"'It's a three-front war, ' a U.S. official said of the FSA rebels' fight" - Nour Malas, WSJ 18 September, 2013 You ever thought about what the fundamentalists are really afraid of? The answer isn't guns. Look at them: almost begging to be shot... death in the battlefield delivers them to the gates of Heaven faster than you'll be able to say, "Dum." "We won't be intimidated by thugs," they answer from their moral higher ground. They believe in the Apocalypse and the Anti-Christ... and maybe that is exactly what they deserve. Let's give it to them. Patti Smith, having raised photographer Robert Mapplethorpe from the dead, wants to stage a performance of La Chasse spirituelle, the lost manuscript of Arthur Rimbaud's. She hasn't discovered it, of course, she's winging it. But Mapplethorpe has other interests - namely, Syria. A mysterious love interest of Smith's from the pharmacy joins the loony couple, who are in for a very special treat. STUN was written out of respect for Russell Crowe in Gladiator, answering his call, "On my mark, unleash Mapplethorpe." ___ They came to see a rendition of that lost masterpiece, La Chasse spirituelle... What they got instead: That vile photographer, back from the dead. It is so depressing! And it won't sell! Luckily, there's a touching love story between Patti Smith and a boy from the pharmacy. It's unreal. Dead bodies just don't heal. Neither do souls full of holes.

Known for their visibility and tendency to generate controversy, first-person shooter (FPS) games are cultural icons and powder-kegs in American society. Contributors will examine a range of FPS games such as the Doom, Half-Life, System Shock, Deus Ex, Halo, Medal of Honor and Call of Duty franchises. By applying and enriching a broad range of perspectives, this volume will address the cultural relevance and place of the genre in game studies, game theory and the cultures of game players.
Guns, Grenades, and Grunts gathers scholars from all disciplines to bring the weight of contemporary social theory and media criticism to bear on the public controversy and intellectual investigation of first-person shooter games. As a genre, FPS games have helped shepherd the game industry from the early days of shareware distribution and underground gaming clans to contemporary multimillion dollar production budgets, Hollywood-style launches, downloadable content and worldwide professional gaming leagues. The FPS has been and will continue to be a staple of the game market.
