Tell us about your studies regarding games. What interesting things have you learned?

Constance: Well, overwhelmingly MMOGaming is incredibly intelligent play. It's a digital intellectual playground, truth be told. I've interviewed kids who are disengaged in school and failing basic coursework turn around and do high-level complex thinking and learning in the MMOG they play: write sophisticated arguments over ethics and social structures/relations, collect data and build mathematical models of the game dynamics in an effort to find the best exploit, research topics in history as a way to craft engaging fan-fictions related to the game.
