“Games can make things more complicated, rather than less complicated,” Ian Bogost told Stephen Colbert last night on the Colbert report.

Pity it’s not embeddable, or on YouTube… I’ve got to say, I’m impressed that a colleague’s on the Colbert Report. And Ian looked and sounded great. I’m looking forward to reading his new book, Persuasive Games.
Update: look at that, Linn figured out how to embed a video from Comedy Central! So I copied it 🙂

Well, thanks for finding it! That’s great that they allow embedding, since they took their videos off YouTube.
