Download or read book My Fractured Mind written by Saundra Akers and published by A Mysterious Ohio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a composite of short pieces of writing that were inspired by writing prompts. When writing to a prompt it is amazing what the writer will come up with on a given day. The same prompt given a week later might have an entirely different result. Our minds have so many hidden thoughts and ideas that might never come to light without these little prods to our subconscious. The author has chosen to express these thoughts in short stories, articles, and in poetry form. It's not just that the ideas are different on different days but the form in which the writer will choose to express the idea is also different. I hope you will enjoy these fractured pieces of my mind.

Download or read book Gaming Representation written by Jennifer Malkowski and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaming Representation' offers a timely and interdisciplinary call for greater inclusivity in video games. The issue of equality transcends the current focus in the field of Game Studies on code, materiality, and platforms. Journalists and bloggers have begun to hold the digital game industry and culture accountable for the discrimination routinely endured by female gamers, queer gamers, and gamers of color. Video game developers are responding to these critiques, but scholarly discussion of representation in games has lagged behind. Contributors to this volume examine portrayals of race, gender, and sexuality in a range of games, from casuals like Diner Dash, to indies like Journey and The Binding of Isaac, to mainstream games from the Grand Theft Auto, BioShock, Spec Ops, The Last of Us, and Max Payne franchises. Arguing that representation and identity function as systems in games that share a stronger connection to code and platforms than it may first appear, 'Gaming Representation' pushes gaming scholarship to new levels of inquiry, theorizing, and imagination.
