MMO Ethnography

MMO Ethnography sounds fantastic. I love reading interviews with gamers about how and why they do certain things, and the choices they make, and the idea of combining that with a study on MMO players takes me back to my long-ago days of MMOing when I would ask people endless questions and read all the forums and study everything. The practices that develop are quite fascinating. I now want to look up similar studies and see who else has worked in this sphere. There’s a lot to unpack. Fascinating here that’s it’s done as classes with new players. I wonder about other ways in.

As for the Leonard, I’m grateful to have such a long list of games here, Sam! I feel like he made my life easier for the Men of Color video. Seriously, though, the end is chilling. Quoting Stormfront – what a way to demonstrate the impact of games. Still, I very much enjoy his different reasonings for studying games and their position in culture and what all that can reveal.
