Bogost on gamification.

This is Bogost's personal webpage and I thought it was interesting to look at not just to gather more info about Bogost, but also because the website itself has an interesting layout worth dissecting or borrowing for our own sites. :)

Bogost talking with Stephen Colbert. Nation, this man believes video games aren't just for wasting time.

Bogost on "the new aesthetic." The focus is the tumblr blog "the new aesthetic" which focuses on "the otherness of computer vision." New or no?

Blod devoted to videogame "archaeology" as Bogost would call it. The site actually suggests reading his book too.

Interesting idea from Bogost. Although he labels it as game art, I might consider this a multimedia piece as the code itself, the process of "re-soldering" and essentially rebuilding the game cartridge, and then the finished project performed online with DIY functionality seems much more complex than the book describes. Personally I think it's a brilliant but I'm not sure I know what (if anything) it means...
