I caught a clip of Jonathan Blow on CBS This Morning today

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7417988n

Blow is very opinionated about game development including WoW's "reward for suffering" system as he calls it (he should probably be reminded they didn't invent this).

He's a known speaker at the GDC (something I had to miss this year due to a planned trip to Hawaii, darnit), believing that gaming should stimulate and challenge intellectually- something we've been decrying for years.

He has a platformer jumpan game finished called Braid, and he's currently amping it up a knotch with a AAA looking title called Witness.

Braid was awesome. Intellectually stimulating, unique, and challenging. I am sure his next project will be worth checking out.
