An Excellent Discussion of Gaming Society @ Nola.com
Tuesday July 7, 2009
A Times-Pic article, City of Heroes Character "Twixt" Becomes Game's Most Hated Outcast Courtesy of Loyola Professor, describes David Myers' research with "griefing" his fellow players and being hated for it in an online game.
