EA Spouse Posts Plans for Watchdog Organ

Posted by Zonk on from the anonymous-blog-for-social-change dept.

Jaero writes "The Spouse has a followup post to her "EA: The Human Story" from over a month ago. Not only was it nominated for a Best Software Essay of 2004, but she has revealed plans to start an independent industry watchdog organization called GameWatch.org, meant to monitor the quality of life in the game development world. Anyone will be able to post their story, as well as design the logo (a contest which lasts until January 15th)."

  1. Watchdog Organ? by HTH+NE1 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Headline writers should be careful about creating needless and misleading abbreviations. Especially a headline that uses both "spouse" and "organ".

    Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
  2. Can you imagine an organized strike of IT workers? by 9mm+Censor · · Score: 5, Funny

    It certainly would be organized, but geeks on strike? I think not, stikes are outside and picket signs are heavy.

    Calling the Screen Actor's Guild a union is like Theresa Heinz Kerry calling herself an "African American":

    Technically correct, but laughable to put it that way.

    Information wants to be anthropomorphized.

    We could picket IBMs headquarters armed with nerf weapons ! Scab workers wouldnt stand a chance ! Our striking song could be SF filk and instead of lighting those fires in bin things to keep warm in winter we'd just warm ourselves next to a small beowolf cluster. And of course our picket signs would actually be plasma screens ties to sticks... with nicely rendered 3d slogans.

    Im there... but only if I dont have to stand up for too long... and make sure there is plenty of coffee and snacks.
