Got Game?

Posted by michael on from the got-blog dept.

Hylton Jolliffe writes "Hey, thought you might like a new blog we've just launched on gaming by RIT professor Andrew Phelps. He's going to be writing about a whole host of things: the gaming industry, the rapidly expanding user base, the role of gaming in the entertainment/media spectrum, the technology and standards that undergird today's games, the emerging social phenomena surrounding them, the future of wireless gaming, the study of gaming in academia, blah, blah, blah. Neat stuff and Andy's already in full stride - see this as a possible starting point."

    From one of the blogs "Professor Edward Castronova placed Norrath (the virtual world of Everquest) as the 77th richest world economy, based on the value of the items in the world adjusted to their value in then-current Ebay auctions." hmmmm.... I wonder where France is? T

  5. Time to dust off the old hype. by Rhinobird · · Score: 4, Funny

    Take everything from, like, 5 years ago and replace all instances of 'web' or 'internet' with 'blog'

    hence:
    We plan to leverage the power of the internet to transform our b2b infrastructure into a whole new paradigm...

    transforms into:
    We plan to blog the blog of the blog to blog our blog-2-blog blog into a whole new blog.

    Which makes about as much sense.

    It's so refreshing to have someone talk about games in relation to reality

    I'm sorry, this is related to academia, reality has nothing to do with it!
