Be sure to catch our next episode this Thursday, September 5th at 1PM ET/1800 GMT, where we will feature Jeff Atwood, the esteemed man behind Coding Horror and co-founder of StackOverflow.

Regardless of where you might stand on the gamification versus game-design debate, each side has many lessons to offer to the other when you consider differences in their design. This week we brought on Jon Radoff, CEO of DisruptorBeam, to give us his input on various facets of gamification design as a game-designer. We take deep looks into story narratives, feedback loop lengths, and many other game design theories as it relates to gamification.
