NPR is slowly but surely becoming the best “mainstream” media outlet for intelligent and well-meaning coverage of videogame news. Their coverage ofIan Bogost’sCow Clickerphenomena was fantastic, and I still regularly link people to their short piece on theperspective of a young female gamer.

A couple of days ago they posted aninterview with Tim Schaferon his past work with LucasArts, his recent success on Kickstarter, and more. This is the kind of thing I’m hoping to do withSup Holmes?(which is on hiatus for the week due to E3 taking over everyone’s lives). Alex and PJ’s mix of genuine fandom and enlighted inqueries make for a fun and informative piece.
