No matter who you are, and no matter where you fall politically on the war in Iraq, if you're a gamer and you care about other gamers like you, check out Zeyad's entry at his Healing Iraq webblog about gaming in Iraq.
I've been following Zeyad's new blog for awhile for political/information reasons, and it's relieving, if not comforting, to hear about what Iraqis do for fun, even if it means pirated games and old machines.
It's nice to know that gaming is so prevalent in our society that it continues to thrive even in a post-war hostile environment. It makes me want to send a care package to Iraq with a bunch of my old games in it.
South Africa isn't exactly what I would call "war torn", but piracy is also the order of the day here as the cost of such luxuries continue to soar to astronomical heights (£70 average per new game title). It seems it's not only post-war countries that suffer, but more the developing world.
At the core though, whether it be an Atari, Pentium 4, original Game Boy or PlayStation 2 you're using, gaming pulls people together to cross over any boundaries uniting us all :D
