Rise of the Videogame Zinesters $14.95 "Anna Anthropy is a key personality in the ongoing paradigm shift that is slowly changing the way videogames are understood, by creators and players, and by the wider culture."  —Patrick Alexander, Eegra.com "Equal parts autobiography, ethnography, and how-to manual, this book concisely makes the case for the unique power of 'zinester' games." —Adam Parrish, NYU's Interactive Telecommunication Program (Tisch School of the Arts), and author of the ZZT game "Winter" "These days, everybody can make and distribute a photograph, or a video, or a book.  Rise of the Videogame Zinesters  shows you that everyone can make a videogame, too. But why should they? For Anna Anthropy, it's not for fame or for profit, but for the strange, aimless beauty of personal creativity.” —Ian Bogost, Director, Graduate Program in Digital Media, Georgia Institute of Technology " Rise  is a great guidebook to understanding—and more importantly, participating in—this dynamically evolving culture."  —Jim Munroe, co-founder of the Hand Eye Society and the Difference Engine Initiative “Here, Anna Anthropy demonstrates how people from every background and walk of life are breaking free of the commercial cowardice of major publishers, and bringing their individual visions of the game to life. . . . If game design is to be an art, as those of us who love games fervently hope, it must be rescued from its crushing commercial pressures. You can be a part of its future.”  —Greg Costikyan, author of  I Have No Mouth and I Must Design "Anna gives the world of video games a crucial perspective from her seat of authority within outsider culture, and illustrates how essential it is for the space to empower voices of all kinds if it is to evolve."   —Leigh Alexander, editor-at-large of  Gamasutra

Life Success Strategies - Are We Addicted to Violence?

Why?

Many people ask "Why" in the aftermath of any tragedy. An appropriate question...but, unfortunately, there are no very good answers.

There are, however, are few considerations for all of us to examine.

We have become a violent culture and this violence has occurred very subtly. Via movies and TV shows, through the internet, computer and videogames, and of course through the media's "live" coverage of wars. I don't believe a day goes by in our culture without a major emphasis on violence.

Does this explain why a tragedy happens? No, not entirely, but if we do not do change our values about violence we will likely see more and more of these occurrences, as we have already witnessed too many similar scenarios.

What is this attraction we have with violence? Why do we turn to it so easily and readily? And why have we become so numb to it?

I have only one answer: We use it as a way to escape. Yes, as odd as it sounds, we use violence as a coping mechanism for life.

When you watch intensely violent scenes there are a number of chemical reactions that occur in your body. These neurotransmitter and hormonal reactions inside you all mix together to create an internal "cocktail" that actually gets you high very similar to the ways drugs would get someone high.

The difference, however, is that you never ingested anything and because all this violence is so common place, you may think of it as being "normal" and therefore not even notice that you shifted your mood.

Most people are not even aware that subjecting themselves to violence is actually creating an altered state of consciousness.

Simply put, subjecting ourselves to violence changes the way we feel and this change allows us to escape from life temporarily. This is NO different than what a drug addict does. ALL addiction is driven by the desire to NOT feel.

As weird and far-out as it may sound, we are becoming addicted to violence.

What is even more alarming is that so many young children have so much access to all this violence.

What are we telling our children about violence and life?

What are we teaching them about coping with life and feelings?

What seeds are we planting for future generations?

I have family in Sweden and when I have been there I have noticed they have far less violence on their television shows. Interestingly enough they also have amazingly low murder and assault rates. I have to believe there is some correlation there.

Again, I am not saying that this explains what happens when tragedies occur, but I am saying we need to wake up and adjust our values around violence.

If we do not make changes and we allow all this violence to continue to grow as part of our cultural "pastime" we will surely reap some very negative consequences in the future.

This all starts with you and me.

Will you refuse to watch TV shows that are violent?

Will you contact the sponsors of these shows and boycott their products if they continue to sponsor violence?

Will you refuse to purchase video games that are violent?

Will you refuse to go to movies which have violence as their primary theme?

Will you request that all the major networks and newspapers decrease the amount of emphasis put on violence?

If you don't do this, who will?

Will you instead surround yourself with games, shows and media which embrace life and stimulates thinking and creativity?

Will you practice mediation and other "peaceful" activities to calm yourself?

Will you commit to be more in touch with how you feel so you will be less likely to go on "auto-pilot" and disconnect from your feelings unconsciously?

The choice is ours to make...what will you choose?
