Summary: Will Wright, Sid Meier, Shigeru Miyamoto… we all know the names. But how do today’s top designers always stay ahead of the game? Season 2 continues as we take a closer look at the qualities that define today’s most celebrated talents, and what it takes to make a hit in 2009. Join us as we discover how even living legends have had to adapt to keep pace with the constantly evolving game industry – and what changes these radical shifts herald for the entire field. Plus, how to score a job in game design, and whether or not pros still have a place in the age of user-generated content: All yours today, on Players Only!

I'd say he's about 44 years old...

So Lorne is out of story telling and into creating tools to create our own experiences? I really wonder how that's going to work out.

Saw this on Kotaku, but will direct you to the site directly:

Second part of these interviews, and Lorne got a lot more to say in this part.

They even put him first!

Yeah, Lorne should cut off all ties to the outside world while working solidly on Citizen Siege. Especially these interviews he gets paid to do during a time when he's got no income from games or films. What a waste.

You think he actually got paid for this?
It's not like it's a conference or something like that

He could have done. People get paid for contributing interviews to documentaries.
