"Games and simulations allow us to experience hypothetical situations in fun and intuitive ways. From the designers' perspective we need to architect these "possibility landscapes" which players will later explore. Will discusses some of the informal methods, concepts and tools that he uses to approach this design task....":

Will Wright has a big, glowing, throbbing alien brain.

I love listening to him speak.

He needs to buy a hip, new pair of glasses though.

The glasses he traditionally wears are creepy-guy(tm) glasses.

it's so true. I love listening too. perfect pace (for trying to convey so much information) and articulation...a bit fast but clear but casual sounding at the same time....just lovely.

Listening to the older stuff again because I'm currently trying to write my statement for Gameland and there's just SO much I want to say and point to about God Games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_games) and social networks and evolution. But have to keep it short....so I don't even know where to begin. Would love handing out some kind of interactive mindmap instead or some sort of dot matrix of wikipedia definitions.;)
