I recently talked with Ogre from the Stabbing Contest podcast and blathered so much that I have the distinction of having the first show he had to cut in half. We talked about games, punk, and perhaps touched on their crossing a bit. I insulted a good portion of punk rock and perhaps some other people, including myself. We also touched on some dirty words like Gamism, Narrativism, and Simulationism. I enjoyed it and it ran about two and a half hours long. Here’s a link to the post for the first part.
Hello Clyde –
Been listening to you a while and really enjoying the things you have to teach.Also being a friend of ogres I really enjoyed being a fly on the wall in this cast.
I’m curious if I can ask you some questions about podcasting – let me know on my e-mail. Thanks
Hey Greg,
Sorry for the delay. Thanks. I’ll contact you right now.
In the text there can be found fascinating discussions of driving the marginal cost of education to zero, and about how to learn the art of obsession – obsession as a good thing, as something which can make people passionate about learning (using game mechanics for instance). A text which combines technologically inspired optimism with hrsaccount social realism, and as such much needed in the discussion of the disruptive changes O’Driscoll, Wilson and others describe and predict.
