I've fantasized for months now about starting or joining a videogames research institute. My peers and I banter about hyper-media over the bleeps and bangs of a handful of machines in a well-lit room with high ceilings, while someone in an adjoining office packages and sells our expertise and suppositions.
So it is with a mixture of absolute enthusiasm and a wee bit of envy that I pass along a link to the newly formed Center for Computer Games Research Copenhagen. Espen Aarseth, Jesper Juul, Susana Tosca; many of these folks will be familiar to the regular readers of Game Studies. They're hard-working pioneers of game research and it's good to see that they have a home. For those of us who aspire to think for a living, we can follow their progress and papers on this new site.
Ludology.org's Gonzalo Frasca writes about the people involved, and the reasons ludology has flourished in the Scandinavian countries.
These folks have some pretty heavy duty credentials. This looks like amazing work and just the type of enviroment i would want to find myself in. Working (PR dept)to get the word out about what these men and woman are doing. Would something like this fly in the US?

I think that my cousin is jealous of me, because whenever I have a conversation with her, if any, it is very awkward and she seems like she critisizes me or isn't interested in what I have to say. She talks about me, disrespects me, and even deliberatley ignores me for no reason. I think she is just hating on me and it makes me sick. She also stares at me and what really bothers me is she always criticizes me for no reason or finds a reason to say something mean to me and disrespectful and tries to act superior to me and she stares at me when I'm not looking. I think she really wants to murder me or something.
