Hi, everyone! I passed my summer exams and my parents bought me the Tomb Raider DVD as a present! It’s an old film, but it’s got my favourite video game character in it: Lara Croft! I already have all the Tomb Raider video games. I like Lara Croft because she is very clever and strong. In the game, she jumps, climbs through dangerous places and searches for ancient things. You should definitely play it! Who’s your favourite video game character? Posted by: Dan_16, 6/12, 18:38 Tomb Raider is a great film, Dan – I should watch it again! My favourite video game character is Super Mario! He lives in the Mushroom Kingdom and he’s very brave. He spends his time helping Princess Peach escape from Bowser. Mario’s nickname is Jumpman because he can do fantastic jumps! My favourite thing about him, though, is how he looks: he always wears a red tracksuit and a red cap with the letter ‘M’ on it. I think he looks cute!

  • THE MYSTERIOUS LARA CROFT: Digibimbo Vs. Digiheroine
    THE MYSTERIOUS LARA CROFT: Digibimbo vs. Digiheroine 1 Rachelle Fernandez February 12th, 2001 STS145: Case History Prospectus Every once in a while, a game comes along whose influence extends beyond the gaming world and into contemporary society. One interesting and hotly debated aspect of this is the role certain video games play in gender politics. Consider the following. Scene One. A helicopter, its propellers whipping the air, zooms into the scene and drops down an agile figure onto the ground. It’s a woman, dressed in hiking shorts with pistols holstered to both thighs. The woman has landed in a dark cave and, after a cautious look around, begins to explore it, sometimes walking cautiously, other times running ahead, leaping boulders. She comes across a flare lying mysteriously on the wet cavern floor. With a happy sigh, she picks the item up. Suddenly the woman hears low grumble behind her and somersaults backwards to face an angry tiger. She whips out two automatic pistols and blasts the tiger to its death, her face contorted in a snarl. Scene Two. An exotic dancer is performing in a strip club. The camera zooms away from her to reveal an empty audience. The slogan “Where The Boys Are” is flashed across the screen while a crowd of lusty men rapidly exit the strip club in pursuit of the same woman we just saw exploring eerie caverns. 2 This “woman” isn’t even really a woman at all. She’s Lara Croft, the star in the hit video game series Tomb Raider. Lara Croft is something of a cultural icon.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.

BOAT -- NIGHT 1 DREAM SEQUENCE The dark cabin of the boat sways in the surf. LARA sleeps on a couch. She stirs at the sound of a boat engine, opening her eyes. The light streaming in through the blinds starts to move across the wall. Lara tracks it until it comes to a stop. A shadow begins to move revealing a silhouette of a man. He takes a few steps towards her. The shadow speaks with the voice of RICHARD CROFT, Lara's father. SHADOW RICHARD CROFT Lara. Wake up. You're almost there. Lara squints and rubs her eyes, trying to understand what she is seeing. SHADOW RICHARD CROFT (CONT'D) They are coming, Lara. LARA CROFT What? Who? SHADOW RICHARD CROFT They are already here. The sound of another boat engine. Lara sits up and looks out of the window. Through the blinds she can see several boats with flood lights and dozens of men with machine guns. She turns back and the shadowed figure of her father is gone. Lara looks out the window once more. A WOMAN stands in silhouette on the center boat. Her voice booms over the loud speakers. SILHOUETTE WOMAN We have you now, Lara. There is no escape. In a flash Lara is on her feet and up the stairs as the cabin is blasted with machine gun fire. 2. 2 EXT.

But beyond that, I appreciated the book’s message that the road to happiness is to be true to yourself first.” - The FlyLeaf Review “An extremely adorkable read about being comfortable in your own skin. Get ready to bring out your inner nerd!” - Sara Book Nerd “THE SUMMER I BECAME A NERD is everything you want in an ideal summer; it’s fun and bright, with the perfect mix of romance and nerdiness. You’ll devour this book with as much enthusiasm as the main character devours the latest comic book.” - Alice in Readerland “A total feel good romance with plenty of laughs and smiles, and just the right amount of emotion.” - A Good Addiction “A sweet and fun summer read that turns the tables on the popular guy/nerdy girl scenario and refreshingly features a popular girl who wants to let her nerd flag fly.

  • Adaptation and New Media: Establishing the Videogame As an Adaptive Medium
    Adaptation and New Media: Establishing the Videogame as an Adaptive Medium On 26 April 2014, at a landfill site in New Mexico, thousands of copies of the 1983 videogame ET were found, games that had been buried by Atari after its economic and critical failure. Made and released in just six weeks, the game was intended to be, according to makers Atari, “emotionally oriented” and “based on the film’s sentimentality for the alien” (Guins 2014: 216). As an adaptation of one of the highest grossing films of 1982, it was an attempt to build on its success, but players quickly discovered that it had no ludic or narrative depth, that the graphics were inferior (even by 1983 standards), and began returning the game to retailers in droves. As the flaws became manifest, Atari buried the games in a secret location, which quickly became urban myth, until a documentary crew rediscovered it over thirty years later. ET cost Atari approximately twenty million dollars for the license alone, and its failure helped bring about the company’s subsequent demise; it has since gone on to be described as “the worst game ever” (Guins 2014: 217). In 2015, videogame adaptations have become much more successful and popular than this unidirectional and unsuccessful beginning suggests: tie-in videogames are frequently made to coincide with film releases, novelisations of videogames are becoming increasingly popular, and films based on videogames are now a common form. Videogames, while still being considered a niche market by some, have fast become a leading and profitable business, and have, in recent years, seen changes in their reception and creation, including their ability to adapt and remediate other media.
