Book Description
How can videogame glitches foment critical thinking and self-directed learning in adults? How do Super Mario World videogame glitches contribute to this skill set? This book pinpoints the range of skills called into play and challenged when an individual encounters glitches while playing video games; more specifically, it is concerned with which media literacy skills are attained or developed independently of supervision.These are a few of the questions examined by Beatriz Albuquerque in this text, with the core of this study being the question of how encounters with arbitrary glitches can motivate and elicit critical thinking. In addition to that, the book investigates how self-directed learning can be explored in the classroom. This book considers how experimentation through forms of play fosters profound and complex connections in adults between creativity, productivity, imagination, knowledge, and coping strategies. It is in the joining of these two main areas of research (new media literacies and the educational importance of play) and by taking glitches seriously that this study emerges in support of self-directed learning as a facilitator for critical thinking.

Book Description
The definitive story of the rise of Nintendo. In 1981, Nintendo of America was a one-year-old business already on the brink of failure. Its president, Mino Arakawa, was stuck with two thousand unsold arcade cabinets for a dud of a game (Radar Scope). So he hatched a plan. Back in Japan, a boyish, shaggy-haired staff artist named Shigeru Miyamoto designed a new game for the unsold cabinets featuring an angry gorilla and a small jumping man. Donkey Kong brought in $180 million in its first year alone and launched the career of a short, chubby plumber named Mario. Since then, Mario has starred in over two hundred games, generating profits in the billions. He is more recognizable than Mickey Mouse, yet he’s little more than a mustache in bib overalls. How did a mere smear of pixels gain such huge popularity? Super Mario tells the story behind the Nintendo games millions of us grew up with, explaining how a Japanese trading card company rose to dominate the fiercely competitive video-game industry.
