Water Cooler Games served as the web's primary forum for "videogames with an agenda" — coverage of the uses of video games in advertising, politics, education, and other everyday activities, outside the sphere of entertainment.
The site was maintained at watercoolergames.org from 2003-2009, where it was edited by myself and Gonzalo Frasca. It is now archived here in full.
Ship of Fools, a hip Christian online magazine ("the magazine of Christian unrest") will launch Church of Fools on May 11th, 2004. It is going to be a 3 month online game project. They have a project description and some pics. The projects builds up on The Ark, a Big-Brother game they launched last year where you had to vote-out Bible heroes and villains. I am not very sure what the game component of Church of Fools will be (their description sounds more like a 3D chat room), but I am looking forward to check it out when they launch. This is just an example of what religious people are doing with games and new media (check out the forecoming CGDC, Christian Game Developers Conference that will take place in Portland, OR, USA on July 30-31st, 2004).
