## *Here’s what you need to know.*

Because Climate Change isn’t fun enough already, now [there’s a board game about it.](http://prexamples.com/2013/03/meltdown-the-first-board-game-that-melts-released-to-teach-kids-about-climate-change/?ref=killscreen.com) First polar bear off the melting iceberg wins!

[A motion controller is coming to PCs next week.](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/27/leap-motion-controller-starts-shipping-may-13th/?ref=killscreen.com) Our dream for a Minority Report workspace grows ever near.

In this week’s heartwarming moment,[ a dad hacked Donkey Kong for his infant daughter](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeXDNg7scyU&ref=killscreen.com) so she could play as Pauline.

If you’ve been living since the 90s with a bad conscious for pirating an old *Ultima* game, Lord British himself will forgive you[ if you donate at least ten dollars to his Kickstarter campaign.](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/portalarium/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-0?ref=killscreen.com) I wonder if that’s legally binding.

Wired has [a snazzy piece on the conflict between story and gameplay in Tomb Raider.](http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-03/04/storytelling-in-computer-games?ref=killscreen.com) I confess I’ve been pressing X!

The Magazine reports on [the history of the MSX in the Persian Gulf.](http://the-magazine.org/11/game-gulf?ref=killscreen.com) It sounds like Arab game development has a lot of catching up to do.

Determined to outdo the romantic geekery of those future husbands who proposed with a videogame, [some guy did it with the board game Village.](http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/941488/i-proposed-using-a-boardgame-and-she-said-yes?ref=killscreen.com) You know they say that the couple that plays together stays together.

The Mid-Manhatten Library will be hosting [a chapter by chapter play-thru of Spec Ops: The Line.](http://www.nypl.org/blog/2013/03/07/nyplarcade-spec-ops-line?ref=killscreen.com) I weep for books.

And so does Michele Filigate, who, [after seeing an exhibit of books that have not once been checked out, realizes that she as a book-owner has a backlog problem](http://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2013/03/11/borrowed-time/?ref=killscreen.com)–something us players are used to.

And staying academic, [The Princeton Review has ranked it’s top fifteen schools for game design.](http://www.princetonreview.com/top-undergraduate-schools-for-video-game-design.aspx?ref=killscreen.com) Though University of Alabama didn’t make it, I take heart in the fact that none of those that did could beat the Tide in football.

Until next time!
