Moving Pixels Podcast

Following up last week's podcast on "Femininity and the Female Body in Video Games", this week we decided to discuss masculinity and the male body in games.   This week's contributors include G. Christopher Williams, Nick Dinicola, Thomas Cross, and our guest from last week, Kris Ligman. We discuss a variety of male characters, their body types and personas, and how they relay messages about masculinity to players. In addition to traditional heterosexual constructions of male bodies, we also consider some of the presentations of homosexuality and the masculine.
