I think this initial wave of postings will die down in a week or so… I’ve been saving up a bunch of stuff to post. I have to dig up a short thing I wrote up about adventure games during the Summer-O-Adventure-Games last year and post that, too.
I just added the GaSWorks wiki page to my links. I’ve never quite felt comfortable in that group since they emphasize the simulation part of “games and simulation.” I always felt like we just couldn’t communicate very well since I’m focusing on non-design work… qualitative in nature even!
It’s a shame that the group I felt most comfortable in is in hiatus these past two quarters. We had such grand designs for a UW website, too. ah well…
Hi Mark,
Did you happen to see the story in Wired magazine about how video games are being used to teach diplomacy and social justice awareness? Here’s the link:

It’s good to see video games being applied to push social change and awareness among the ‘net generation.’
I enjoy your blog…Good insight!
