    Now We Are All Sons of Bitches

    Now We Are All Sons of Bitches MICHAEL BONTATIBUS “Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes,” the enigmat- ic G-Man murmurs as he leers into the camera, finishing an eerie opening monologue—and so begins Half-Life 2, Valve Corporation’s flagship game. The last time we saw Gordon Freeman, the protagonist, the same rigid and mysterious (though more poorly animated, since the prequel was released six years earlier) G-Man was handing him a job offer after witnessing the former scientist transform into a warrior, bent on escaping from the besieged Black Mesa Research Facility alive. Now, suddenly, Freeman finds himself on a train. No context.1 Is it a prison train? The three other individuals on it wear uniforms like those the inmates wore in Cool Hand Luke. The train soon stops at its destination, and we realize that it is a prison train, in a way—Freeman has arrived at the Orwellian “City 17,” where the ironically named Civil Protection abuses and oppresses, where antagonist Dr. Breen preaches poet- ic propaganda from large monitors hung high above the town. In the years since scientists at the facility accidentally opened a gateway between dimen- sions and allowed a bevy of grotesque creatures to spill into our universe, Earth has been taken over by the Combine, an alien multiplanetary empire. Breen is merely Earth’s administrator—and we realize that the ashes the G- Man spoke of were the ashes of the prelapsarian world. It’s classic dystopia, complete with a Resistance, of which Freeman soon finds himself the “mes- sianic” leader (HL2).

    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(2) Mar-Apr 2020 |Available online: https://ijels.com/ The Dark Side of GTA: Chinatown Wars Kevin George Department of English, K.E College, Mannanam, Kerala, India Abstract—Released way back in 2009, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is an action-adventure videogame, developed for a console meant for teenagers. However, the videogame drew flak for its inclusion of certain controversial mini-games and missions involving drugs like cocaine and heroin. This short essay/review will focus on the corruptive influence of something as trivial as a videogame and how it works insidiously as a lure to a world of crime, which young minds find irresistible. Keywords—Addiction,Arson, Delusions of power,Drug-dealing, GTA: Chinatown Wars.

    Acquiring Literacy: Techne, Video Games and Composition Pedagogy

    ACQUIRING LITERACY: TECHNE, VIDEO GAMES AND COMPOSITION PEDAGOGY James Robert Schirmer A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2008 Committee: Kristine L. Blair, Advisor Lynda D. Dixon Graduate Faculty Representative Richard C. Gebhardt Gary Heba © 2008 James R. Schirmer All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine L. Blair, Advisor Recent work within composition studies calls for an expansion of the idea of composition itself, an increasing advocacy of approaches that allow and encourage students to greater exploration and more “play.” Such advocacy comes coupled with an acknowledgement of technology as an increasingly influential factor in the lives of students. But without a more thorough understanding of technology and how it is manifest in society, any technological incorporation is almost certain to fail. As technology advances along with society, it is of great importance that we not only keep up but, in fact, reflect on process and progress, much as we encourage students to do in composition courses. This document represents an exercise in such reflection, recognizing past and present understandings of the relationship between technology and society. I thus survey past perspectives on the relationship between techne, phronesis, praxis and ethos with an eye toward how such associative states might evolve. Placing these ideas within the context of video games, I seek applicable explanation of how techne functions in a current, popular technology. In essence, it is an analysis of video games as a techno-pedagogical manifestation of techne. With techne as historical foundation and video games as current literacy practice, both serve to improve approaches to teaching composition.

It must be noted that the term ‘Narratological’ is a rather loose application by the Ludologists and the implications of this are pointed out later in this chapter. 2.

Fontana, London. pp. 158–159. 3.In Gaming Globally: Production, Play, and Place (Huntemann and Aslinger, 2012),theeditors acknowledgethat ‘while gaming maybe global, gaming cultures and practices vary widely depending on the power and voice of var- ious stakeholders’ (p. 27). The paucity of games studies scholarship coming from some of the largest consumers of video games, such as South Korea, China and India, to name a few, is markedly noticeable. The lack of represen- tation of non-Western conceptions of play culture and storytelling traditions is similarly problematic. 4. Chapter 8 will engage with this issue in more detail. 5. ‘(W)reading’ is preferred over the more commonly used neologism ‘wread- ing’toemphasise the supplementarity of the reading and writingprocesses and also to differentiate it from earlier usage that might claim that the two processes are the same thing. 3 (W)Reading the Machinic Game-Narrative 6.

    SPECIAL COMMENTARY Evolve E-Gaming Index ETF HERO invests in equity securities of companies listed domestically and globally with business activities in the electronic gaming industry. As at March 17, 2020 TICKER: HERO (Hedged) UPDATE: During this pandemic crisis, global equities have fallen nearly 30% since the peak of the markets on February 19th. Companies in the portfolio are less affected by this crisis, as revenue for today’s gaming manufacturers are mainly generated online with digital purchases. In addition, online viewership of e-gaming is expected to grow. Take Two Interactive, the owner of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto and NBA 2K games, has recently reported that consumer spending on in-game purchases was up. Take Two Interactive’s online revenue grew 54% YoY. MACROECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS: The eGaming and eSports world did not go unaffected by the growing reality of coronavirus concerns in February. On February 18, Tencent Esports announced that the top two Honor of Kings competitions – China’s King Pro League (KPL) Spring Split and international tournament KPL Global Tour (KPLGT) Spring Split – would move fully online and not be played in front of live audiences due to the coronavirus outbreak. According to the announcement, the decision was made to avoid gathering massive crowds, and ensure the health and safety of fans, players, and related staff.i Nintendo announced that the coronavirus was likely to disrupt production of the Nintendo Switch, Joy-Con controllers, and Ring Fit Adventure game. 96% of Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft consoles are made in China.ii Sales data released in February showed, however, that Nintendo Switch sales (both unit and dollar) in January 2020 once again outsold the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
