It's New. It's a League. It's for Gamers. It's the League for Gamers! (Video)

Intrepid correspondent Timothy Lord writes, "I talked at SXSW with Kari Hale of League For Gamers, an organization started just a few months ago by Red 5 Studios founder CEO Mark Kern. (Kern was also team lead for World of Warcraft.) League for Gamers shares some of the goals of groups like the EFF and EPIC, but — as you might guess from the name — is tightly focused on the world of gaming. The group owes its existence to SOPA; the money used to start it up had initially been budgeted for Red 5 Studios' appearance at the most recent E3, but E3 sponsor's Entertainment Software Association's support for SOPA led Kern to withdraw from the show. Kari gave a quick rundown of the origins of the League, what it hopes to accomplish, and what sorts of efforts it's so far undertaken."

Gaming Rights is apparently a thing, now?

Gee, how shrewd to place a girl as the frontman for a gamer group's propaganda video...

Note to Kari Hale

Just because you're a cute, geeky, gamer chic does not absolve you of the necessity to not use the words, "Uh", "Um", or "Ah" every two seconds when speaking.

I realize geeks are not necessarily the most extroverted or conversationally eloquent, but when trying to describe what your League is about, not using the above words will make you a much better speaker.

Sidenote: yeah Obama, get your act together as well. Saying "Um" every five seconds is just as disconcerting. You're the President after all though at least you can form coherent sentences or read prepared speeches, unlike the last guy.
