Ian Bogost sets good example on Colbert Report
We mentioned that this was
coming up yesterday, but, just in case you missed it, here's
Persuasive Games author and game designer
Ian Bogost fighting the good fight for gaming with bastion of truth and light,
Stephen Colbert. We're glad to see it, and not just to watch Colbert wonder aloud if hours of
World of Warcraft (or
Colbertcraft) will prepare him for when our world becomes Warcraft.
We're also glad to see it because Bogost is undeniably a good egg. Instead of just cursing the darkness and hoping to convince a fairly skeptical mainstream media that games aren't necessarily without merit, he's out there actually proving it. In our opinion, we could use a few more Ian Bogosts.
