In the past two weeks I have discovered an entire world of online commentary focused on the various aspects of gaming culture.  I have had the pleasure of having dialogs with a few of them.  Over the weekend I had a lot of fun answering questions posed by Trevor Owens, a contributor to Play the Past (a website “dedicated to thoughtfully exploring and discussing the intersection of cultural heritage (very broadly defined) and games/meaningful play (equally broadly defined)).  Trevor is a digital archivist at the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) in the Office of Strategic Initiatives at the Library of Congress and a doctoral student at GMU.  I think I need to interview him, I’m pretty curious about his line of work and studies.

The interview forced me to put into words a lot of things I have been thinking about.

The Last Night At Chinatown Fair Arcade: Interview with Director Kurt Vincent.

I am excited to meet up with Ben Gilbert, a Brooklyn based writer for Joystiq, to do an interview this week.  He actually lives in the same area as Irene and I.  You can read a post that he made on the movie here.
