Game Design Advance has posted a podcast interview with me as part of the Another Castle series.
The interview, here, is about the state and history of video game studies as well as a dive into some of the concepts from Half-Real.
Other interviewees in the Another Castle series include Frank Lantz, Anna Anthropy, Greg Trefry and Richard Rouse III.
Hey Jesper, me again. Listened to your podcast yesterday, and I was intrigued by the Gambit Lab you described. We’re in the middle of setting up something quite similar here at my university, (at least I hope it will be similar) and was wondering if there is any way I could see some of the other questions/games/projects you guys work on there? I haven’t actually gone to the website yet, will be doing that as soon as I get my coffee this morning. Cheers!
Hi Adam
The GAMBIT lab has more info at http://gambit.mit.edu
My current job, the NYU Game Center, is at http://gamecenter.nyu.edu (we will be adding more info in the coming weeks).
Yeah, I have shown my Head of Dept the NYU Game Center before, but GAMBIT seems a great case/example since its been running a while longer and has Henry Jenkins’ name beside it (our Media students read a lot of his work so his name is known around the department). I’m looking through that website now.
If you ever want to come spend some time in a warmer climate, let us know, Australia can be very pleasant, and we have real beaches, not like New York or Boston! :)
