		<title>Podcast and book review for Bashers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For Bashers.nl I now have two regular, monthly contributions. There&#8217;s the monthly podcast; the latest version discusses issues as piracy, Nintendo&#8217;s and Microsoft&#8217;s line-up, Bioshock 2, and the question whether or not games should be “fun” (and if that is even a good question). 
Additionally, I will write a monthly book review on a game [...]]]></description>

		<title>Upcoming talk (March 11) on the aesthetics of wargames</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thursday March 11 I will give a talk, &#8220;De visuele taal van virtuele oorlogsvoering&#8221;, at Nest for the Texture Maps exhibit. In my presentation I will dig deeper into the blurring boundaries between physical violence (war) and virtual warfare (games), the never-ending rise of the military-entertainment complex and, of course, wargames (particularly America&#8217;s Army and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Article on wargames for WW2 commemoration book</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sixty-five years ago the Second World War ended, but it is still with us today. Especially in the Netherlands, grandchildren (like me) listen to their grandparents telling stories about “The War”. For me, and many others for that matter, World War Two has a special meaning as well. For decades now, war (and WW2) has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interview on military games for Revu</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my gamejournalism colleagues, Nick Kivits, wrote an insightful article on the Dutch military&#8217;s perspective on military games. The article is titled “‘Ik heb je, motherfucker!’” and appeared in last week&#8217;s Revu magazine. I contributed with my view on military games in general. The entire 5-paged article, which has an unusual and fancy lay-out, [...]]]></description>

		<title>In-depth interview on social politics for BLIK</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Utrecht University (my alma mater) has a vibrant (new media) student community and a very good student magazine called BLIK. I sat down with the magazine&#8217;s editor and had a long conversation about my views on social politics, the Obama campaign and new media in general (of course, in Dutch). The result is a 6-page [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radio interview for BNR on State of the Union and social media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not that big a secret that I am a big fan of BNR Nieuwsradio. Last Thursday (January 28), I had a great conversation/interview with BNR&#8217;s Paul Van Liempt. We talked about Obama&#8217;s State of the Union address, the current US political landscape, his dwindling support, social media, political organizing, social politics, Fox News, Rush [...]]]></description>

		<title>Post Individu 2.0 debate summaries and analysis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Tuesday (January 26), I participated in a debate on “Individu 2.0”. The debate was hosted by Christian student organizations to prepare for their Easter gathering where they will tackle religious and societal issues. As an outsider/expert I was asked to share my thoughts on the mediatization of everyday life, together with Jan van der [...]]]></description>

		<title>Discussion and book reviews on Bashers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rather than the somewhat traditional list of what made 2009 remarkable (for me), I wrote a book review of 2009&#8217;s three best game books: “De 3 beste boeken over videogames&#8220;. To be sure, there are way more (and arguably better) books published last year, but these three books are best suited for the Bashers.nl audience [...]]]></description>
