[game_preservation] A Life Well Wasted

[Andrew Armstrong]

It'll be good when the new IGDA site comes around and things like this 
can be posted on our blog and be discussed a bit (although actually that 
specific functionality tying it into a forum/email discussion doesn't 
exist...must ask about that).

In any case, sounds interesting, should be something to listen to on the 
way to work. I'll put it on the blog and the resources page tomorrow 
probably along with some other stuff that's still in my RSS feeds.
