I love finding things that make you go, ‘Oh! I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t think about doing that. I don’t think I would go into that space, but actually, every decision you’ve made makes me nod and go that’s obvious.’ And if ever you meet something that makes you go that is obvious, than it is a piece of wonderful thinking. Wonderful thinking makes you go, ‘Well, I could have come up with that.’
-Paul Barnett, Creative Director of Bioware Mythic, on the Giant Bombcast extolling the simple genius behind Namco’s Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

You have a bazooka, why don’t you blow some shit up? Stop thinking Prague police and start thinking Sony PlayStation!

-Ira Glass, radio host of NPR’s This American Life
Design is [quite simply] a plan for action.
-Brian Collins, designer/teacher/problem maker
3-D is a distracting, annoying, anti-realistic, juvenile abomination to use as an excuse for higher prices.
-via Roger Ebert’s Twitter, film critic of Ebert and Roeper at the Movies
The search engine Bing is kinda like Arby’s… you know it exists but you never eat there.
-Paul Scheer, comedian/member of MTV’s The Human Giant
