Oh god, referring to 24:50 my girlfriend actually did that once XD It was pretty funny to talk about how our characters reacted to each other. I've never really played? The Sims myself but it really is interesting to hear Will Wright talking about all the ways games can stimulate and manipulate our minds and decision-making. Really cool stuff.

I had a similar childhood. I used to make my own board games whenever I got grounded. :P My mom would take away my nintendo and I'd make my own games in a board game layout with special game rules to make up for the lack of video game hardware and? software. The only dif. is I'm a young adult and this guy is uh... well.... not.

Wrong decision to take about dynamics - it was too philosophical from a pragmatic point of view for the average game designer. Should have picked Will's mind about communities and user psychology. That's really a starting point? for beginner/intermediate designers, and one can only graduate on to philosophizing after imbibing the "low level" stuff first. This presentation is only good enough for the first 30 minutes.

On the subject of playing female avatars in a game, my response is two-fold. On the one hand I agree, I have experienced far more beneficence from other gamers (in-game) when they think they're interacting with a female. And have been chatted up on numerous occasions when not using VOIP which blows my cover! But the other reason is simply that if I'm going to spend tens or hundreds of hours watching a screen - I'd rather? watch a woman running around than a man!

What Will calls the Calvin Factor,? my friend and I refer to as 'Off-Mission Gaming' - and I do it all the time. Playing the game it wasn't meant to be played. In worms it was constructing a network of girders and the swinging and bouncing off them with the ninja rope and making up ridiculous names for the ensuing 'tricks', like Skidpan Hatstand and carjack. My friend and I played 'girder worms' for ages. :-)

1:35:35 This does not apply to Big Rigs: Over the road racing. It's simply too awesome to compare directly to any other piece of software to date.?

@darkrathamantis leave him alone. For all? he knows, video games started with Halomens.

@sl2mmer Get down your ego tower pal. Games are cool, and if more people can enjoy them that can only be a good thing. Famous game writer Lee Sheldon says that we game developers have two goals: 1) making games transcend time and become art, and 2) going mainstream like the other media (books, movies, tv, etc.). 80% of the world population can be categorized as "socializer" gamer type. Just because you don't belong to this type doesn't mean we game designers shouldn't design? for them.

getting casual players into gaming was not a positive thing? :/

I always thought that the study he's referring to at 1:30:45 missed the point as to why a guy would be using a woman character in a video game. I like Indiana Jones movies & such, but that's :( when seeing the character bend down & go through a tunnel, then like 'Charlie Blast's Territory' when you see the character scratch his back side. I'd still rather see Lara? Croft, & most women wouldn't worry about seeing Croft's rear end. 1:09:05 Mario meets SimCity in SNES & on the 64DD both great games.

Will Wright? is the best thing to ever be put on this earth. I want to be a game designer for my career. I am always fasinated by Will's look on games.
