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.

Very serious about trivial games

Ok, this post is totally off-topic but I really wanted to share the good news. Cartoon Network just released new data about Big Fat Awesome House Party, the game that my company Powerful Robot developed for them. According to AWN, " to date, the game has attracted 6.6 million registered users". As it happens with most online stats, it always depends on how you count (I bet many people registered twice or more). But in any case, I must admit that I was really surprised by the success of this game. I just wanted to ask the Powerful Robot team to take a bow, you guys are really fantastic! Once again, sorry for the off-topic post but I'm simply just too proud of my team and I wanted everybody to know about how cool they are :)
