Collection of all three Mighty Ducks adventures following the
fortunes of a very special ice hockey team. In 'The Mighty Ducks
Are the Champions' (1993) Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) is a
luckless yuppie forced to do community service after being caught
drink driving. His penance is to train one of the worst ice hockey
teams in the world. However, while Gordon tries to whip them into
shape, he learns from his new team that winning is not always
everything. In 'D2 - The Mighty Ducks' (1994), the action takes
place at the Junior Goodwill Games in LA, as Bombay is invited to
lead Team USA to victory over the favourites, Iceland, whilst also
having to cope with the distractions of an enveloping media circus.
In 'D3 - The Mighty Ducks' (1996), the Ducks are about to begin a
scholarship at a prestigious new school, which means a new,
no-nonsense coach (Jeffrey Nordling). An icy reception from the
school hockey team results in a loss in the Ducks' form. Can they
defeat the unbeaten senior team and regain their reputation?

The story is about a little rat named Cheese. He was once a lab rat
in Toronto in a secret lab underground in the sewers. The
scientists used him for an experiment. When Cheese fell into a
toxic vat of waste, it changed his life, and he developed all these
crazy powers.
Overcoming the Exploitation of Passion in Videogame Labor: Passion
Play examines the intersection of passion, precarity, and
collocation to pinpoint where and how interventions can be made
towards better working conditions. Jackson contends that videogames
and passion are inextricably linked and explores this intrinsic
link where passion is expected and valorized, be it in the context
of play, work, or culture. Passion, Jackson argues, is the
connective tissue that sews together the shared experiences that
people all over the world will undertake through videogames,
including that's winning close matches, experiencing new worlds,
and forging new friendships. This book interrogates the outcomes of
when labour, videogames, and passion collide - work and play become
inextricably linked, and suddenly a 'passion for games' becomes an
insistent and expected 'passion for work.' This, Jackson ultimately
posits, leads to the current reality of much of the videogame
production industry, where passion is used as a workplace policing
tool and a way to push workers to periods of extended work, or
crunch periods. Through theorizations regarding passion, bodies,
assembly, and assemblage, this text wrestles with what can be done
to manifest real change in the videogame industry. Scholars of
media studies, technology, and labour studies will find this book
of particular interest.
