I wanted to watch this video to be inspired, but his comment on game design not paying the bills is the opposite. So ill just use that as fuel to make games play the bills for me.

I really enjoy Matt's description of the making of Pandemic. Excellent points on interaction design as well. If you haven't yet played his board game Pandemic, then you are missing out on a great game!
