The odyssey of a group of “refugees” from a closed-down online game and an exploration of emergent fan cultures in virtual worlds.Play communities existed long before massively multiplayer online games; they have ranged from bridge clubs to sports leagues, from tabletop role-playing games to Civil War reenactments. With the emergence of digital networks, however, new varieties of adult play communities have appeared, most notably within online games and virtual worlds. Players in these networked worlds sometimes develop a sense of community that transcends the game itself. In Communities of Play, game researcher and designer Celia Pearce explores emergent fan cultures in networked digital worlds―actions by players that do not coincide with the intentions of the game's designers. Pearce looks in particular at the Uru Diaspora―a group of players whose game, Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, closed. These players (primarily baby boomers) immigrated into other worlds, self-identifying as “refugees”; relocated in There.com, they created a hybrid culture integrating aspects of their old world. Ostracized at first, they became community leaders. Pearce analyzes the properties of virtual worlds and looks at the ways design affects emergent behavior. She discusses the methodologies for studying online games, including a personal account of the sometimes messy process of ethnography. Pearce considers the “play turn” in culture and the advent of a participatory global playground enabled by networked digital games every bit as communal as the global village Marshall McLuhan saw united by television. Countering the ludological definition of play as unproductive and pointing to the long history of pre-digital play practices, Pearce argues that play can be a prelude to creativity.

Before mirrorless cameras became a game-changer in the photography world, their compact size and versatility in lens mounting set them apart from their full-sized counterparts. Adorama presents the Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Minolta Rokkor (SR/MD/MC) SLR Lens to Canon EOS M (EF-M Mount) Mirrorless Camera Body, a product from Fotodiox that exemplifies this versatility. This lens mount adapter opens up a world of hundreds of modern and vintage lens options for your mirrorless camera. It's not just about variety; it's about quality and functionality. Our adapters provide infinity focus and manual aperture control, ensuring you have the tools to capture the perfect shot every time. Constructed with durability in mind, the Fotodiox Pro Lens Mount Adapter boasts a sturdy build designed to withstand the rigors of professional use. However, please note that this is a manual adapter. As such, lens functions that depend on electronic communication with the camera body, such as autofocus, AE metering, and image stabilization, will be disrupted. To use this adapter, set your exposure manually or meter using your camera's Aperture Priority (stop-down) mode. If your lens lacks a manual aperture control ring, it will default to its smallest f/stop. Explore the limitless potential of your mirrorless camera with the Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Minolta Rokkor to Canon EOS M from Fotodiox, your gateway to a broader range of lens options.
