How I hate these jellyfish! They clone themselves when attacked and quickly multiply to overtake your screen. Having already bested this frustrating enemy multiple times during the last hour of play, I sigh and put down my Nintendo DS portable system. Despite what my colleagues and students might think, playing videogames for academic research is indeed hard work! Even if you don’t actively play videogames, you’ve likely heard the argument that classic Japanese games such as Space Invaders (1978) and Donkey Kong (1981) revitalized the North American gaming industry as it stood on the brink of collapse in the 1980s. These games, and others like it, continue to occupy a central place alongside manga (print comics) and animation within Japan’s transmedia ecosystem. Videogames are a pretty big deal in Japan: each year, over 250,000 people attend the annual Tokyo Game Show; Wi-Fi hotspots in Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district allow passersby to download limited-edition content for their favorite portable games; Mario and Luigi appear on video quiz shows regularly broadcast throughout Tokyo subway cars; and the interactive urinal videogame developed by Sega known as Toylets (2011) even lets men compete in different mini games based on the volume and intensity of their pee.

  • NAACP HOUSTON BRANCH PRESS STATEMENT~ August 1, 2016
    2002 Wheeler Avenue Houston, Texas 77004 Tel:(713)526-3389 ~NAACP HOUSTON BRANCH PRESS STATEMENT~ August 1, 2016 The NAACP Houston Branch Condemns the Use of the N‐Word Since our founding over 107 years ago, the NAACP has remained steadfast in our mission to eliminate racial prejudice wherever it exists in our society. As such, the NAACP condemns the use of the “N” word in every instance and is disappointed to learn of its use by our local Miss Texas Teen USA and newly crowned Miss Teen USA, Karlie Hay. NAACP Houston Branch President James Douglas states: “While we are encouraged that Miss Hay has acknowledged her use of the N‐word, it demonstrates that race is still a tremendous issue in our country today; and it is not only being used by older people but young people as well, and it is further perpetuated by the environment in which they are raised in. Our concern is not just about the N‐ word itself; but the racist attitude behind the word. We must understand that the N‐word is a reflection of a racist attitude and that we first must change our attitudes." now, the NAACP has maintained that the N‐word does nothing to fNAACP National President/CEO Cornell William Brooks states: “Fooster real and r many years meaningful conversations our country needs to have about race, class, segregation and tolerance in our nation and we are, once again, sadly disappointed by its perpetuation in our national dialogue. With a vocabulary of America’s aspirations, the NAACP strives for a day when the n‐word refers to a ‘nation’ indivisible by race, class,
