[game_preservation] New progress on the Internet Archive's Game Videos section.

[Simon Carless]

Hey guys,

Thanks to the super-helpful Andrew Armstrong, we're making some good
progress on expanding the Internet Archive's collection of game-related
videos, and I'm going to be writing a weekly column on CMP's editor blog
GameSetWatch discussing them - here's the first:

Also, we're tracking updated on the game videos page itself:

Here's the latest ones:

- September 2007: Now adding selected promotional videos and interviews from
the archive of Shacknews and its Fileshack video collection - thanks to
Steve Gibson and Chris Remo.
- September 2007: Added all existing episodes of Scottish satirical video
game show Consolevania to the Game Footage collection.
- September 2007: Added multiple lectures from the Independent Games Summit
to the Game Footage collection - thanks to CMP Technology.

If anyone on the list has videos they would like to contribute or would like
to set up a collection for a specific area of their expertise, then please
contact me offlist. Obviously, videos are only one part of the overall
picture, but they are easy to archive legally and provide a lot of important
information - particularly those with not just game footage in them - so
this is an exciting growth area!

Thanks,
Simon.
