<p class="MsoNormal">Wow!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been reading the first issue with ever-increasing delight. Wonderful, illuminating, stimulating essays. I have had a number of History major undergrads who want to write about gaming, and now I have a place to send them. I am passing
this set of links on to the prof teaching our History majors’ seminar this year, and will present it to my graduate methodology (research design) students next spring as a prime example of how to lay the foundations for a new and budding field.<o:p></o:p></p>
