Dr. Tom Boellstorff: Intellivision and Gaming's Impact On Identity
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://faculty.sites.uci.edu/boellstorff/">Dr. Tom Boellstorff</a>, a professor at the University of California, Irvine, has studied digital environments and human identity for decades. My interest in how identity is shaped by and through digital media and gaming naturally led me to Tom, whose work exists at the intersection of gender, race, technology, media, and material culture. I initially learned about him through his acclaimed research into virtual worlds like Second Life. </p><p>Tom's most recent book, Intellivision: How a Video Game System Battled Atari and Almost Bankrupted Barbie, explores the rise and fall of Intellivision and Mattel's foray into the gaming industry. It also examines Mattel’s marketing strategies as well as the blurring of work and play in the early video game industry of the late 1970s and early 1980s.</p><p>Join Tom and me as we discuss the intersectionality of his research, his recent book on Intellivision, digital economies, the metaverse, and his upcoming project about climate change.</p><p>We hope you enjoy this conversation about the evolving role of technology in shaping human identity. <strong>Please share it if you find it engaging!</strong></p><p></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.draxtor.com/virtualcultures">Click here</a> for information about the documentary Virtual Cultures in Pandemic Times.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/GQw02-me0W4">Click here</a> for the documentary Our Digital Selves (about my research on disability in virtual worlds).</p><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.socsci.uci.edu/~tboellst/bio/Gay-Archipelago-bahasa-Indonesia.pdf">Click here</a> for the Indonesian translation of The Gay Archipelago.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

Yagami: A Fighter's Philosophy and a Vision for Arcade Culture
<p></p><p>Lang Tien, known as Yagami in the fighting game community, is a Singaporean player, commentator, and community builder whose journey embodies resilience and introspection. In a recent Arcade Press interview, Yagami reflected on his path from mastering Street Fighter as a youth to stepping away for a decade to focus on personal challenges, including his time as a pastor. The pandemic reignited his passion, leading him to return to competition and foster connections within the community. Yagami views fighting games as a mirror, emphasizing growth, empathy, and connection over wins, with his philosophy rooted in self-awareness and spiritual grounding.</p><p>A leader in Southeast Asia’s FGC, Yagami is determined to spotlight underrepresented players and foster unity across the linguistically and economically diverse region. With EVO 2026 heading to Singapore, he sees an opportunity to showcase Southeast Asia as a cohesive and competitive force. Yagami’s dedication to elevating others and preserving the artistry of arcade culture cements his role as a visionary advocate in the global FGC.
