Welcome - introduce yourself!

Hi, my name is Andrea, a play a few games, I am 22 and studying psychology. I am currently writing my thesis about if video games can have an effect on self-esteem. I am very passionate about investigating this and research more on the positive impact gaming has on its communities.
 
Hi Everyone

Im not sure if this is the right way to introduce myself as I cannot start a new thread until I have 5 replies (so I pressed reply).

I have never been a gamer and haven't played games since I got a Nintendo Gamebooy back in the 90s and my Commodore Amiga. I've just bought a gaming laptop for my work which, given the lockdown, isn't happening so I wanted to find out about PC gaming for me and mainly for my 5 year old who is quickly getting bored of being home!

I'm sure games have changed in the last 25 or so years so looking forward to learning and getting stuck into something new....hopefully with your help! :)

Many thanks

Hey, everyone.

I'm Max. I'm 25 and I like playing games.
I have a small gaming channel as my hobby(don't worry, not here to promote myself).
I've been playing games pretty much all my life, but never was good at making friends online.
That's why I'm here, to meet some interesting people and hopefully make some friends to play games with.
 
Hello everyone!

I have been a gamer all my life and looking forward to joining the community :)

Hi!

I am a university teacher and am looking for advice. I have about 100 students (all in different from two universities in Asia and six universities in Europe) in my online class who work in teams of 4 on group work tasks. (So about 25 teams.) The students do not know each other and are randomly assigned to the groups is to make sure that no team has two students form the same school and there is at leats one Asian participant. Virtual team work is of course unusual for students who are used to do group work face to face in class. Many groups do not work well together.

My theory is that in a virtual setting students lack social interaction.

My solution is to ask students to play a cooperative online game in their group of four and compete with the other groups for who gets the most "points" or whatever. My hope is that this makes teams interact outside the university tasks and have fun together thus improving the groups work.

My students are about 60% female and 40% male. Nationality wise they are 30% Asian (based in two locations Asia) and 70% European (based
in 6 cities in Europe).

I am looking for advice on which game I should "assign" them. The games should be:
1) Cooperative between the four team members.
2) Competitive between teams allowing teams who do well to make that visible to the rest of the class. (e.g. leaderbord or similar).
3) It should not be a non-violent (shooter or similar) game. (I know difficult but these are my schools rules.)

Optional there should also be a clan option where all my 25 teams can join my clan.

Please help me find good games! Preferably these should be for free. But I guess my school may find some money if needed.

Best

Hello guys!

Gaming for countless hours that I became a new element, Guanium.
As Guanium is a brand new element, even scientists are baffled of what properties I have.
So, the question arises, when will Guanium finally be an element in the periodic table? ?

I used to be a hardcore Dota 2 player and eventually quit it for the greater good. However, I am still playing various steam games such as Wuppo Definitive Edition, Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition, Just Cause 3, Styx Master of Shadows, Cities Skylines, AoE III and CoD Warzone (just a newbie in the warzone).
 
Hiya Guanium! Welcome to the community! I think this will be a great place for you!
