Game Design Lectures by Jonathan Blow

"If our medium is powerful, we should be have the capability to do things that we should be ashamed of, and then make the choice about whether we are going to do them or not."
-Jonathan Blow

I found these lectures by indy game developer Jonathan Blow fascinating, engaging and applicable to mediums other then video games:

• Programming is Easy; Production is Harder; Design is Hardest.
• Programming, Design, and ‘Art’
• Design Reboot (the above quote is from this one)
  
• Indie Prototyping (.mov) (Why questions over How questions in game design)
• Two video lectures on game design
• Interview with Jonathan at the Indy Game Dev. Podcast

The game he's been working on for at least 4 years, Braid, is something I'm looking forward to.
