POPULARITY
On today's show, Ben sits down with Dr. Juan Llamas-Rodriguez, Assistant Professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, to discuss his research at the intersections of border studies, infrastructure studies, and Latin American and Latinx diasporic media.We begin by discussing Juan's approaches to media studies and challenges in the field, then dive into his new book, Border Tunnels: A Media Theory of the U.S.-Mexico Underground (University of Minnesota Press). Together, we reflect on the role of media representing border tunnels–underground networks of built and excavated spaces circumventing the above-ground border. As Juan notes, these tunnels are “nearly inaccessible” to the general public, so through their representation, we see media's capacity to give meaning to “spaces and structures in excess of their real referent.” Importantly, Juan shows us how the “figure of the border tunnel” relates to the escalating efforts to violently fortify and police the U.S.-Mexico border. Juan helps us understand the affordances and limitations of border tunnels' depictions in reality television, newscasts, action films, video games, and speculative design projects. We reflect on the role of popular films that appear in the book, such as the Fast and Furious franchise, video games like Call of Juarez: The Cartel, and the reality television series Border Wars in constructing what Juan calls the “racial infrastructures of the border.” This timely conversation helps us rethink our relationship with popular media and culture, drawing out the seemingly invisible role of border tunnels in shaping our understanding of the borderlands.

On this episode of Attack the Backlog, Marc puts on their best Obama mask and gets high as a kite while burning fields of dreams in Call of Juarez: The Cartel, the kind of dreams that only weed can make true, especially when playing a game that's worst that poo. The Cartel is a bad game in so many ways and the kind of game that leaves you constantly asking why as you play. Call of Juarez: The Cartel originally came out on July 19, 2011, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a PC release a few months after that. Marc played the Xbox 360 version of the game on an Xbox Series X via backward compatibility and highly recommends not doing the same.

In the grand finale of the three episode launch special, the boys change entertainment mediums like an outlaw changes horses as they dive into the realm of cowboy gaming. Taking an in depth look at how the genre has been implemented into video games, and what that medium adds/detracts from the western themes and storytelling aesthetic. With spoiler filled reviews of Rockstar's, "Red Dead Redemption" series, as well as Techland's black sheep, "Call of Juarez: The Cartel".
Eh, we don't hate this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Act 1 of Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
Call of Juarez The Cartel to tytuł, o którym mowa w tym odcinku. Trochę strzelamy, trochę handlujemy białym proszkiem, ale czy to jest fajne? Sprawdźcie sami. Tu także dowiecie się jak zagrać w Gears of War 3 przed premierą! Miłego komentowania^_^
Call of Juarez The Cartel, Metro 2033 29.07.2011
Many thought that the Call of Juarez series had run its course following the disastrous release of Call of Juarez: The Cartel. The backlash it received from its critics and audience seemed like it was the death knell for the western series. Then a little downloadable game released in 2013 as a final send off to the series called Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Gunslinger taps into the schlocky fun of Borderlands, the blistering action of a light-gun arcade shooter, some narrative mechanics from Bastion, and the story of a pulp western. It balances all of these elements astonishingly well, with a handful of flaws.

Es gibt ja so Spiele, von denen hört man zuerst etwas, wenn sich alle drüber aufregen. Call of Juarez: The Cartel ist so ein Spiel. Das allereste, was ich hier gehört habe, war die große Enttäuschung, dass das Spiel nicht wie sein Vorgänger auch im Wilden Westen spielt, sondern in der heutigen USA. Das die […] 0 0 0

Welcome to March, let’s look back at February. Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Gifford scan the headlines and defend girl gamers in their own way, look forward to Gears 3, love on Telltale, read wonderful stories from the ESRB, and learn about hedonism. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow February has officially taken care of business, but did any of it matter? We take our monthly look back at the headlines to see what may stick, but not before our Threesomes of the Week attack. Cole starts the month off right with a wrestling reference right out of the gate, we may have to give him a monthly limit. Our On the Spot question asks the fair question of what the hell is actually going on in the We Dare trailer (link below). The headlines discussion starts off a bit heavy with the ugly side of online gaming and censorship, but Batman and Telltale come in to lighten the mood. We announce the first Horrible All Nighter Xbox Live gaming night for Thursday March 10th at 8pm EST starring Gears of War, too. More details on the site soon. After a few Sony venting sessions, the cast settles in for Gifford’s reading of Duke Nukem Forever’s ESRB details. Where for art thou, fellatio?
