This isn’t exactly news, but I still thought you’d want to hear about it. Nationally broadcast radio showOn The Mediajust put out an episode about videogames, and it’s pretty amazing. A recap of the Atari/Nintendo/Sega-side of the evolution of gaming, a shout out to Poison (gaming’s first confirmed transvestite), some bright ideas on how MMOs (and the people who play them) may change the world, and an excellent critique ofHeavy Rainby a professional author are just a few of the many highlights to be found in this fine program.
Sadly, it still feels like an event whenever a major mainstream media outlet takes a serious, positive, and well crafted stab at discourse about videogames. On the bright-side, that’s exactly what we have here; a fine look at gaming from a non-enthusiast source, withbarely anydisdain or spite towards the medium to be found. I implore you to give this show a listen (link provided below). If this episode does well enough, who knows? Maybe we’ll get more informative, unbiased, and xenophobia-free radio shows about videogames in the future.
