Will Wright is smarter than me.

He's probably smarter than you, too. Excerpts from a recent talk:

One of my favorite types of movie is one that’s going along, la la la, and then suddenly it takes a crazy turn and it’s like holy shit! This is not the movie I was expecting to see…

I liked this too:

Players invariably come up with stories about what they did in games. They’re never describing a cut scene. I categorise these as Unintentional, Subversive and Expressive.

An older article about Will Wright, which I found in a spelunking expedition, appeared in The New Yorker.
