Gaming Wisdom: Anthology of Video Game Writing Begins Pre-Order

Gaming Wisdom, A Compilation of about Iconic Gaming Quotes Starts Pre-Order Campaign

“Gaming Wisdom” meets the reader on an intersection of love for video games and words. It’s a collection of gaming related quotes that made us fall in love with gaming. Be it our favourite lines of dialogue, iconic phrases or quotes from industry’s veterans. Everyone can help publish and co-author a book paying homage to the best writing in gaming.

“It’s dangerous to go alone!” – unnamed old man, The Legend of Zelda.

What were the first words ever uttered in a video game? What can games teach us about life? What were the most audacious lies game makers told us? What pieces of wisdom do game developers chose to share with audience? How do pundits attacked or defended the medium? How did the way we talk about video games evolve? “Gaming Wisdom” aims to answer all these —  and many, many more —  questions.

Since it’s a book about our mutual love of video games, readers are a crucial part of the process. It’s not only up to them to get the book published, but also to shape it. Details on how to contribute and get your favourite quote in the book can be found on the project’s Inkshares page.

Gaming Wisdom is a book aimed at veteran gamers and gaming newcomers alike, making for an entertaining, educating and at times nostalgic read for everyone. Once funded it will start shipping to its backers and bookstores within few months.

Prices for the ebook edition will be $10, signed paperback —  $20 + free shipping in the US.
