Will Wright Interview

[smellincoffee]

Will Wright is the man who thought up SimCity and The Sims. You might recognize his head from the large rock in Strangetown. He's just appeared on a podcast I like called StarTalk Radio, hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson and usually about science and astronomy. This particular episode is called "Advancing to the Next Level: The Science of Videogames (http://www.startalkradio.net/show/advancing-to-the-next-level-the-science-of-video-games-part-1/) ".

Thank you! I love Neil! Watched so many of his documentaries over and over.

Oohh! I'll have to give this a listen.

Edit: Pretty good so far. I loved the discussion about how video games "create violence." And one of them says something [sarcasm] along the lines of "well, we don't want you to play on the machines but we don't care if you're outside tying your friend to a tree."

He was also featured in the documentary called "Through the Wormhole", narrated by Morgan Freeman, awesome doco. I was so excited when I saw TS2 pop up. xD
