In case you missed it, be sure to catch the YouTube footage of game designer Ian Bogost on this Tuesday’s Colbert Report. Colbert, with his faux-Republican act, can be a tough host when it comes to letting guests speak their piece, however progressive. Bogost, however, does a more than admirable job of explaining the potential power of games with a smile on his face. His descriptions of how games can put us in other people’s shoes are approachable, but not dumbed down for a mass media audience. He comes off as smart, patient, and right. It’s enough to make this gamer proud. Good job, Ian Bogost, wherever you are…
