				 Video games need a top ten list. Movies have them, music has them, but the video game industry still hasn't found a solid way to track the country's most popular video games, according to Michael Gallagher, president of the Entertainment Software Association.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5574678/video-games-need-a-billboard-top-ten" title="Click here to read more about Video Games Need a Billboard Top Ten">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				Well, that National Post thing went out the door at little early, so in return I give you a look at another story dated (echo chamber) FROM THE FUTURE ... In tomorrow's Austin American-Statesman is, or will be, a story by their gaming writer, Lilly Rockwell. She talked to Michael Gallagher, described as "one of the game industry's top lobbyists" but not the president of the Entertainment Software Association. Curious. Anyhow, we're familiar with the fact Texas is courting developers with incentives, and Gov. Rick Perry's appearance at E3 says as much. But tucked in the story is this little nugget:				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5068984/dont-mess-with-texas" title="Click here to read more about Don't Mess With Texas">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>

				Technology columnist Mike Musgrove got Entertainment Software Association CEO Michael Gallagher on the horn (<a href="http://kotaku.com/5013609/esa-talks-problems-perceptions-promises">we got him first!</a>) to talk about, what else, ESA's membership losses. Everyone here should be familiar with the story and the pressures that realigning E3 have brought to bear on membership dues, believed to be the motivation for so many big name publishers flying the coop. ESA refers us to the companies to get the reasons for leaving, and so far none have, really.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5014365/id-esa-departure-temporary-and-not-political" title="Click here to read more about Id: ESA Departure "Temporary and not Political"">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
