Water Cooler Games - Bogost on Colbert

Bogost on Colbert
August 4, 2007 - by Ian Bogost

Patrick Dugan outed me, so I figured I'd better fess up here too. I'll be a guest on The Colbert Report next Tuesday (August 7). We'll be talking about the new book and some of my studio's games.

Comment from Cyranix on August 8, 2007

Just caught the interview minutes ago -- great job! Normally Colbert is pretty good about shutting people down, but you kept on going.

I think I caught word of this through GameSetWatch; I'm definitely going to be reading up on Persuasive Games more in the near future!

Great performance, Ian. Informative, funny, to the point. In the repor it's a real challenge!

Comment from Xeromax on August 8, 2007

Hey just saw that interview and found this site! I really respected you views on gaming, and thought it'd be a good idea to look around here

Comment from jccalhoun on August 8, 2007

Nice job. Nice to see some thoughtful coverage of videogames get some national coverage.

It seemed as if he let you talk a lot more than he does other guests. Did you get the feeling he was really interested in the subject?

We need the first-hand scoop. (Sort of a counterpoint to Jenkin's piece about being on Donahue's MSNBC show)

I saw the program and liked your take on GTA San Andreas. Your appearance on the Colbert Report is what brought me here.

Comment from andrewstern on August 8, 2007

great job!

Comment from Dakota Reese on August 8, 2007

Very nicely done. Although my first impression was, "Wow...Ian is wearing a suit."

Comment from Borut on August 9, 2007

Nice! Well done.

Comment from cpalmer on August 9, 2007

Colbert was the first I'd heard of your work -your site(s) and book(s) strongly relate to some of my interests as an art educator, and I appreciate learning about them. Congratulations on the exposure, and on keeping your composure. -Dr. Carleton Palmer
