Opinion | Why It's Important That Gamers Are Calling to #BoycottBlizzard - The New York Times
Friday, the video game company Blizzard Entertainment will welcome tens of thousands of fans to its annual BlizzCon convention across the street from Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. The location is apt. As video games have emerged as the new Hollywood for the next generation (the game business is now bigger than the film box office and the recorded music industries combined ), Blizzard has hoped to become the next Walt Disney Company, the feel-good home of an incomparable stable of revered franchises: Warcraft, Hearthstone, Overwatch, Diablo and StarCraft.
Traditionally, BlizzCon has been nothing short of an all-out lovefest between the company and its players! 4:37 5 References To The 'PlayStation 5' and 'Xbox Two' Next-Gen Consoles IGN!! But that won't be the case this year. In what amounts to the video game generation's political coming-of-age, Blizzard finds itself buffeted by a maelstrom of anger and controversy after the company banned a professional Hearthstone player earlier this month for supporting pro-democracy demonstrators in Hong Kong.
8 Haunted Video Games for Halloween - Scariest Games of All Time
Some video games are haunted. Like the disturbing urban legends that surround Hollywood films such as The Wizard of Oz ’s dead munchkin, or the ghost of the little boy in Three Men and a Baby , there are titles in gaming history that contain a certain kind of dark energy.
Like Altered Beast , or the Woody’s Nightmare sequence in the Toy Story game for Genesis and Super Nintendo, Warlock inhabits a part of my brain that I rarely choose to think about — but it’s not something I am able to forget!

You play as an unknown conjurer, running through a haunted Victorian town, chasing after a levitating old man. This game is by no means beloved, but that’s part of why it’s so scary to me. It almost feels like I was the only one who experienced it. Like it was a bit of trauma I had as a kid, but never discussed with anyone else. —D.N.
5 other disastrous video game launches from history
It's Halloween, more or less, when the undead walk the Earth, bringing with them a spate of frightening and ghoulish video games to cash in on the credulous seasonal demand for frights and scares.
While gamers rue and revel in the Hieronymus Bosh-like horror, let's not forget that disastrous game launches are nothing new. Here are five other video games releases that went spectacularly wrong.
Note, reader, that we've focused on issues at launch. Such is the nature of modern games, that technical issues can be patched after release, and the success or failure of such efforts in any one case would necessitate a feature-length article in itself.

He explains how a second team within the studio is building the most realistic avatar and most realistic environment "ever seen." It's easy to see how the tech could be incorporated into a similar scientific study, placing a patient face-to-face with their illness.
But what is actually happening in the brain physiologically during psychosis? Fletcher concedes that the short answer is "we don't know," and within the scientific community opinion is divided. This is where the Insight Project really hopes to excel. Can it untangle the host of physical and biological signals that relate to anxiety or mental illness? How do these signals change during game play? Can they be controlled?

Charlie Bracke can't remember a time when he wasn't into video games. When he was 5, he loved playing Wolfenstein 3D, a crude, cartoonish computer game in which a player tries to escape a Nazi prison by navigating virtual labyrinths while mowing down enemies. In his teenage years, he became obsessed with more sophisticated shooters and a new generation of online games that allowed thousands of players to inhabit sprawling fantasy worlds. Ultima Online, World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls — he would spend as much as 12 hours a day in these imaginary realms, building cities and fortifications, fighting in epic battles and hunting for treasure.
During his childhood, Bracke's passion for video games, like that of most young Americans, didn't cause him any serious problems. At school, he got along with just about everyone and maintained straight A's. His homework was easy enough that he could complete it on the bus or in class, which allowed him to maximize the time he spent gaming. After school, he would often play video games for hours with his cousin and a small group of close friends before going home for dinner. Then he would head to the den and play on the family computer for a few more hours before bed. When his parents complained, he told them it was no different from their habit of watching TV every night. Besides, he was doing his homework and getting good grades — what more did they want? They relented.
