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.

Health Games Discussion List
by Ian Bogost October 22, 2003

Ben Sawyer from Digital Mill and the Serious Games Project announces a new listserv on Games for Health. Here's what Ben sez:

This new listserv will allow a unique community of game developers, researchers, policymakers and healthcare professionals to explore how to work together to utilize games and game technology to improve the state and quality of healthcare in the world today.

Talk to me about same sex marriage. So much of what I read says, essentially, "that's not what I grew up with, and I don't like anything different." Is that really all that's bothering you?

Do you think same sex marriage "challenges" or "threatens" your idea of marriage? And (assuming not) is there any reason not to allow same-sex folk to endure the hardships, stresses, responsibilities of marriage?

All "we" want is to be given the same responsibilities that "married" folk face. When our spouses expire, we expect to pick up the tab. We also expect to inherit. That's so awful?

We'd like to fill out a one-page form at City Hall and have the whole thing done. City/State/Feds. Is that asking a lot? (That's the way it works for straight folk.)

GAY PEOPLE ASK ONLY THE PERKS AND "RIGHTS" THAT OTHER PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Would that be an insufferable compromise?
