There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Ian Bogost, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in the Digital Media program, explains that video games can “help us pose the fundamental political question: what should be the rules by which we live?” Bogost's statement supports the idea that games may be an effective way to stimulate political engagement.
