This picture of him makes him seem like a godly/holy figure. Almost as if he has a halo around his head. I'm looking forward to hearing the interveiw. Only 5 hours to go.

I dunno why it cuts off my messages.... anyway I went on to say that the IGDA is very important to the game industry.

If uploaded or streaming could someone post a link for people not living in the US?.

Thank you :)

Omfg, their letting us have a voice...

@king James
Could you please provide a link?
Thank you

Thanks for providing the link, Knight. Sorry that I didn't check back soon enough to provide it myself. That's the one. Looking at it cooled down, there are a few pieces of reason, but the story lead is as biased as it gets.

"CHICAGO - The telltale signs are ominous: teens holing up in their rooms, ignoring friends, family, even food and a shower, while grades plummet and belligerence soars.

The culprit isn’t alcohol or drugs. It’s video games, which for certain kids can be as powerfully addictive as heroin, some doctors contend."

In two quick paragraphs, our favorite hobby is consigned to the same realm as alcohol and heroin. There's been a few fatalies from video games (oh, Korea...) but to compare it to heroin, a drug that can kill a person who stops taking it? Ridiculous, fear-mongering rhetoric. At least the doctor at the very end of the story notes that too much game playing is usually a symptom of another mental disorder. Of course, that's buried at the end of the article.

I have a lot of respect for Della Rocca, if for nothing else than the fact that he coined the term, "massacre chaser".

@E. Zachary Knight:

Thanks for the link, it led to another link featuring an interview with Morgan Webb, my future wife! (She just doesn't know it yet)

[...] I was called in to do an interview for MSNBC. I was a bit concerned given the overly negative piece that ran as their cover story on the web site. Sadly, I can’t yet find a online version of the video or transcript. Overall the interview went well, though I was anxious/nervous at the start and kinda fumbled on my words a bit (having sat in the video booth for 40 minutes during technical difficulties didn’t help ease my nerves any).
