  6. I don't see your name on the list of the Giveaway Form, could you try to submit it again?
  7. Interesting tests. I find that this kind of survey and research is done a little too much, but none the less you might as well do it about something you like.

  8. (Try to not see the following to much in contrast to this work in specific. I know to little about it. Its about gaming as a research topic in general)

    I can agree to a degree, or rather I can understand where you are coming from. This research always has this subtle taste of justifying gaming with numbers. Yet, when you look at it too many biases such as budget to buy a gaming platform, social expectations/ status of gamer and none gamer, that it is objectively impossible to make any good calls.

    What I am trying to say is that I think there was very little value as hard facts we learned so far. This is also increased by the reproducibility problem (The problem that test made in a study often do not lead to the same results when reproduced by others). Little value means we cant just take this and say gamers are special in a certain way. We cant make real use of this.

    However, the positive point is the interest in understanding a complex system better. Even if we can't get hard rules that if x is y then z, we can still try to understand the dynamics of a system in a intuitive way. And mostly its better to do your own study on the topic, than to read about it. This leads to better questions and better science and not only towards gaming. This also helps formulating better questions in other areas of science. Engaging in science is always productive so I believe. But this is more of a philosophic question.

  10. oh, no, you forgot the "designing" type, I mean, that's about the only thing I do when playing minecraft, designing redstone, and designing builds for EMC. That really is the only thing I do :p

  17. Hey, I won something! :D
    Not sure what I'll do with it, perhaps I'll be able to make someone else happy with it one day. :)
