Épisode 8 - Net Neutrality - What a Closed Internet Means - Extra Credits

2 avril 2014

The debate about net neutrality rages on, but the meaning of "open internet" vs. "closed internet" is seldom explained. Without an open or neutral internet, corporations like AT&T or Comcast can restrict bandwidth and charge people extra for faster connections or limit access to their competitors' services altogether. (---More below) In the United States, a January 2014 ruling from the DC Circuit Court determined that the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) had no authority to enforce its previous rules about net neutrality. This opened the decision about how to govern the internet's future up to law makers in the US Congress. Whatever your opinion about net neutrality, we encourage you to petition your representatives for action! Find your US representatives here: http://whoismyrepresentative.com/ Find your UK representatives here: http://www.writetothem.com/ EU: The European Parliament defined and protected net neutrality in a vote on April 3 (2014). This bill has several more votes to go before it becomes law, but you can learn about it here: http://savetheinternet.eu/ Subscribe for new episodes every Wednesday! http://bit.ly/SubToEC _______ Get your Extra Credits gear at the store! http://bit.ly/ExtraStore Play games with us on Extra Play! http://bit.ly/WatchEXP Watch more episodes from this season of Extra Credits! http://bit.ly/2ssxjla Contribute community subtitles to Extra Credits: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_panel?c=UCCODtTcd5M1JavPCOr_Uydg&tab=2 Talk to us on Twitter (@ExtraCreditz): http://bit.ly/ECTweet Follow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/ECFBPage Get our list of recommended games on Steam: http://bit.ly/ECCurator _________ Would you like James to speak at your school or organization?

Follow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/ECFBPage Join us live on Twitch! http://bit.ly/ECTwitch Get our list of recommended games on Steam: http://bit.ly/ECCurator ___________ Geralt in The Witcher III: Wild Hunt finds himself torn between two women he loves. His relationship with Yennefer is passionate but tumultuous, while his relationship with Triss is more tender and caring. Choosing between these two women doesn't feel like picking your favorite option at a buffet, a fault that Bioware romance options often fall into - it feels like defining Geralt as a person through the choice he makes. Geralt's relationship with these women reflects an inner conflict about who he already is (Yennefer) and who he wants to be (Triss). It also showcases a weakness in the "blank slate" character model so common in Western RPGs: by giving the player full control over who the character is, we actually limit ourselves since we can only define the character in broad, easy to design strokes such as "good" or "evil." The defined character and existing backstory of Geralt allowed the Witcher 3 developers to create nuanced choices that help the player think about who he is and what his choices mean.

Épisode 28 - In Defense of Imagination - When to NOT Tell the Whole Story to Players - Extra Credits

24 juillet 2019

SHASN is an epic game of politics, ethics, and strategy, where each player is a politician campaigning for the fate of the nation. Choose policies. Influence voters. Build an empire. What Will You Stand For? Join the Kickstarter at https://buyshasn.com/2Y17jK0 Beautiful visuals and spell-binding stories can be found in games even without photorealistic, over-wrought intensity. We look at examples like Undertale, Dark Souls, and even Overwatch as examples of how "imagination gaps" can be intentionally designed as a jumping-off point to engage the player even more than if everything was laid out at the start.

An activity therapist named Jerry Reed presented J.J. with Pitfall. Video games impacted J.J.'s life so profoundly to the positive, J.J. became a Certified Child Life Specialist at the very same hospital, 20 years later.

During those treatments, Jacob was able to help pass the time by playing games. But when a tumor was found in Jacob's kidney, he had to stay at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. The week leading up to surgery was long, boring, and isolating. But the Child Life Specialists at the hospital changed all of that by visiting with toys and games. Games that gave Jacob something to look forward to and helped give Jacob hope.

Épisode 20 - Why You Should Care About CDA 230 - Platform Responsibility & Free Speech - Extra Credits

9 septembre 2020

Thanks to Joe Newman ( https://www.fenwick.com/people/joseph-newman ), Rebecca Fewkes ( https://www.fenwick.com/people/rebecca-a-e-fewkes ), & Andrew ( https://www.fenwick.com/people/andrew-p-bridges ) for their legal expertise on this episode! President Trump wrote an executive order asking for clarification on section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. But what does that mean? What is CDA 230? And more importantly, why should people in the games industry care? CDA 230 is often referred to as the 26 words that formed the internet & grants Platform Immunity. That's the stipulation that provides platforms & users can't be held liable for what other people put out on the internet. It also is what grants platforms the power of the ban hammer.

Back in 2009 she hit her head and got a concussion. But unfortunately, the concussion didn't heal quickly and Jane was forced to deal with Post Concussion Syndrome. This made it difficult to remember things, difficult to read or write, and frequent headaches. To make matters worse, it was difficult to express these symptoms to friends & family. But Jane McGonigal ended up using that trauma to create a game to help herself, and other people also suffering: Superbetter. *Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!* Check out our community guidelines so we can have MORE high-quality conversations: https://www.extracredits.site/extra-credits-community-code-of-con *Want to support the people who make this show?* Become a Patreon Member & Vote on future Extra History episodes! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Or show off your fandom with our merch! http://extracredits.store/ *Want more Extra Credits?

Are they a vital part of the fantasy genre, imported from Tolkein's works and therefore untouchable? Or should we reexamine the way that speculative fiction can sometimes just paint species and culture with the same broad brush? Well, we think that outside of any connection or implication of real-world situations, evil races are just... kind of bad and lazy game design. *Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!* Check out our community guidelines so we can have MORE high-quality conversations: https://www.extracredits.site/extra-credits-community-code-of-con *Want to support the people who make this show?* Become a Patreon Member & Vote on future Extra History episodes! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Or show off your fandom with our merch! http://extracredits.store/ *Want more Extra Credits?

Épisode 7 - Min-Spec vs AAA - The Secret Accessibility of the PC - Extra Credits

Use code EXTRACREDITS12 to get up to 12 FREE MEALS across your first 4 HelloFresh boxes, including free shipping on your first box at https://bit.ly/3y7Tqg2 ! Thank you to Alex from Low Spec Gamer for guest writing this script! You can check out his work here on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQkd05iAYed2-LOmhjzDG6g or over at Nebula https://nebula.app/lowspecgamer As we refocus the conversation about games around accessibility, there's one area that often gets overlooked. Technical accessibility can be just as important and as big a barrier for people as physical accessibility. Computer games can get expensive when you account for all of the parts that go into building even a modest gaming rig. And as games have exploded in budgets for dazzling particle effects and cutting edge graphics, it can cut out a lot of gamers from the experience. So how do developers go about making games that can be played on high and low end machines? *Thanks for participating in this week's discussion!* Check out our community guidelines so we can have MORE high-quality conversations: https://www.extracredits.site/extra-credits-community-code-of-con *Want to support the people who make this show?* Become a Patreon Member & Vote on future Extra History episodes! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Or show off your fandom with our merch! http://extracredits.store/ *Want more Extra Credits?

Épisode 19 - Will Play to Earn Games Remain Legal? - Extra Credits Video Games

---- To learn more about Brilliant, go to https://brilliant.org/ExtraCredits/ and sign up for free. The first 200 people that go to that link will get 20% off the annual Premium subscription! ---- In 2018 we discussed blockchain and how it might potentially change the gaming industry. Now that it's 2022, we've found that the few games giving players the ability to acquire, buy, and sell virtual items in an open decentralized marketplace often are leading to legal troubles, money laundering, predatory crypto-related scams, and less interesting games with lower player retention. AKA: Not exactly the change we were hoping for. But since these open-loop economy games now exist, how might the industry (and the law) better protect players in the future? ---- Blockchain Games - Can Blockchain Technology be a Game Mechanic? ---- https://youtu.be/ywvTIM_eOVI ---- Check out the TYZ Law Group ---- Games Law Blog: https://www.tyzlaw.com/gameslaw Joe Newman - https://www.tyzlaw.com/joe-newman-bio Jonathan Downing - https://www.tyzlaw.com/jonathan-downing-bio ---- Psychological studios mentioned in the episode ---- https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07421222.2016.1172459 https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/overjustification-effect ---- Thanks for participating in this week's discussion! ---- Check out our community guidelines so we can have MORE high-quality conversations: https://www.extracredits.site/extra-credits-community-code-of-con ---- Want to support the people who make this show? ---- Become a Patreon Member & Vote on future Extra History episodes! http://bit.ly/EHPatreon Or show off your fandom with our merch! http://extracredits.store/ ---- Want more Extra Credits?
