Inside this link Ron Gilbert, the creator of Monkey Island, gives a fantastic, 45 minute long interview about just about everything, including, but not limited to, game development, the future of game design, independent game developers, "The Secret" of Monkey Island, Pirates of the Carribean, movies, Animal Crossing, etc, etc.
Its really good, you should listen.
:D
Wait, Animal Crossing? I didn't see that in the text... :P *is too lazy to listen to audio right now* :P
Its seems that there is another interview! This one is more dial-up friendly.
