Playing video games at a Local Area Network (LAN) has become a complex social activity. Engaging with these games requires more than simply accomplishing the games’ objectives: it is also a process of socialisation within a community of gamers. Through my observation of players' activities at a Cape Town based LAN event, I begin to outline where, when and how social learning and sharing occurs at these events. I will show how playing games in a LAN setting can teach valuable interpersonal and social skills. 2015-01-06T12:05:33Z 2015-01-06T12:05:33Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11556 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
