Hi mate, what sort of Masters are you doing, clinical? I'm particularly interested in gaming addiction and am wondering if your thesis will be looking into that aspect as well, or is it purely based on the positive outcomes of gaming? As for your supervisor, is their research gaming-centric as well? I haven't come across much solid research (other than Van Rooij, and a few others), seems like there is a lot of potential in this topic..

Yep, clinical psychology. No, only the positive effects That's a field not that many understand to research. And yes, this is part of my supervisors research. But there's a lot more to the survey too, just want to see the correlations between the different questions, e.g. what people like to do in it and get from it.

So, newbie here, from the land of Angry Birds and late Nokia, currently doing Psychology Master’s Thesis on game playing preferences. Hah. If it’s alright with mods, I’m here to promote my online survey. It contains questions like why do you play, how much, what type of games e.g, as well as questions from positive psychological view. What I mean by it is that we want to see the positive effects of gaming. The survey takes about 15 to 20 mins. I know this is long, but all the questions are well thought through and important. So use your time when filling it! Thanks!

Here’s the link to the survey. It guides to webropol, commonly used survey site. Google it!

Welcome.

I'd suggest registering and throwing in an application.

We are not a hard core full-time guild. Happy to have people play as time allows but also have Guild activities to join or just group and run around.

Hi Everyone

So I'm looking to get pretty heavily into The Division with a good aussie guild. I played a bit of it myself during the beta and over the past few days and I'm finding it to be loads of fun though the city can feel a little lonely at times and games are always more fun when played together!

bit of background on me, I'm 24 and living in Melbourne, currently working a hotel in the CBD, the shift work sucks so I fit in my gaming time around that. I'm also currently at uni but this in my placement year so no coursework to get in the way of gaming!

I occasionally still dabble in a bit of SWTOR from time to time but I pretty much play everything, I'm currently also playing through Telltales' Walking Dead series, Fallout 4 & finally playing Borderlands (id be quite happy to have some company there as well hahaha)

I started a Let's Play channel on Youtube a few months back but I just haven't the time to consistently upload anything to it which sucks but maybe i'll go back to it when I get the chance
