Wow, is that stupid and egotistical. I don't understand how this "game" could be interesting in the slightest.

This is MY type of PC game. I prefer to have games on PC with minimal keyboard contact as I find it isn't suited brilliantly. I love games like Rollercoaster Tycoon for PC and even then it's the toying about, inventing and finding new stuff, that works well with these type of games. The game is just an excuse to be creative and imaginative. TV hasn't killed your imagination that much surely? (made me think of the Simpsons there)

As Will Wright admits it himself, it's because it's not technically a traditional "game" with rules and victory conditions; it's a toy, and believe it or not, people actually like toys.

My friend, who had never seen Will Wright before (didn't even know he was), was messing around with the menu and did this and freaked out haha. We quickly screen grabbed it and went to put it online, only to discover we were 2 days late :P

Oh, never mind. Turns out he was away receiving an award (bout time) and has a new review on Escapist which I'll save untilglorious tomorrow. Am I becoming a fanboy of Yahtzee? Will I next begin to know what the hell his games are on about? Is it really such a big leap from Wii fanboyism to Yahtzee fanboyism? Shall I create a YDF? So many questions. Answer them o great and knowledgeable English dude with the funny hat!
