Army Men: Military Masculinity in Call of Duty (Gregory Blackburn) -- 4. The End of the Dream? How Grand Theft Auto V Simulates and Subverts Its Male Player-Character Dynamics (Kyle Moody) -- 5.

He Scores Through a Screen: Mediating Masculinities through Hockey Video Games (Marc Ouellette and Steven Conway) -- 8. Militarism and Masculinity in Dungeons & Dragons (Aaron Trammell) -- 9. At the Intersection of Difficulty and Masculinity: Crafting the Play Ethic (Nicholas A. Hanford) -- 10. Orchestrating Difference: Representing Gender in Video Game Music (Michael Austin) -- 11.

Not So Straight Shooters: Queering the Cyborg Body in Masculinized Gaming (Nicholas Taylor and Shira Chess).

This volume addresses the persistent and frequently toxic associations between masculinity and games. It explores many of the critical issues in contemporary studies of masculinity—including issues of fatherhood, homoeroticism, eSports, fan cultures, and militarism—and their intersections with digital games, the contexts of their play, and the social futures associated with sustained involvement in gaming cultures. Unlike much of the research and public discourse that put the onus of “fixing” games and gaming cultures on those at its margins—women, LGBTQ, and people of color—this volume turns attention to men and masculinities, offering vital and productive avenues for both practical and theoretical intervention.
