Critical Distance: Keywords in Play
Leisure:Video Games
This month we turn our attention to the genre anthology book, Shooter. Edited by Patrick Lindsey and Reid McCarter, the book bought 15 essays and a forward by Clint Hocking placing a wide variety of shooter video games in a historical and cultural context. We discuss their focus on a broad genre as opposed to a single game, what they were trying to say with the book and the process of putting together such an anthology.
Unlike previous books, as this one is an anthology and in that spirit we decided to get some of the writers for some micro interviews. Thank you to Robert Rath, Corey Milne and Javy Gwaltney for making the time.
