Water Cooler Games
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.

Gaming for the People

Public Policy Games
Think of DR as the Danish version of the BBC. The fact is that DR, along with Diginet and the IT University of Copenhagen (home of the Center for Computer Game Research) are hosting an event on Friday 23rd. The event is called Gaming for the People and wants to explore the possibilities of games and videogames for public service. I am very happy of being part of this event and I hope it can help to spread some good ideas on games and their impact on real life.
