Jason Hawreliak from The Games Institute has been featured in UWaterloo's Alumni blog:
Although I’ve moved from UWaterloo to Brock, I continue to work with the Games Institute in many areas. The Games Institute is this wonderful mashup of people from the Humanities, Engineering, Computer Science, and industry. There are a lot of really exciting things happening there. Basically if it has to do with games, we’re interested in it. The Games Institute project which takes up most of my time though is being an editor for , an online game studies periodical I helped start a couple of years ago with some fellow UWaterloo grad students. FPS is trying to provide a venue for timely but informed conversations surrounding game studies. We want to occupy the middle space between academic journals, which are very slow moving, and online discussions on games, which can sometimes lack context. In a fast moving field like game studies, we believe that you need timely but rigorous discourse. I’m really proud of how FPS has grown over the past two years and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
