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.

General
Whosegame, another make-your-own-game website tool things, is sponsoring a contest to create a serious game using their tools. The game must deal with one of the following topics:
- improve your knowledge in the telecommunications field
- be an eco-citizen with the help of telecommunications
- acting against isolation and exclusion thanks to telecommunications
Yeah, sort of strange topics huh. Anyway, the prizes are cash money: first prize is €5,000, second is €2,500, and third is €1,000. The deadline is March 31, 2009.
