TONIGHT: Video Game Discussion with Wired Columnist

Join RA Chris, FA Terri, and Clive Thompson (video game columnist at Wired Magazine) for a rousing discussion on video games, their effect on society, and why we keep blaming societal problems on them.

Promoting violence and social isolation, creating a climate of addiction, perpetuating stereotypes: videogames have been blamed for all these things at one time or another. Tonight, we will speak with Wired’s video gaming columnist Clive Thompson, comparing his thoughts to our own experiences playing games (our dealing with people who play them.) Our FA Terri will bring in studies the fields of psychology, addiction studies and communications in order to help us think critically about gaming culture, encouraging a more responsible approach to the issue that separates fact from hype.  Clive will also talk with anyone interested in writing about video games or the internet for publication.      

Date: Thursday, May 2

Time: 6:00pm – 8:00pm

Location: C2 Lounge

Terri: Yes
