Em 1º de Maio de 1964 os militares, com apoio da imprensa, da burguesia e ajuda dos EUA, deram um golpe militar, tirando João Goulart da presidência e instaurando uma ditadura civil-militar que durou até 15 de março de 1985. Além dos diversos crimes contra a humanidade, o governo militar também foi responsável pela quebra da economia nacional e por uma política protecionista que moldou a forma como os brasileiros jogariam videogame, a chamada reserva de mercado, que foi extinguida apenas em 1991, 6 anos depois do início da Nova República. Como resultado, a indústria de games e a ditadura militar são interconectados, não apenas por como a primeira foi moldada, mas também pela problemática ralação que sociedade civil possui com esse período, dado que os crimes da ditadura nuca foram julgados e a história desse período é até hoje incompreendida pela população e escondida sob o véu da anistia. Sendo assim, abordamos neste episódio como a ditadura militar moldou nossa indústria de games e olhamos para os poucos jogos que abordam esse tema.

Conan Exiles, lançado em 2017, chamou atenção dos veículos de imprensa devido a uma feature que permitia a personalização do pênis e seios na tela de criação de personagens. A novidade rendeu muitos memes, gifs e publicidade para o novo jogo, mas alguns meses após seu lançamento, a ferramenta foi removida por questões de classificação indicativa. Mas ainda assim, o jogo pode ser visto como o catalizador de uma discussão que foi levantada no artigo O falo em jogo: a customização do pênis no videogame Conan Exiles, que aborda as implicações da possibilidade de personalização do falo, assim como sua ligação com os ideais de virilidade e heteronormatividade propagada pela cultura pop. Para abordar assuntos que passam pela teoria queer e estudos de gênero, recebemos o autor do artigo, Guilherme Miorando, que é Doutorando em Ciências da Comunicação pela UNISINOS e especializando em Histórias em Quadrinhos nas Faculdades EST.

No episódio dessa semana, recebemos Júlia Matos para conversar sobre city builders, ou os famosos simuladores de construir cidade, como SimCity, o primeiro de seu gênero, Cities: Skylines, que é atualmente o jogo mais popular do gênero, e o jovem e complexo Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic, que coloca o jogador em cargo de construir uma cidade do bloco soviético que seja autossuficiente, sendo o primeiro jogo de city builders que parte de uma ontologia socialista. Júlia Matos é Doutoranda em História dos Estados Unidos e Mestre em História dos Estados Unidos pela UnB, com enfoque em Migrações, Nativismo e Políticas Estatais de discriminações a grupos minoritários entre o fim do século XIX e primeiras décadas do século XX.

Videogames são mais do que aparatos tecnológicos feitos de placas de circuito e processadores de silício, são objetos discursivos e um local (virtual ou não) de construção de subjetividade e de cultura. São sítios produtores de histórias e deixam vestígios e rastros, assim como uma antiga sociedade que se descobre ao escavar um sitio arqueológico. Essa é a proposta de Andrew Reinhard, aplicar conceitos da arqueologia ao videogame. Logo, falaremos neste episódio de archaeogaming e preservação de jogos. Para conversar sobre isso, recebemos Camila de Ávila, Doutoranda no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Comunicação na linha de pesquisa Mídias e Processos Audiovisuais pela UNISINOS e Mestre em Ciências da Comunicação pela mesma instituição. Camila também integra o Grupo de Pesquisa Audiovisualidades e Tecnocultura: Comunicação, Memória e Design (TCAv), e também o Grupo de Pesquisa ARISE - Arqueologia Interativa e Simulações Eletrônicas (MAE-USP).

Have you ever played a video game and thought: “How accurate is this?”? That is the essence of what we hoped to discuss in this episode, and to do it, we were joined by Gillian's “gaming” boyfriend, Luke Smith. A more conversational episode than many others, Luke brings his experience with many video games, and especially the Assassin's Creed series, and Kelsey, Lulu and Gill discuss the historical “correctness” of these games based on archaeological analyses. This was a fun episode! It might even inspire you to spend some lockdown time gaming. **Note: Gill and Luke had an issue with their mic, so the sound quality is not the best! Sorry about that.

Archaeologist, musician, archaeogamer, and all-around-boundary-pusher, Andrew Reinhard, joins the Go Dig a Hole podcast for its 50th episode! Reinhard discusses his latest album, "Assemblage Theory", a collection of open-source samples and found sounds that were put together to form dance tracks - each with a special twist. Archaeological theory and adapted methods guided the creative process throughout. The best part; it's free to download here: https://bit.ly/2JHalgn Learn how Reinhard applies archaeological theory to music production, archaeogaming, punk archaeology, and more in this episode of the Go Dig a Hole podcast.

Daniel Kwan (host of the Curiosity in Focus podcast) joins this episode of GDAH to continue our conversation about archaeology in pop culture. In this, Kwan and I cover some examples of archaeology in TV, games (board and video), and music. Kwan, being a pop culture aficionado, blasts through a list of TV shows portraying archaeology in various ways. It is the portrayal of archaeology and archaeologists that says something important about attitudes toward the discipline. From Star Trek's even-handed application of cultural relativism in the Star Fleet's "prime directive", to Hank Hill's indignant frustration with an archaeologist who ruins his yard in King of the Hill, views on archaeology's relevance as a discipline and archaeologists' credibility as stewards of cultural resources run wide. Shifting to games, we give a nod to the pioneers of Archaeogaming - researchers examining the way archaeology is presented in games, and the ways archaeological theory and method can be applied to built virtual environments, the code itself, and the physical material of game packaging. As for archaeology in board games, Kwan relates examples of archaeological theory and method being applied to tabletop role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and Coriolis. We take two approaches to discussing archaeology in music - one is the role music plays in our experience in the field; the other covers references to archaeology or the products of its research in song. I mention my secret love of reggae and reggaeton, and how I actually used to hate it until years of working in the Caribbean/Central American nation of Belize got me hooked. There’s a song by Damian Marley (son of Bob Marley) & Nas called “Patience” that references ancient culture, oral traditional knowledge, archaeologists, Indiana Jones, and makes a call against the hangovers of colonialism - a recurring theme in reggae and Rastafarianism. At one point, Nas says “discovering the world before this world, buried in time, uncovered in rhyme”. The music video kinda rules too. Turning to one of my favorite bands, I can’t believe it’s already been 2 years since this album came out - “Luminiferous” by High on Fire. I was floored when I read this interview with guitarist/singer, Matt Pike, who full-on believes aliens have been among humans since Ancient Sumer. Stoner and Doom metal are subgenres that are rife with references to ancient cultures and pseudoarchaeological claims to the occult. Some of my favorite bands in this style, like The Sword or Electric Wizard, often make (cheesy) references to either real or imaginary ancient material culture to relate themes of power, violence, and life experience in current real-world settings. There are also passing references in a couple Modest Mouse songs to archaeology. I can’t find the link to the interview but their lead singer, Isaac Brock, apparently studied anthropology in school before graduating with an Associates Degree.

On today's show we talk with ArchaeoGaming pioneer and expert, Andrew Reinhard. We find out what archaeogaming is and why it's important to the public. It's not just about the ethics of archaeology as represented in games, but, the games themselves.

The panel discusses new and inventive ways to communicate their work in ArchaeoGaming. What's the best way to present data about gaming? Maybe write your own game? Create a video? Podcast about it? And is Academia ready for a shift away from traditional ink and paper forms of presentation and how can we help it along?

In the first Episode of 8bit Test Pit: Main Campaign we meet our host panel Andrew Reinhard, Meghan Dennis, and Tara Copplestone. We talk about what Archaeogaming is, the history of the field, and what the overall goals of studying the intersection of gaming and archaeology are. We also talk about the upcoming No Man's Sky Survey and why a survey like this should be done.

8Bit Test Pit is here to put Archaeogaming on the map. Hosted by key players in the archaeogaming world, 8Bit Test Pit sets out to explain the weird and wonderful connections between the study of our past and the virtual worlds we like to explore.

What is ArchaeoGaming? We talk to Andrew Reinhard, the lead archaeologist behind the Atari Excavations that you may have heard about and the one that started the website, archaeogaming.com. We find out exactly what archaeogaming is, what it's future is, and what it means to real-world archaeology.

This week, Richard and Bill welcomed their first guest into the studio: Andrew Reinhard. We convinced Andrew to talk to us about his research on Archaeogaming which is the archaeology in and of video games. We became particularly interested in his assertion that “meatspace” is no different than the virtual space of games. This, as you might guess, triggered some vigorous discussion that eventually devolved into Bill citing Pierre Bourdieu and railing against capitalism, Richard interviewing his 8-year-old son and comparing capitalism and video games to religion, and the homunculus who operates Andrew’s flesh robot almost leaping out of his head. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
