Video Game Theory Twitterati

I have mentioned to my tutorials that one of the wonders of working in a "new media" academic field is that so many of the academics are actually familiar with new media. One of the ramifications of this is that they are easier to find and follow online. Twitter seems to be the chosen space (although Google+ is not bad for them either).

I've put together a list of a few Video Games scholars who you may want to follow on Twitter if you are that way inclined. You may recognise some of the names from our course readings. If you know of any others (or stumble across them), feel free to add a comment, and I will keep the list up-to-date. I was going to do an official Twitter list, but energy failed me. If the list gets long enough, I'll do that.

Bear in mind that many of these people socialise on Twitter as well as working, so not every post will be academic gold. Also, most people are very happy to engage in discussion if they're not busy, but remember the golden rule - don't be a dick.
