[game_preservation] A Life Well Wasted

[Henry Lowood]

Some of you may be interested in the far-flung corners of the world that 
the Preserving Virtual Worlds project has reached.  Others I know are 
intensely interested in the world of game collectors.  In either case, 
check out Robert Ashley's new podcast, A Life Well Wasted:

The second episode covers the world of game collectors, which I have to 
say is not so different in some ways from book collectors (said from a 
library perspective). The last quarter or so is about our project. 
Robert Ashley, the man behind ALWW, has said on forums he might release 
the interview with me in its entirety.  He is a bright guy and a great 
interviewer -- makes you wonder about all the talent shaking loose from 1Up.
Oh, the first podcast is also interesting, covering the history and 
demise of EGM.
