I am really excited to see how this new interactive/community site develops:
http://www.playthenewsgame.com/
It's still in beta and might not be as fun as hand-to-hand combat on the boards, but some of you news-meisters might like it. On a very idealistic level I think it's inspiring and a splendid idea to perhaps get people to dig deeper into current events who might not otherwise get involved in political discussions or pay any attention to stuff. I really hope that it does well.
