GeekNights at PAX Prime and PAX Dev
We are pleased to announce that we will be speakers at both PAX Prime and PAX Dev 2012. Come see us in Seattle over Labor Day weekend!
Academia vs Reality: Psychology, Game Theory, and Games
Wednesday, August 29th at 3:45pm in the Cascade Ballroom
At PAX Dev, we present a moderated discussion of game design. Everyone knows how games should be made. “Should,” however, can be very far from “are.” Academics assert various design methodologies, game theorists and mathematicians propose quantitative solutions, psychologists talk of “Skinner boxes” and incentivization models, armchair designers rationalize post-hoc “this is how they did it” stories, and actual designers… well, that’s what we’re here to discuss. Join Rym, Scott, Conrad Kreyling, Avery Alix, Luke Crane, and Jared Sorensen.
Short Subjects in Gaming
Friday, August 31st at 3:30pm in our Wolfman theatre
At PAX Prime, we present for your consideration three short subjects: three 20 minute mini-lectures on various topics in gaming. In no particular order: "When the Game Plays the Player," "A Competitive Test of Skill," and "On the Ethics of Mind Control." From rhythm games to CounterStrike, casino gambling to euro-style board games, the relevance of these topics is not to be understated.
