When Game Theorists Duel

Fight, fight! I love when academics dust it up over publications, its so mentally invigorating... and subtlety catty.

Big brain gamer Henry Jenkins of MIT fame takes to task, quite politely, Ian Bogost of Watercooler Games fame about Bogost's review of his new book: Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Collide.

The critique critique looks at Bogost's take on Reality and Fiction, Affective Economics and, God help us, Bogost's use of the word "buttery" to describe the book. The longish, intellectually stimulating counter-point is just part one of what appears to be the makings of another book.
