Letzte Woche ist (endlich) mein Buch "Transmediale Topoi - Medienübergreifende Erzählwelten in seriellen Narrativen" erschienen. Worum geht's? Ein kleiner (zu langer) Thread zur Übersicht (01/15): #transmedia #storytelling #worldbuilding #storyworlds #mediastudies #gamestudies

Every time a live-service game with no hook or strong word of mouth fails to penetrate an oversaturated market, the most annoying people on the planet will be there to blame diversity

...gerade zufällig gefunden: Jakob Andriamaro hat unseren letzten Sammelband "Playful Materialities" rezensiert: "Der Sammelband ist ein beeindruckendes Beispiel dafür, wie holistische Spieleforschung, die gängige Diskurse überdenkt und ausweitet, aussehen kann." Wunderbar!

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

Liebe Game Studies-Menschen, mal angenommen, ihr hättet in eurer Uni-Laufbahn ein medienwissenschaftliches Seminar über #ResidentEvil besucht - was hättet ihr gern behandelt? Was hättet ihr gern gemacht? Welche Konzepte und welche Fallbeispiele sollten auf gar keinen Fall fehlen?

CfP: This year’s CEEGS takes place in Leipzig (19.-21.10.). Mikhail and I are facilitating a workshop with the topic “Gaming and Neurodiversity”. If you have a nice idea for a presentation concerning neurodiversity in games/community/industry, join us! bit.ly/3PRh1gz

So @rockpapershot wrote about their games of the year so far...
"Hayden: I have icky feelings about Diablo 4. On the one hand, it demands my time for a grind that rarely feels impactful, chucking Legendaries and Uniques at me with random stat rolls that aren't exciting to chase. The classes are limited in their build variety, with a few standout options and little room to experiment outside of the predetermined archetypes There are countless gripes, and no room to discuss them here. And yet! I can’t stop playing. Diablo 4 has sunk its claws in deep, and I return every night for more delectable demon-smacking. I delve into Nightmare Dungeons, and cheer when I get a drop that does matter for my build, rare so it may be."

Today the conference "Games & Literature" takes place at the @DLAMarbach in Marbach. I am very much looking forward to being there with a lecture on the readability of games - and how a game literacy unfolds its effect in a 'distortion mirror' of participatory culture.

ALIEN was released 44 years ago today. One of the definitive science fiction/horror movies, its influence is still seen to this day. The behind-the-scenes story of how the film was made is a fascinating one... A THREAD 1/38

...schade, dass hier der Nachsatz, der in der Folge kommt, rausgeschnitten wurde. Denn natürlich gab und gibt es Überschneidungen zwischen 'journalistischen' Formaten wie Stay Forever und den Game Studies, die sich unbedingt weiter auszuloten lohnen. Ein Mini-🧵1/7

Bei @stayforeverDE fällt die Antwort auf die Frage, ob und inwiefern die deutsprachige Digitalspielforschung den Kontakt zur Digitalspielberichterstattung sonderlich sucht, ziemlich klar aus. #gamestudies #spielforschung #podcast #Spielepresse #spieljournalismus
