Games are for one thing and one thing only, to pwn noobs!

That man speaks words of awesome. I've always wondered why there aren't AAA educational games that have great gameplay but teach kids stuff as well.
No doubt Will Wright, the master of Carebears, will make it happen.

" When Will Wright talks, you shut your filthy little fucking mouth and listen up, god dammit! "

" Will Wright for President of the World. "

There are very view people I seriously want to constantly listen to all day.  Will Wright is one of those few people.

This is the first time I've ever heard will wright talk.
...
It sounds like he really just repeated what's been a cultural phenomenon to "make education fun for the kids!" (I won't use again because education has rarely been fun ever since spartan training) thing and tacked video games into it.

i like him, sounds like a old teacher i had in uni!

Paul Barnett and Will Wright are two of what I consider the best PR you can have, Paul makes me laugh and gets me enthusiastic about anything he is into. Will Wright on the other hand is a bloody Linguistic Wordsmith, I can sit for hours just listening to how he describes things, he bleeds charisma faster than an Emo bleeds blood.

I hold Molyneux, Bleszinski and Carmack higher when it comes to listening to a man talk. But yea. Man, Will Wright. I can listen to that dude forever. In fact, this interview will probably make me late for work now... arr..

Will Wright is the antithesis of James Cameron.  If Will Wright talked to me about Avatar for two and a half hours, I would listen.

He's obviously alluding to Sim City here, but really, Theme Park is the perfect example of what he's talking about.

Motivation over education. I never really thought about learning that way. I like it.

Id like to know whats your specific beef with Florida tax law as opposed to every other state? Too high property taxes?

I've been trying to say the same thing to people about sci-fi to explain why it's so interesting, but most people still just look at sci-fi as space and aliens when it's really just a way to talk about very real things in a different setting. It's just hard for people who have made up their mind already. Same with video games. You tell people you play video games and they look at you as if you are a stupid kid (at least if they are over 35)

He knows what he's talking about.

This was voiced over like it was being presented to a bunch of kids in a class room during a "News for Students" segment or something. Ugh.

"You tell people you play video games and they look at you as if you are a stupid kid (at least if they are over 35) "

" Will Wright speaks the truth, interactive software is a powerful tool for learning and the fact its so underused for such things is down right crazy.Imagine if you could go to school and instead of having a teacher yell at you and demand you write a 3000 word essay you instead spend your time playing in a virtual world where you are constantly being taught new things.I want to see a company make a game that can be classed as a documentary or a history lesson, their is no reason these kinds of games couldn't be made without still being fun.  And that's the key to education, making it enjoyable.
