    I was actually really impressed with the interview. Colbert’s style of extracting information from his interviewees has always been a little unorthodox to say the least, however I felt that a person uneducated in the ideas behind serious gaming would have at least had the concept of what Ian was talking about after watching this.

    I thought it was an interesting interview, but I’m not sure what I think about creating games that are persuasive just because you can, regardless of whether or not they’re fun. I guess that seems random to me? I’ll have to read his book, I suppose. 🙂

    Bogost did a good job giving gaming as a whole legitimacy – if nothing else he just showed some people who may not have known, that those involved in gaming are more intellectual than commonly portrayed.

    I particularly like the Colbert retort about Ian’s games:
    (paraphrased)
    “Oh these games aren’t just for nerds, there for Wonky-Nerds”

    I like how Ian didnt let Colbert get any jabs past him during the interview as he is wont to do.

    Wonky-Games 4tw Ian!

    Good Stuff
