text: If you’ve searched for game videos on YouTube or elsewhere, you have no doubt come across some matter of Let’s Play video. It’s a pretty simple format to grasp: somebody plays a game and then offers commentary about the action happening onscreen. The means by which the video creators do this, however, are wide and varied, and several prominent “Let’s Players” have been able to translate their knack for playing a game while amusing a viewing audience into genuine careers.

text: Unlike Counter-Strike’s bomb diffusal or hostage rescue missions, or Unreal’s Domination and Capture The Flag levels, Deus Ex Multiplayer suffers from a lack of variation in game objectives. If there were a computer each team had to hack into, or a civilian under house arrest that one team must assassinate or escort to safety, there would be enough here to court Counter-Strikers away from their screens.

text: There was no mention of it in his email, but if what you’ve said about Half-Life 2 is also true of Men Of Valor, Chris may like to wind down his system to its default settings and try again. I’m not overly hopeful, as the problems with the game seem to be across the board, but thanks for the suggestion. If it doesn’t help Chris, it may well help out a beleaguered Counter-Striker.

dysconsciousness
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: From dys- + consciousness or dysconscious + -ness. Coined by academic Joyce Elaine King in 1991 (see quotation).
Senses: examples: text: Dysconsciousness is an uncritical habit of mind (including perceptions, attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs) that justifies inequity and exploitation by accepting the existing order of things as given. If, as Heaney (1984) suggests, critical consciousness "involves an ethical judgement [sic]" about the social order, dysconsciousness accepts it uncritically.

text: Subscribing to lifelong learning policies does not mean that we also have to subscribe to the language of racism that flows beneath its surface. If there are possibilities for rupturing the fault lines of "dysconsciousness," there are also possibilities for reinscribing racialized discourses and practices.

Forms: form: more dysconscious

Etymology: From dys- + conscious. Coined by academic Joyce Elaine King in 1991 (see quotation).
Senses: examples: text: The findings presented herein will show what these beliefs and responses have to do with what I call "dysconscious racism" to denote the limited and distorted understandings my students have about inequity and cultural diversity—understandings that make it difficult for them them to act in favor of truly equitable edutcation. This article presents a qualitative analysis of dysconscious racism as reflected in the responses of my teacher education students to an open-ended question I posed at the beginning of one of my classes during the fall 1986 academic quarter to assess student knowledge and understanding of social inequity.

text: Directly impacting Deaf consciousness, dysconscious audism is a form of audism by means of an implicit acceptance of the dominant hearing norms and privileges. Dysconscious audism hampers to varying degrees the Deaf individual's consciousness of Deaf identity. The effect of dysconscious audism on Deaf identity is the weakening, if not complete lack, of a Deaf consciousness.
ref: 2003, Eugenie Nicole Gertz, Dysconscious audism and critical deaf studies: Deaf Crit's analysis of unconscious internalization of hegemony within the deaf community (thesis), Los Angeles, C.A.: University of California, Los Angeles:
text: Once the seizure activity spreads to involve areas of the brain that alter consciousness, the patient becomes unaware of their behaviors and does not encode the activity they are involved in. They are thus amnestic for this period, unable to recall what happened to them. This alteration of consciousness, usually termed loss of awareness or a dysconscious state, is different from unconsciousness.
