| black mesa vs aperture science: Metagaming Stephanie Boluk, Patrick LeMieux, 2017-04-04 The greatest trick the videogame industry ever pulled was convincing the world that videogames were games rather than a medium for making metagames. Elegantly defined as “games about games,” metagames implicate a diverse range of practices that stray outside the boundaries and bend the rules: from technical glitches and forbidden strategies to Renaissance painting, algorithmic trading, professional sports, and the War on Terror. In Metagaming, Stephanie Boluk and Patrick LeMieux demonstrate how games always extend beyond the screen, and how modders, mappers, streamers, spectators, analysts, and artists are changing the way we play. Metagaming uncovers these alternative histories of play by exploring the strange experiences and unexpected effects that emerge in, on, around, and through videogames. Players puzzle through the problems of perspectival rendering in Portal, perform clandestine acts of electronic espionage in EVE Online, compete and commentate in Korean StarCraft, and speedrun The Legend of Zelda in record times (with or without the use of vision). Companies like Valve attempt to capture the metagame through international e-sports and online marketplaces while the corporate history of Super Mario Bros. is undermined by the endless levels of Infinite Mario, the frustrating pranks of Asshole Mario, and even Super Mario Clouds, a ROM hack exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art. One of the only books to include original software alongside each chapter, Metagaming transforms videogames from packaged products into instruments, equipment, tools, and toys for intervening in the sensory and political economies of everyday life. And although videogames conflate the creativity, criticality, and craft of play with the act of consumption, we don’t simply play videogames—we make metagames. |

| black mesa vs aperture science: The Performance of Video Games Kelly I. Aliano, 2022-10-27 When viewed through the context of an interactive play, a video game player fulfills the roles of both actor and spectator, watching and influencing a game's story in real time. This book presents video gaming as a virtual medium for performance, scrutinizing the ways in which a player's interaction with the narrative informs personal, historical, social and cultural understanding. Centering the author's own experiences as both video game player and performance scholar, the book thoroughly applies concepts from theatre and performance studies. Chapters argue that the posthuman player position now challenges what can be contextualized as a lived experience, and how video games can change players' relationships with historical events and contemporary concerns, ultimately impacting how they develop a sense of self. Using the author's own gaming experiences as a framework, the book focuses on the intersection between player and narrative, exploring what engagement with a storyline reveals about identity and society. |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Respawn Colin Milburn, 2018-11-15 In Respawn Colin Milburn examines the connections between video games, hacking, and science fiction that galvanize technological activism and technological communities. Discussing a wide range of games, from Portal and Final Fantasy VII to Super Mario Sunshine and Shadow of the Colossus, Milburn illustrates how they impact the lives of gamers and non-gamers alike. They also serve as resources for critique, resistance, and insurgency, offering a space for players and hacktivist groups such as Anonymous to challenge obstinate systems and experiment with alternative futures. Providing an essential walkthrough guide to our digital culture and its high-tech controversies, Milburn shows how games and playable media spawn new modes of engagement in a computerized world. |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Science Fiction Video Games Neal Roger Tringham, 2014-09-10 Understand Video Games as Works of Science Fiction and Interactive Stories Science Fiction Video Games focuses on games that are part of the science fiction genre, rather than set in magical milieux or exaggerated versions of our own world. Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this book emphasizes critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyzes narrative via an original categorization of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction. Delve into a Collection of Science Fiction Games The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG). |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Assault Troopers Vaughn Heppner, 2014-03-06 The Earth died when aliens rained thermonuclear warheads on her cities and sprayed the surface with a bio-terminator. A deadly poison drifted to every corner of the planet, threatening the last survivors with annihilation.For a soldier in Antarctica like Creed, there is only one way to keep breathing untainted air. He must join the Jelk Corporation as an assault trooper, leaving the planet for outer space. In return for his and other people's services, the Jelk will house the last humans for as long as the assault troopers keep winning.For the price of living and the chance to save humanity, Creed has to wear a shock chip in his neck-Jelk discipline is harsh-and he has to don a symbiotic battlesuit that feeds off his sweat. Human life is cheap in the vast alien war. The assault troopers are little more than suicide soldiers, but for humanity to escape extinction, they must survive. But Creed didn't agree to the bargain in order to remain a dog to the aliens. He has a plan, and he'll need all his cunning to beat the extraterrestrials and begin the road to freedom for the human race. |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Half-Life Yann François, 2019-05-21 Avec des millions de joueurs et le culte inépuisable qui lui est voué, le jeu vidéo Half-Life, sorti en 1998, n'a pas fini de faire parler de lui ! Half-Life. Un nom d’origine scientifique connu de millions de joueurs, qui vouent au jeu un culte éternel. Un nom synonyme d’odyssée inoubliable : celle d’un héros en fuite, Gordon Freeman, à travers les couloirs d’un centre de recherche envahi par des hordes d’extraterrestres qu’il sera obligé d’affronter avec les moyens du bord. Un nom associé à un autre : celui de Valve, studio surdoué dont le mythe s’est forgé précisément avec Half-Life. Un nom qui a redéfini tout un genre, le FPS, auquel il aura permis d’accéder enfin à la maturité, de la plus belle des manières. Derrière ce jeu inoubliable se cache le studio Valve, qui ont construit le mythe avec la création d'Half-Life. Un décryptage complet du phénomène Half-Life, de sa conception à ses retombées, qui parlera à tous les amateurs de gaming ! EXTRAIT 2004 Je fais mes premiers pas chez Arkane Studios. On n’est pas plus de quinze personnes ! Lors de l’entretien d’embauche, je leur demande s’ils développent toujours leur moteur en interne : « On a mieux que ça. Les gens de chez Valve sont fans d’Arx Fatalis, et ils nous offrent leur moteur Source, avec le support ! » Je me mets à décortiquer des niveaux de Half-Life 2, en avant-première mondiale, pour comprendre comment ces gars-là bossent. Je passe des heures à me balader dans Cité 17, à écouter le son du vent dans les rues, scrutant les textures, à me demander comment quelqu’un a pu entremêler de façon si crédible science-fiction et monde contemporain chargé d’histoire. Et aussi bien donner naissance à cette illusion de vie, créer de l’empathie pour les personnages, alliés ou ennemis, me procurer autant de plaisir à jouer, tout en me laissant le contrôle total. Je joue aux jeux vidéo depuis tout petit. Depuis mon premier ordinateur, un TI-99. Je me suis ensuite procuré toutes les générations de consoles. J’ai vu de superbes jeux, qui m’ont donné un plaisir fou, mais il faut que je l’avoue : Half-Life 2 a été une étape significative dans ma vie, un tournant, même. Il m’a fait comprendre l’importance des mondes qu’on crée à partir de rien, et de l’imbrication entre gameplay, musique, histoire, technologie et design. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE À lire absolument si vous vous intéressez de près ou de loin aux jeux vidéos, à la science-fiction d'anticipation ou à ce véritable phénomène culturel. - Godefroy Vandepoele, Sens critique Très bien écrit, jamais ennuyant, « Half-Life : le FPS libéré » est un excellent livre qui parvient surtout à rappeler aux joueurs pourquoi Half-Life et sa suite sont des jeux si marquants [...] C’est un livre passionnant et sans aucun doute, l’un des meilleurs actuellement disponible sur le marché. - Skywilly, gamesidestory.com |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Religious Transformation in the Late Pre-Hispanic Pueblo World Donna M. Glowacki, Scott Van Keuren, 2012-02-01 The mid-thirteenth century AD marks the beginning of tremendous social change among Ancestral Pueblo peoples of the northern US Southwest that foreshadow the emergence of the modern Pueblo world. Regional depopulations, long-distance migrations, and widespread resettlement into large plaza-oriented villages forever altered community life. Archaeologists have tended to view these historical events as adaptive responses to climatic, environmental, and economic conditions. Recently, however, more attention is being given to the central role of religion during these transformative periods, and to how archaeological remains embody the complex social practices through which Ancestral Pueblo understandings of sacred concepts were expressed and transformed. The contributors to this volume employ a wide range of archaeological evidence to examine the origin and development of religious ideologies and the ways they shaped Pueblo societies across the Southwest in the centuries prior to European contact. With its fresh theoretical approach, it contributes to a better understanding of both the Pueblo past and the anthropological study of religion in ancient contexts This volume will be of interest to both regional specialists and to scholars who work with the broader dimensions of religion and ritual in the human experience. |

This new type of active sensor makes it possible to go beyond traditional 2D image processing, directly to depth-based and 3D scene processing. Many computer vision and graphics applications can benefit from TOF data, including 3D reconstruction, activity and gesture recognition, motion capture and face detection. It is already possible to use multiple TOF cameras, in order to increase the scene coverage, and to combine the depth data with images from several colour cameras. Mixed TOF and colour systems can be used for computational photography, including full 3D scene modelling, as well as for illumination and depth-of-field manipulations. This work is a technical introduction to TOF sensors, from architectural and design issues, to selected image processing and computer vision methods. |

| black mesa vs aperture science: Optical Properties of Semiconductor Nanostructures Marcin L. Sadowski, Marek Potemski, Marian Grynberg, 2000-06-30 Optical methods for investigating semiconductors and the theoretical description of optical processes have always been an important part of semiconductor physics. Only the emphasis placed on different materials changes with time. Here, a large number of papers are devoted to quantum dots, presenting the theory, spectroscopic investigation and methods of producing such structures. Another major part of the book reflects the growing interest in diluted semiconductors and II-IV nanosystems in general. There are also discussions of the fascinating field of photonic crystals. `Classical' low dimensional systems, such as GsAs/GaAlAs quantum wells and heterostructures, still make up a significant part of the results presented, and they also serve as model systems for new phenomena. New materials are being sought, and new experimental techniques are coming on stream, in particular the combination of different spectroscopic modalities. |
