MTV Takes Notice of Gamer Debate Videos
MTV Takes Notice of Gamer Debate Videos
August 16, 2007
The grassroots gamer movement is starting to attract attention.MTV's Stephen Totilo has taken notice of the recent flood of gamer-created videos. Stephen writes:
The [ECA], a membership group supporting the rights of video game players, is trying to get a question about games into the... CNN/YouTube debate among Republican presidential candidates set for next month.
Last week, ECA site GamePolitics.com announced a contest encouraging game fans to file their questions and let the group know about it. Anyone who submits a question is promised a free ECA T-shirt, but the bigger prize might be getting the top Republican candidates to discuss the regulation of video games
Over at PrezVid, a site devoted to covering the 2008 Presidential race through the lens of YouTube, editor Peter Hauck gives the ECA's push for gamer videos a nice mention:
As noted previously, video gamers are taking a break from their joysticks and getting political. For the inside story, go to GamePolitics.com — “Where politics and Video Games collide.” The site, part of the Entertainment Consumers Association, does a nice job covering all things political and cultural related to video games...
GamePolitics has jumped on the grassroots gamer response to the CNN/YouTube Republican debate and is now running a contest to spur more video submissions...
Gamers, your grassroots political efforts are not going unnoticed!

DarkSaber: Journal notes from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. #1: No matter how shiny the things on the other side appear, the wibbly-wobbly things in front of them are invariably fatal. Interesting, but fatal.

JDKJ: And I'm wondering what the "I graduated high school 4 years ago" part has to do with anything. Did your high school diploma have an expiration date stamped on it which has now passed? Like a gallon of milk that's been in the fridge too long?

JDKJ: . . . and the health services industry is not only one of the few industries currently hiring, but they're also paying real good money. Not bad at all for a low-cost, two-year investment. But, again, the choice is yours.

JDKJ: And if there's a local community college nearby you, I'll bet that tuition's dirt cheap. Even if you have to take out loans, it can't be all that bad. And many community colleges offer two-year degrees in health services-related fields . . .

JDKJ: @taco: That's your choice. And not to say it's a bad choice, but there is the downside of you not being very employable without a college education. Not to say that a college degree guarantees you'll get a job. But it can help and usually never hurts.

JDKJ: @taco: The job thing I can understand. It's tough times out there. But why can't you still do the college thing? Grants and loans and work/study. That's how most folks do it.

While I normally support Republicans, I admit that right now the Republicans are backing out on their true ideals...Except for Ron Paul
yay, our videos are starting to get noticed! As soon as i get a good-enough camera, I'm joining
Hey I'm all for Ron Paul, anyone that doesn't make me think 'I'm done with this shitty country when this asshole gets elected' is fine by me.
