1UP COVER STORY | WEEK OF AUGUST 27 | COMMUNITY IN GAMES

Cover Story: A look back at the rumors and personalities of our youth.

T

he elementary school playground is a place where children gather during recess to partake in the unending bliss of childhood exuberance. Four-square is played, tetherballs are knocked back and forth, hundreds of different variations of tag unfold, and the day?s video game rumors are laid out to be discussed. The children often gather at one spot in the playground, one that was perhaps not planned as a spot of meeting, but became one through the spontaneous order that arises from the chaos of school-aged children. Like a gathering of rabbis discussing the intricacies of the Torah, the kids will present to the group rumors and facts about the world of video gaming. Once the statements have been offered, murmurs of approval or disapproval will begin to bubble up from the brief silence. Or perhaps the somewhat level background noise of the playground will be pierced by the disbelieving ?NUH UH!? of a heretic who refuses to believe that there?s a world in Super Mario Bros. called Sky World, and in it Mario flies on a mushroom rocket.
