Did hump day come early this week?

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Gargantugame!

I contemplated not even posting this. But it seems to be all over the place which incensed me beyond belief. So I thought it was time once again to try to do damage control on the gamer image.

As gamers we have a certain opinion about how gaming influences the greater society.  Many of us believe that we can separate the gaming from the violence.  Many of us believe we can commit mass murder in a virtual world and not even consider walking the real streets armed and homicidal.  Most of all; many of us believe that gaming is free speech and protected from censorship.  However, is there a game so universally wretched that it should be banned?

One of the more interesting sessions that I sat in on at Paris GDC really had nothing to do with games…yet. But it has implications for the future of gaming that could create some of the more realistic social interactions ever seen in gaming.

Adding another 80,000 square feet of convention space and hosting more than 70 exhibitors, the fifth annual Penny Arcade Expo is sure to be huge!  The Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle will host the event August 29th-31st.
