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.
Ian Bogost sets good example on Colbert Report

We need more of this guy, and less of jack thompson.... who has been strangely, but wonderfully, silent as of lately.
he did well against cobert, so many people just crumble against his off topic, illogical comments.

Except for his wrist... who knew that was his "weak point?"
PS - How long before Viacom kills this clip?
Ian seemed to think that the true art and importance of games comes from being used as a propaganda machine. I think he came out looking like a fool on the Colbert report and I only hope that people dont listen to this mans opinions too much or were gonna end up in a world where games are used to brainwash the masses.

Sure, it would be propaganda, but only if one group's ideas were being presented. And I think to say Bogost is a prick simply because he's thinking outside the box and wanting videogames to be more mainstream, is being closed minded.
I can't understand how people who have no talent become famous and make money.

Some people don't get that luxury. The guy can be pretty harsh with people who come on, being all insane. And while pretending to agree with them, no less.
