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.
Serious Games Interactive, led by WCG friend Simon Egenfeldt-Nielsen, has announced several open jobs. The group created Global Conflicts: Palestine and is currently working on some new projects.
