Game Theory
Hooray for the Blog-o-sphere! Amidst the waveing malestrom of data the internet spins about carelessly rests pockets of great value, intrigue and interest. Its one of these that i have found and my faith in the internet is restored once again.
The Game Theory show is a regular podcast that explores gaming from a multitude of angles - intelectual, creative, industry and experience. The show manages to strike that balance between being accessible and easy-going whilst at the same time avoiding lowest common denominator and providing a mature insight and discussion. Gamers have grown up and the media around game culture seemingly has too.
Of particular interest is the episode of the
14th August which overviews the history of gaming and game development. In order to know where we're goign we need to know where we've come from....
Likewise the episode of
3rd July strikes a chord with me in the context of my Cinema Education Manifestio -
Holistic Thinking - Integrated Making, This episode looks at the role the teaching of game design and game creation concepts can function in a general eductaion and empower young people with life long analytical and constructivist skills for a digital age they will live in.
Game Theory is well worth a listen; a quality production, very professional podcast filled with consistently good content.
