In a Will Wright Minute...

MattKeil · (09-08-2008, 11:51 PM)

I haven't seen these mentioned, at least not in a form that the search function can find, so I thought I'd throw up some links to them. Basically, Will Wright talks for about a minute about anything he wants to talk about.

Russian Space Station
2001
Batman
Care Bears
Russian Breakfast
Beverly Hillbillies
Ants

If you enjoy this, you should try to catch one of Wright's one-off talks he does sometimes where he just talks for like an hour about all the random stuff he's researched and figured out. It's fascinating and he's pretty funny. Certainly the only person I've heard talk who managed to tie bird-eating spiders, the Russian space program, and Godzilla together into a coherent speech.

I saw the Care Bears one on TV... I watched it like 20 times in a row, I thought it was so damn good. :)

That theme song is made of pure magic.

I should have been specific. I meant to ask if you've ever attended a speech of his. Will Wright loves interjecting seemingly random topics (and his thoughts on them) while discussing his games. Those familiar with Will Wright are also quite familiar with his intense fascination with the Russian Space Program.

His speech on "worlds" at the GDC Spore party back in February was great... (be warned, it's substantially longer than a minute)

Brilliant stuff... he really could have a career as a stand up comedian.

Russian food? 2001? Space stations? Suddenly I am extremely gay for Will Wright.

I'm no Batman expert, but I think he was wrong about Batman.
