  <title><![CDATA[Bogost Interviewed in Casual Connect]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.iac.gatech.edu/faculty-and-staff/faculty/bio/bogost">Ian Bogost</a>,&nbsp;</strong>professor in the&nbsp;<strong>School of Literature, Media, and Communication,&nbsp;</strong>was interviewed in&nbsp;<em>Casual Connect. &nbsp;</em>"As a game designer, Bogost creates games that comment on social and political issues. His games have dealt with airport security, consumer debt, disaffected workers, and the petroleum industry—to name just a few. two of his most notable games are Cow Clicker, a Facebook game designed to parody standard Facebook games like FarmVille, and A Slow Year, which uses games as a spark to create the sort of emotional and artistic experiences otherwise associated with poetry." &nbsp;In this exclusive interview, Bogost explains his experience in gaming, computing, and the liberal arts connections. &nbsp;</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
