http://thisspartanlife.com/episodes.php?id=6
shortly before our trip to Melbourne where we premiered this video. Katie is someone we've been wanting to talk to since we started TSL. We picked the fantastic user-made "Transformer" map as our rendezvous point.

Katie Salen is a world renowned author, academic, designer and feature film animator. She is currently an associate professor in the Design and Technology Program at Parsons School of Design in NY. Her work in the fields of gaming, design and animation has included projects with Microsoft, Richard Linklater, the Buckmisnter Fuller Institute and GameLab, which she co-founded with Eric Zimmerman. She is author and editor of several books on game design and game theory, including the influential "Rules Of Play."

As we wandered around a totally dynamic game space, Fyb3roptik was on a very important reconnaissance mission. We're not sure he had as good a time as we did. If anything happens to him, we promise to erect a statue in his memory. Or maybe just write his name with an SMG in a stone wall somewhere
