Doug Lowenstein's ranks-breaking farewell address as head dude of the ESA and the call to arms for risk-taking and accountability - our thoughts on this Indie Wednesday. Also, Garrett checks in with the Gaming Market Watch, and Mike's 30 Seconds of Joy/Love for the just-announced XBLA Wing Commander.

We talk about Doug's indictment of those assembled for failing to be part of the Video Game Voters' Network. With everything that's been going on in the past few years regarding games and legislation, we also think this is huge. You should get involved if you care about such things. End of Sermon.

We're back on schedule! Just in time to be off it again. Hopefully we'll have an announcement (in the good news category) about our ability to cover GDC very soon.
