[game_preservation] Art History of Games

[Andrew Armstrong]

Oooh, looks cool, cheap too (compared to almost everything else I've 
ever attended, $40? wow). Hope it's good :)

If I had got our bibliography thing sorted out, I'd ask if the 
organizers were doing slides or videos too, although, actually, are they 
anyway? Some of the talks look interesting (long shot, but you never know!).
