I've been reading and throughly enjoying the newest issue of The Gamer's Quarter. It was just released this week and like the previous seven issues is full of enjoyable essays. The Gamer's Quarter is about as close as I've seen to a creative writing anthology for video games. As librarians and others in education, it's worth your time to check it out and see how games transcend the activity of play and settle into our memories and emotions.
Here are some of the articles I've enjoyed from previous issues as well (all of which are available for download)...

I have had numerous experiences of opening the door on clients who were not comfortably under the sheets. If the establishment does not have the "relaxation switch" make sure that you are quick to get on the table to avoid any uncomfortable racing to the table scenarios. Reiki Limburg
