Why Games? – Dispelling Myths About Games

A friend of mine over at R Galaxy Comics called me one day and said, “Greg, I gave a friend of mine some info about your film and you got to get in touch with her.  You are working on similar projects and you guys would really hit it off.”  There began my quest to meet with the elusive Liz Danforth.  

After several weeks of banging our calendars together, I was given the opportunity to meet with her.  I strolled into the coffee shop and found a woman plugging away on her iPhone and wearing a Burning Crusade t-shirt. It had to be her. After a few minutes, we settled into our respective views and began to get silly from there. She is a very interesting person who has had her pulse on the gaming world for years.  I learned about her artwork, the historical power inherent in a library and her current project that delves into the mystery surrounding games and their public perceptions.  After jamming for several hours, I came away with a sense of her passion and desire relative to games and gaming.

Take a look at her project and decide for yourself. It is currently in its exploratory phase so look for more information as she works to finish her independent research study later this year.

Needless to say, the reward was worth my efforts.  Thanks Liz.
