Colbert Interview on Persuasive Video Games

Here's a funny interview by Mr. Colbert with Ian Bogost, a Georgia Tech professor I was fortunate to meet, and whose workshop I attended at the Games Learning & Society conference. Colbert voices the misgivings most people probably think when talking games and learning, and Ian voices some key game-learning affordances with skill. Is Ian convincing that video games can teach things worth your while?

I was going to call you and tell you that I saw this episode of the Colbert Report. It was quite funny. I'm suprised that this guy is actually a professor. In the interview, I thought he came across as being just a guy with a website and a crappy book that he was trying to sell. I wasn't that impressed.

It's funny because you are the first person that I thought of when I saw this.
