Critical Play: Radical Game Design
English | 336 pages | The MIT Press (September 30, 2009) | ISBN: 0262062682 | PDF | 5.1 MB
For many players, games are entertainment, diversion, relaxation, fantasy.

In Critical Play, artist and game designer Mary Flanagan examines alternative games—games that challenge the accepted norms embedded within the gaming industry—and argues that games designed by artists and activists are reshaping everyday game culture.

National Geographic: Situation Critical - Apollo 13
340 MB l AVI l Duration: 00:45:49 l Bitrate: 126kbps
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under NASA in the United States. The crew members were Commander James A. Lovell, Command Module pilot John L. "Jack" Swigert, and Lunar Module pilot Fred W. Haise. It launched on April 11, 1970. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, caused by a fault in the oxygen tank. The explosion damaged the Service Module, resulting in a loss of oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a “lifeboat” in space. The command module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve the vehicle's capability to reenter Earth’s atmosphere. Despite great hardship caused by severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, the crew successfully returned to Earth.
