Resource City!

Before I finish my previously described update on how Mulvey could be relevant to my topic, I wanted to post the list of Resources I will be looking at over the next few weeks, that way if any of you wanted to read ahead or use them as resources of your own you would have them available.

With the help of the lovely Professor Irene Chien, who teaches about Video games at Muhlenberg College, I have been given a list of academic literature to consider for this topic-- most of which can be found in PDF form online.

Obviously you don't have to read these and I will most likely be posting relevant sections here but in case you do get interested and want further reading, here's a list!
