I, fortunately, am far too drunk to care about irritating music. In any event, gamespot must be forgiven for this, as they totally made up for it by thinking to ask Will Wright what his favorite swear word was. Now that’s news.

yutt: I’ve had good friends that I totally disagreed politically with, and in the end we just decided never to talk politics together. Will Wright’s only given money to a candidate, he hasn’t gone out and told his fans to vote for the guy, so personally I’ve decided to just let it go. He isn’t forcing his political view on anyone, he just gave some money to some guy. Who knows, they could’ve been childhood buds and he just had to support a friend, it doesn’t mean he even agrees with him.

Anyway, my thoughts on this video. The audio didn’t bother me too much, the music didn’t add anything sure but at least on my setup it didn’t cover up the dialogue at all.

It didn’t move me though. It’s basically celebrity worship, and indeed I’m normally enough of a fan of Will Wright to enjoy this, but I’ve seen better. No slide presentations, no cybernetic apparatus bolted onto his shoulder, no Spore talk. I’m too spoiled to enjoy it just because Will Wright mutters ‘fuck’.

Excellent interview. That’s the kind of developer we should aspire to as opposed to say, someone who wants to make us his bitch.

Carebears are lovely, but not as much as Will Wright <3

I have to agree; it boggles my mind that someone with such a breadth and depth of knowledge, and clear intelligent and insight on top of that, would support to Giuliani. :/

As an audio engineer, I feel much better now to see non-audio engineers also react to the horrible aural presentation going on.

Unless you all are audio engineers.

Great idea with some music at the text segments. Not so great to make the viewer really try hard to listen to what he actually says over crap-techno.

Carebears + artificial intelligence = a whole lot of holy crap.

Nice interview!

That man is so incredibly lovable!
Almost makes me forget that excruciating music (Although it gets less annoying after a while).
Something to add to your list off stuff to do before you die:
- Hug Will Wright

“Russian Science Minute”

Or in fact, Russian Space Minute. Damn you, time-limited edit function!

Read the comments first, didn’t think the music in the background could be THAT distracting. Pressed play, changed my mind. Wtf gamespot?

Also, maybe I’m just a big ninny, but I can’t help but be reminded of the fact that he donated to and was going to vote for Giuliani. My Will Wright Koolaid will forever have an unpleasant aftertaste.
