Via [livejournal.com profile] siderea (and yes, stealing her words): Lead social systems designer for the MMORPG League of Legends, Jeffrey "Lyte" Lin, gave a talk at GDC13 about their research into modifying antisocial player behavior.

Fascinating talk! You can watch it here: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1017940/The-Science-Behind-Shaping-Player [25min]

Because this is making me laugh, I share!

(My comment to the post also amuses me, incidentally)

Ok, so I tend to not be able to draw things from inside my head, but this game, link found on [livejournal.com profile] theferrett's journal, looks fascinating.

I'm both afraid of and curious about what kinds of cards would be created!

I _like_ this particular reviews page, as it's basically the kind of thing I like (and don't like!) in computer games (except I also do appreciate pretty graphics): http://www.angelfire.com/hero/tjekanefir/games.htm

Adoration.

Also appreciate that things like 'requires no manual dexterity' or 'There are no spatial or visual puzzles' are mentioned in her reviews, as I can't _do_ spatial puzzles, and things which require much manual dexterity _will_ kill me. Wasn't able to finish the only Final Fantasy game I've tried to play because I couldn't manage to do something stupid like get into formation with the rest of the people going by. Damn manual dexterity requirements!

And telling me that I don't have to keep track of stupid things by hand, rather than the game keeping track of it for me (eg, I am immensely pleased with the fact that there is a journal in Neverwinter Nights which keeps enough information for quest completion even if you go away for months, a place for you to make your own notes, _and_ there is the ability to make your own tags on maps. And the maps are visible while you're walking around, so I'm far less likely to get lost all the time!), is also nice.

Oh, yes. The joy. Now I go find an email address with which to thank the page's author profusely.
