Everquest on PS2
Posted on April 09, 2002 @ 17:06 in Research
News.com reports that Sony will release a networking kit and a console version of Everquest for the Playstation 2. As usual Slashdot provides some heated discussion on the topic. With some of the Slashdot posters I wonder about how they will adapt the textual/typing interaction to the PS2. News.com mentions that the interface will be streamlined so that it's going to be easy to use for the PS2 gamers, plus, note!, that the PS2 version of Everquest is called "Everquest Online Adventure" and possible is not compatible with the PC based version of the game.
On a related note, I notice that when I report on stuff relevant to my research, it's mostly on games and gaming... The simple explanation probably is that there's a steady stream of game-related news on the Net, whereas "gender", "the body", "real and virtual", MUDs and IRC are not so prone to getting hyped in the various media. Would there also be a more complicated, in-depth explanation? Enlighten me :-)
On a gender related note, currently reading: Hall, Kira & Mary Bucholtz (eds.) (1995) Gender Articulated. Language and the Socially Constructed Self New York and London: Routledge. [link... I love that picture!]

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
