Gameology: Commentary and Resources for the Game Studies Community

Ah yes, the "books or games" dilemma - never enough for both (let alone the other things you have on your plate - congrats on the impending fatherhood BTW!). Perhaps a DiGRA Hardcore column highlighting the plight of game studies grad students in the face of the "Next Generation" of hardware is in order... progressively-minded institutions will need to establish gaming facilities so we can compete for access like scientists compete for time pointing the Hubble telescope at things. Okay, maybe not quite like that. But it sure is hard to keep abreast of three consoles and PC gaming while actually having money and time left over for a life.

I guess the message is to kick the thesis out of the nest ASAP and get a real ivory tower job.
