Wark describes impact of gaming
February 26, 2008
ADRIAN MUNTEANU / The Dartmouth Staff In his studies of media in the modern world, McKenzie Wark has found that as videogames become more realistic reality seems to have become more like its virtual counterpart. "What if our experience of everyday life was becoming more game-like?" Wark asked members of the Dartmouth community assembled in Haldeman Hall to hear his Monday-night lecture, titled "Gamer Theory." "How would we then think about the game?" Wark, a professor of media studies at the New School's Eugene Lang College in New York, spoke primarily about his newest book, "GAM3R 7H30RY." The work addresses the interaction and overlap between the virtual and real worlds.

Zach Ingbretson / The Dartmouth Staff As I am sure you already know, the title 'league champion' is currently given to the Ivy League team with the best regular season conference record -- a formula that, on the surface, seems to be sufficient to find out which Ancient Eight team is best. Is it, though? As a "retired" Dartmouth baseball player, I have an appreciation for the commitment it takes to play a sport at an Ivy League college.

Tilman Dette / The Dartmouth Staff After one of the season's worst performances against the University of Pennsylvania, the Dartmouth men's basketball team bounced back with a performance against an overmatched Princeton squad on Saturday night, in a game that was indicative of the capabilities the team possessed earlier this season. The Big Green (9-15, 2-8 Ivy) did not show its competitive potential on the basketball court against Penn (10-16, 5-4 Ivy) on Friday night. Despite the support of the crowd at Leede Arena and the return of leading scorer and rebounder Alex Barnett '09 to the starting lineup, Dartmouth fell 88-62, just two weeks after losing to Penn by two points in Philadelphia. "It was extremely frustrating," co-captain Johnathan Ball '08 said after the game.
