Games are important to me. They provide me with an escape. They make me worry less and compartmentalize my stress, letting me pragmatically approach solving my own problems.  And, finally, they provide a beautiful metaphor to our lives. When I'm online surfing the Steam Store, I want to know what will connect me to Pierre in France, or Shota in Japan. What will game get me connected with the world? And who is doing it?

This means that we can analyze specifically a few data streams about gamers:

1) Who's online

2) What they are playing

3) What genre that game falls in

4) On a total scale, what percentage of the total population they fall into

Luckily, this question can be answered pretty simply: with a graphic visualization that allows gamers to see what's the buzz in gaming about the world.
