Living Game Worlds + Dick Cheney Quail Hunt February 16, 2006 - by Ian Bogost The Living Game Worlds Symposium is on here at Tech. You can watch a live stream, or watch recaps of the sessions, including Will Wright's keynote, on the conference site. Raph Koster is also blogging it (1, 2). In other news, The Huffington Post (yes, that Huffington) has posted Dick Cheney Quail Hunt, a game about the recent Dick Cheney quail hunting debacle. The game is, well, barely a game if it's a game. It deploys a one-button mechanic and a rhetoric of failure. Go play it, it'll just take a minute and you'll see what I mean. I think we can properly call it a newsgame too on account of the timeliness. (thanks to Celia) Comment from on February 18, 2006
