BTW, Ellison has no qualms about letting people know what he thinks of video games in general, but he's definitely a collector like us. Check out his comic book collection here. I can't remember if it's shown in this video or elsewhere, but he also started hoarding type writers and ribbons back in the 90s!
Call me pessimistic but I didn't think most people would even know who he was today. But thanks for sharing the interview, I love the end when they start asking him random cultural questions he just goes off on these highly opinionated rants.

When he mentioned wanting to make an unwinable game it reminded me of Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. Another older point and click I really enjoyed. The player travels back in time to affect change on board the Titanic, however the better you do in the game the worst the impact is on history.
