Videogames - Theory and Culture (2013)

Links of Relevance

Greetings folks, here are some links to some topical discussions that I thought might be interesting.

Shooters: How Video Games Fund Arms Manufacturers.

Imagination versus the demands for 'purpose' in videogames.

Is the Gaming World ready for women in combat?

An interview with the company that made the 'Cyberpunk' trailer we looked at for representing gender and sexuality in games.  The topic of misogyny in the trailer is raised and sadly the interviewer lets them get away with some non-answers on the subject, but the very way they dodge the topic is educational.  Alas, the comments thread is a hive of scum and villainy... and is thus also worth reading.

The most recent in a series of posts on Rock, Paper, Shotgun featuring the week's best free indie games.

Likewise, the most recent 'Sunday Papers' on RPS, which is a weekly roundup of interesting links regarding games and game culture. 

For the record, RPS has links at the bottom of each post where if you follow the tags, like 'the sunday papers,' for example, it'll bring up a list of every post tagged with that label, and thus an archive of every single one.  Useful stuff.
