Persuasive Games' Ian Bogost on Colbert Report tonight

by Scott Jon Siegel { Aug 7th 2007 at 3:55PM }

Fans of serious games and/or snarky conservative satires should tune in to Comedy Central's The Colbert Report tonight, as faux-Republican Steven Colbert will be talking with Ian Bogost, game designer and author of the recently-released Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames.

According to Bogost's blog, he'll be talking about his book, and his company of the same name, which has been producing news-oriented games for the New York Times' online Times Select section. The Colbert Report airs tonight at 11:30 PM EST. Who's gonna post the YouTube video? Anyone?

Updated the time; thanks to everyone who corrected this.

WTF are you talking about?

You see that section over on the right side bar with Most Commented On (7 days)? Under Joyswag and RE5 is GayGamer.net which has been brought back online.

And your comment is worded so that the perception is that Joystiq hates GayGamer.net although you had meant the hate through the Denial of Service attacks on GayGamer.net

Chris Shepperd tells me bears aren't the number one threat to America. It's naked mole rats.

Roddie @ Aug 7th 2007 4:22PM

It's robot bears.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 7th 2007 4:27PM

But naked mole rats are like pink gremlins and can disassemble robot bears. Although it's a little tougher when facing bear robots...

its interesting to see a post on joystiq targeting (insulting) a certain demographic of the population. More so when you consider the "outrage" on the same site one day earlier at the thought someone would have something against gaygamer. Also look at the comments on that thread to see some more hate. You reap what you sow thats all i'm saying.
