- GameCulture – "WarGames" Writer Returns with Screenplay About Dead Game Designer Gone WrongToday I became the happiest moviegoer on earth. Via the ECA (twitter.com/theECA): "Walter Parkes, who wrote ‘WarGames’ and ‘Sneakers’ but hasn’t penned a script since, is working on a screenplay for Paramount about a legendary game designer whose sinister code lives on long after he’s dead. The movie is an adaptation of Daniel Suarez’ (aka Leinad Zeraus) 2006 novel, Daemon."
- GameCulture – Geeks Flourish at Utah Campus Where Classes in Social Skills Are a Graduation Requirement"As the Times points out, it’s not surprising students at Neumont spend so much time getting an LCD tan: classes run eight hours a day, five days a week, year-round, with only a few weeks off. Which is why Neumont students are required to take three classes in interpersonal skills before graduating. Teacher and student alike acknowledge the humor in the situation, and the classes sound like the geek equivalent of Sex Ed — everyone has to attend, but no one really wants to be there."
