I don't think computer gaming is near that status - it's still a subculture. On what do you base the assertion that "we’re nearing a watershed point in US gaming history where games will become truly mainstream pop culture?"

If anyone played on the server without a name where you could practice shooting with flying dummies, that was mine. What amazed me about the game was how much "skiing" changed the game. It allowed you to scale mountains and make much better use of your jet pack without losing speed, it's what took me from just loving the game to becoming addicted for a short while.

At grass roots level gaming and not into the bigger teams as usual... give others a chance and support a better infrastructure.

Tell me what you think of the orange pad we worked on it with all of our professional gamers and our designer... Although I'm not sure were in need of Charity quite yet, I do however think publicity is always helpful to educate the masses!
