:
Responding to this: "Reader J. Hahn says, "I am particularly impressed
with Amazon.com's Red Cross donation counter that proves Americans are
not 'stingy.' Also, as a Mac user, I was proud to go to the apple.com
site and see not one product ad on their front page - just links to
aid and donation sites, and Microsoft had not one mention of the
disaster."
Most of Microsoft's efforts regarding Tsunami relief is focused
internally. MS offers a dollar for dollar charitable donation match to
all FTE, and is doing everything it can to expidite the process of
trying to get the money to where it will do the most good.

project launched last night. Link
(Thanks, Sean)
* BoingBoing reader Nicholas
Bentley says,
"Hello Xeni, We thought you might be interested in passing
on the news of one person's great efforts for tsunami relief. We
wanted to donate to a tsunami relief effort with our funds in a PayPal
account but had difficulty finding an agency that took PayPal.
Eventually we found Kevin McDonald's site where he is
doing a fantastic job of collecting PayPal contributions and passing
them on to AmeriCares
(AmeriCares disaster relief has a 4-star rating from Charity
Navigator.) Kevin has even persuaded AmeriCare's webmaster to see
about accepting PayPal transfers direct in the near future."
*BoingBoing reader Chris Cummer says,
Family members of a close personal friend of mine are still missing in
Thailand. Her father and brother have flown there to try and find
them, as this Globe and
Mail article details, but the help of the blog community would
also be greatly appreciated. I've posted a request for help on my
blog at Mi
ssing in Khao Lak, Thailand. Hopefully someone might have some
information for a Canadian family that's been living on the edge of
grief for five days now.
Related: see this "missing persons" wiki page (
Link
), and a blog devoted to linking missing persons with their loved
ones:
Link. And the
Red Cross has launched a "Family Links" web page where family members
can search for missing relatives’ names:
Link. "The information is
not verified or tracked by either the ICRC or the American Red Cross
but is offered by the ICRC as a stand-alone internet tool for
inquirers to use on their own."
* Reader Roberto says, "Every year at this time, I empty my jar full
of loose change. But this year I discovered I could donate to the Red
Cross (among other charities including UNICEF) from a Coinstar machine
at my drugstore. And big kid that I am, I had fun playing with the
machine." Link.
* Reader Chris Holland
says,
I stumbled upon Austin's Blog who's
done a fine job of gathering more videos. So earthlink homepage
servers don't get creamed, I've created this torrent gathering 5 of
the videos from his blog that weren't already covered in the previous
torrent which is still available here. Remember,
the more people click those torrent links, the easier and faster it is
for everybody else to download them too. And try to keep the torrent
opened for as long as possible even after you're done downloading. Big
Kudos to prodigem's very
easy-to-use torrent service. Link
* Andy Carvin says,
I've just set up a tsunami news digest
using the news aggregator Kinja.com. The page contains latest news
feeds and first-person blogs related to the tsunami disaster from
around the globe. I'd like to see others add their own tsunami-related
feeds to the site. If you have a news feed or blog that's focusing on
the tsunami, or are reading one that you'd like to add to the digest,
please visit the
website and log on with the following info: login: tsunami-info /
password: southasia. Once you've logged in, you can add a news source
to the digest by pasting it into the "Add a Favorite" form field in
the right column. Or, you can follow this shortcut.
* Among the many first-person accounts appearing on blogs: Sanjiva is
an IBM employee from Sri Lanka, who is trying to build information
systems to aid in locating missing persons, and help with medical
resource logistics.
Link.
* Jesse Krembs, President of The Hacker Foundation, tells BoingBoing:
Some of the folks here at the hacker foundation are assembling some
code to build a big PHP/MYSQL database for locating survivors and
doing tracing. It's not up yet but it will be soon. SurvivorLocationAssis
tance.org & suvivors.hackerfoundation.
org will be the address. You can see a preview as we build it here. It's
still very rough but functional even at very low
bandwidth."
