I guess it wouldn't help for books; the biggest problem with videogame theory attribution is that so much foundational work is still in print form and not easily search-able. That said, when somebody puts a blurb at the bottom of every article they…
Hey, Steven Poole, awesome job writing about flaneurs and games without even mentioning the fact that Ian Bogost wrote half a book on it.
I have no idea. I'll post my ID here though:

VGHVI PS3 (!) Gaming: Little Big Planet at Playstation Network
September 17, 2009 from 9:30pm to 11:30pm
This week, we'll do our Thursday gaming on the PS3 instead of XBL for the first time. (Though Jonathan and Roger may be playing on XBL as well, I'm not sure.) The game we've chosen is Little Big Planet. (Which, incidentally, just got a Game of the Y…
I might be able to show up if I finish enough work, which depends on how much work my gf has :P
XBox Live Gaming: Left 4 Dead at XBox Live
September 10, 2009 from 9:30pm to 10:30pm
Another month, another batch of Zombies to kill. Please join your fellow VGHVI members in upholding human values by playing Left 4 Dead this week; as always, it's Thursday at 9:30 EDT / 6:30 PDT, send a friends request to "a vghvi" first if you have…
I accidentally bought 500 dollars worth of games last month, so there's no way I can do DLC with y'all. All for the best though, I didn't know if I'd be able to transport my RB gear out to my girlfriend's house anyway ;) Looking forward to the next…
XBox Live Gaming! (Board Games) at XBox Live
July 30, 2009 from 9:30pm to 11:30pm
This Thursday, we'll play some of our favorite board games; maybe Catan, maybe Carcassonne, maybe both, depending on people's mood. As always, add "a vghvi" as a friend if you haven't done so already.
Finally fixed my girlfriend's router, so I can use the Internet in her apartment without depriving her of access to homework. So I'm hoping I can attend (I downloaded Big Surf Island, but haven't played it yet) but can't be 100% on it if work stuff…
XBox Live Gaming! (Burnout Paradise) at XBox Live
July 23, 2009 from 9:30pm to 11:30pm
Our regular dose of automotive chaos. I'll be out this week; I'm not 100% sure if Roger will be there, but Jonathan said he would. So if you don't see Roger, look for Academy of Dr X. I'll be back next week, promise!
Got a wedding to attend! Blargh!
Yeah he was in Australia the week before that. Which is nice, because it means we get to have our meetings on the email instead of in his office.
I was excited about that virtual worlds CFP, and then I saw that the conference was in Australia. I need a virtual worlds conference in the southeast, due to my lack of, like, travel money and stuff.

As for PS3 games, I only own PS3 exclusives for that system... if they're cross-platform I always go 360, because XBLive doesn't intermittently kick me out of online matches every 45 minutes or so.
When Trine comes to the PS3, it…
XBox Live Gaming (Castle Crashers) at XBox Live
June 25, 2009 from 9:30pm to 11:30pm
The oh-so-cerebral perennial VGHVI favorite. Add XBL friend "a vghvi" and fire up the game at 9:30pm Eastern on Thursday for an invite!
I'm gonna have to be on permanent "might" for the summer. I won't know whether I'll be in the same city as my 360 until school starts back up. Seriously want to do this, though!
