This is a video of a speech by game designer Jesse Schell called “Big Brother, Video Game Psychology & Obedient Humans living inside Skinner Boxes,” from the DICE 2010 gaming conference, and it’s awesome, scary, and awesomely scary. This guy is throwing off skiffy story ideas the way congress throws off wasteful spending.
Evidently Bruce has the whole thing up on his blog. I’m going to see if I can check out the rest of his talk when I get a chance.
Hat tip: Fark.
