New Issue of Online Mag Focuses on Government & Games

Be sure to check out the latest issue of The Escapist, which deals with the government and gaming.

Highlights include (and I'm largely quoting the notes of Editor Julianne Greer):

-IGDA Executive Director Jason Della Rocca highlights the current dilemma of the government as it relates to gaming - the game industry strengthens economies, but sometimes stretches our sensibilities, causing strife between the branches.

-Dave Thomas delves into America's Army, our government's first foray into developing a video game, and the purpose behind the game.

-Matthew Hector discusses the recently signed, shortly to be enacted, Illinois Safe Game Act from a legal point of view.

	-Dave Thomas delves into America's Army Wendys and the army, a powerful union. :) "We'll make you so fat you can't run from our bullets!" Jeez GP, that's about 13 posts in 48 hours, do you drink Ritalin or something? Thanks for the link though, I'll check it out. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If Dennis did drink Ritalin, his posts would be more like this. :D "It's got hello kitty, breakdancers and hitler! It must be good!", I said about it, in 2002. /b (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	To get to earlier stories, just click here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/gamepolitics/?skip=20). Afterward, to go further back, type /?skip=40 instead. To go even further back, just type in the date, for example, this will take you to his posts on July 21st (http://www.livejournal.com/users/gamepolitics/2005/07/21). == BearDogg-X == (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Cardboard Tube Samurai Vs. Dancing Black Mage... FIGHT!!! Know nothing, the BM always wins, even when he loses! I'd just start the fight with nuke, he'd fall, and I'd get the White Mage to resurrect him, and I'd teach him to dance cool like me! (Man, that was off-topic :\) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	YES! What great timing for the magazine to put this issue out. I'm writing a paper on this very topic. The Escapist Magazine will be a great source of info. (Reply to this)
