[game_preservation] The Videogame Archivist

[Jim Leonard]

I watched VGA TV Episode 6 as it looked like it would provide actual 
research and insight, and the content seemed ok if a bit rushed.  I had 
to laugh at the opening screen, however, as it is really badly framed 
(it looks like he couldn't afford a soapbox to stand on).  Close 
examination of the the videogame footage shows it to be authentic (ie. 
captured from the real hardware, not an emulator) so they get some 
respect in that area.

I'm somewhat bothered by their use of "video game" as opposed to 
"videogame".  I know that the former is probably more technically 
accurate, but the latter is such common vernacular that it bugs me.  I'm 
curious what others think (ie. whether or not "video game" or 
"videogame" is more proper).
