Rude, I really like the post you wrote about Eno.

The most recent 8-4 Play podcast (2h6m in) had some cool things to say about him at the end of their most recent episode (a few of them actually knew Eno).

They told the story about how he switched the gold-master ROMs for one of his games because the publisher told him to censor a scene. He submitted the version without the scene for gold master certification, then replaced it with with the un-censored version after it was approved!

He wrote a book (for his son?) about the nuclear power issue, and it's complexity.

Renovated a hot spring in (much poorer) northern Japan under a pseudonym.

He had this philosophy where you should totally change what you're doing every few years.


Sometimes I wonder if all the attention I give to video games is worth-while. Are making and playing games just distracting us from being great humans? I think Eno was a great dude, and it makes me feel a little more okay with being so into this stuff.
