You grew up with the game. Now relive the movie adaptation of Super Mario Brothers – the video game movie that proved that no one should ever make video game movies.

It’s no secret that some online video gamers make hostile and harassing comments over voice chat. A new study suggest that men who do so against women are, quite literally, a bunch of losers.

The researchers found a clear link between how well a player performed in a game of Halo 3 and how likely they were to be positive or negative to a female player. Contrastingly, the nature of comments made by male players to other male players was largely consistent, regardless of the respective skill levels.

Michael Kasumovic of University of New South Wales and Jeffrey Huznekoff of Miami University played 163 games of team deathmatch in Halo 3. In each game they did not speak themselves but played the occasional generic audio clip through their microphone making inoffensive comments relating to the gameplay. In 82 games they used a female voice and 81 with a male voice.

They then listened to audio recordings of the games and analyzed the responses to the pre-recorded comments, grouping them as positive, negative or neutral. They then identified the speaker and looked at their Xbox Live skill ranking, along with their performance in the specific game

Of the 189 players who made at least one response, none had a voice that the researchers believed belonged to a female player. The breakdown of the players showed that:

..lower-skilled players were more hostile towards a female-voiced teammate, especially when performing poorly. In contrast, lower-skilled players behaved submissively towards a male-voiced player in the identical scenario. This difference in gender-directed behavior became more extreme with poorer focal-player performance.

The researchers believe that having a female player disrupt the usual “male hierarchy” of the game heightens the perceived difference in status among players of differing abilities, with the poor players responding aggressively to the female to try to mitigate their lowly position.

I’d like to imagine Whale Club as being an arbitrary space in the ocean where some club whale guy was like “this space right here, this is a club now.”

John Gruber linked to Benjamin Mayoʼs 9to5Mac analysis concerning iOSʼs dominance of podcast listening. Mayo writes that most iOS podcast listeners are using Appleʼs first-party podcast app:

Clearly, having the app preinstalled on the system (as of iOS 8) drives a lot of usage.

This is a big deal. Android — at least on Googleʼs Nexus devices — has never shipped with a podcast app preinstalled. Google had their own podcast app, Listen, from 2009 to 2012. They discontinued it because there were plenty of other podcast apps available on the Google Play Store.

(Ironically, podcast subscriptions in the Google Listen app were migrated to Google Reader. Google shut down Reader less than a year later.)

With the lack of a podcast directory and no first-party app, it is clear that Google doesnʼt care about podcasts. But if they are serious about the future of advertising, they would do well to pay attention. Advertising in podcasts is probably the only kind of advertising that I actually pay attention to.

My hair sucks.

This happened at work maybe 6 months ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head, so I made it into a comic!

True comic. The computer was failing to get an IP address from the network several times a day for no apparent reason. My parent’s computer had The Real Problems™

–CON BRAVO–

I’m gonna be in Hamilton, Ontario in like a week for Con Bravo! Whoa! Are YOU gonna be there? Because I will be!

I’ll be doing a webcomic panel with I AM ARG (who is also a server pal/real pal) along with some other webcomic folks!

As someone who is not always up to date with music, movies, TV shows, etc, I am always eternally grateful when someone does *not* freak out about me not knowing something.

This comic is probably based on a true story.
