Mark Rosewater Interview - Worlds 2011

[dev93l]

Love to read MaRo's articles. Hate hearing MaRo talk...

[BonScott21]

13:29 Did MaRo just drop an F-bomb?

[buckeye10smith]

wow, just came from the aaron forsythe interview and sythe's voice is 100x more pleasant than this guy's . . . its been a minute. I can't take this anymore.

[onlainari]

You can do what most people do and just pause it on the questions.

[Jazza8888]

We gotta nail werewolves if we nail werewolves I felt like everything would come together.

[magmarex1]

@Jazza8888 ewwww XD

[ICommentedI]

you should be FAFRAID OF WEREWOLVES

[Bmurls]

mirrans had feast and famine....that was the clear winner.

[TehFoamy]

I watched Mark play that game against the kid who said, "What are you talking about?"

It's easy to tell that Mark's a family man. He helped the kid through many of his decisions (when the kid's dad wasn't making his moves for him), and he was friendly throughout the whole thing.

He was about to win, until the kid kicked an Urza's Rage.

[ModeLTU]

Ben Stark disagrees heh. I remember someone from CFB saying that he doesn't want any pictures and would prefer if cards were named by numbers lol

[FattyMcElbows]

I had to stop watching once you both started praising Innistrad . . . I haven't hated a set this much since Odyssey.

[Denetine]

Congrats on your 500th video!

[Sacrificial24]

Well I learned something; Mark Rosewater has a god-echo

[MrBeardogs]

I thought I saw a puttycat!

[inSketchful]

Turn on the "Transcribe Audio" function from the "cc" menu...

frickin hilarious!

[ki1ng]

@inSketchful Fucking this!!!

[defenestrator12]

I absolutely LOVE MaRo - total bromance - and this interview is a great way to experience his personality, intellect and passion!! Thanks Evan (and Mark too, of course!)

[blackcat19]

My god, the audio in this video is fucking TERRIBLE!

D:

[WedgeHedges]

I remember when the magic storyline used to be good...

[LotanRaz]

i cant hear...

[Air83]

Mark is such a funny guy

[thebgbb]

Australian minotaurs. Pure genius.

Yes, Homelands is a poor design point for the game, but a great setting for a story.

[inSketchful]

if people are managing to watch all 40 minutes of what can only be describes as an underwater robot from the future interviewing a person trying to break the words per minute world record (complete with australian minotaur impersonation at 5:51...seriously, WTF!?) , then I congratulate you and suggest you hurry to see your doctor about your profusely bleeding ears...

[weihoozie]

@inSketchful If you honestly couldn't understand Aaron or hear Evan, then I suggest you hurry to go see your doctor about you profusely lagging brain or detrimental earwax build up.

[inSketchful]

@weihoozie Aaron who?

[defenestrator12]

@inSketchful I listened to it on an iPhone on a crowded train with no video and loved it - but then English is MY native language :)

[inSketchful]

@defenestrator12 no doubt, I understood it perfectly, but Maro just speaks way to fast in an echoing room and Evan has terrible audio

[defenestrator12]

@inSketchful And were you bleeding profusely from both ears, or are you in fact a drama queen posting shite on message boards bcos the internet allows it? How about instead saying something nice to Mark and Evan and then noting that, "by the way, the room was a little too echoey, maybe you can work on that next time." You know, be polite and respectful online, just like you would be face-to-face?

[davidtres28]

I have to say I had the pleasure of meeting him in person and playing a group game with him once. Incredibly funny and captures what playing magic is all about: Fun.

[MoonPies27]

I love listening to Mark in these interviews. He always seems so enthusiastic about his job.

[emangamer1]

PINKEY PIE ROSEWATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chadwastaken]

this I like.

[signofthehammer]

echo echo

[RobotReg]

I swore he was saying, "Gay Zombies! Gay Zombies!" at first

[brokenphonix]

Hello reverb

[VunterSlaush]

"Okay, I said to my team: 'here is our goal: we are gonna do a whore'." 22:57

[VunterSlaush]

"Guys, there's a lot of ppl making money selling whore. Gimme a shot, lemme do whore." 22:42

[MrKingkaizer]

Is the sound screwed up, or is it just me?



[sarroth]

I think R&D needs to take the idea of a color being able to do something its way, that MaRo uses to justify the fight mechanic in Green (which I'm all for, by the way), and extend it to artifact/enchantment destruction in Black and Red. Black should be able to sacrifice life, creatures, etc. to put some hate on your stuff, and Red should either say no one can have it and blow up the world (e.g., Akroma's Vengance in Red) or have a global Aura Barbs effect.

[Svetlio1337]

@sarroth Red actually has the ability to blow everything up - Jokulhaups, Obliterate,Devastation + all creature removal(Blasphemous Act like)

[DarkTenka]

@Svetlio1337 Mistakes of the past influence todays standard formats ... with the exception of Dismember ...

[Exart]

@DarkTenka None of the cards he mentioned are mistakes, they destroy things Red can destroy.

[AlbertsFlasher]

jeeze, hang up a blanket or something next time, the echo is terrible in these videos!

[billyjay]

i want to go to a mark rosewater party

[kustomkure]

soul of Magic right there

[irspartaaaa]

Man he is soo excitable LOL

[boneclub24]

As an ex-Yugioh player, I must say that that game really captured the essence of zombies rather well.

[Tormentofprophecy]

<3 Mark ^^

[TempestDacine]

I love these interviews, Thanks so much magicshow!

[JamesAnderyourstruly]

next time leave more than 3 seconds so we can read the question

[boneclub24]

@JamesAnderyourstruly just pause it lol

[FuckingFuckersFuck]

@JamesAnderyourstruly Next time pause the video and take as much time as you need

[trbjrnjnssn]

@JamesAnderyourstruly Or you could click on those two stripes "||" that show up on the same "play" button,

[xtxoxpxd]

@trbjrnjnssn or the person who created the video can edit it in such a way that the audience can simply watch it. crazy, i know.

[Strakeflames]

@JamesAnderyourstruly you realize you can pause, right?

[shadowmasteraiden]

@JamesAnderyourstruly Are you six years old so you can't read them fast enough?

[brasswirebrush]

Great interview. I could listen to Rosewater tell stories all day long about game design and creativity and this is some of his best.

[fireworks1792]

he can't remember dismember but remembers goblin mime??? the fu......

[Waltztheplank]

He has the worst voice ever.

[kendawgl]

@MaliciousIntent83 Why? The good guys always win. When was the last time the Phyrexians won? That's a dumb reason to stop buying cards

[ArixOdragc]

@kendawgl I beg to differ. Look over past blocks and tell me, when was the last time we had a "good" ending? When the plane-devouring monstrosities were unleashed on the multiverse? When the evil dragon planeswalker succeeded in harvesting a large amount of power, essentially destroying five planes in the process? If you ask me, quite the opposite is true - it's about time we had a good ending for a change.

Buuut that's just one reason New Phyrexia is pretty much the most fail set ever.

[papercutpictures]

500 vids, congrats Evan!

[SoulReaverDan]

In the future, can you ask the questions out loud? I usually have this running in the background to listen to it, but then I have to go back and rewind to figure out what the actual question is.

[PZenki]

Guys, remember, MaRo cares how you feel!

[MATTierial]

Fantastic interview Evan! Mark is such a cool guy :D

[manudosde]

Awesome interview, but I would love to hear about the OP changes. Maybe MaRo wasn't the most indicated person for that, but still.

[MaliciousIntent83]

I'm still pissed that phyrexia won. That was such a poor decision, once they announced it I stopped buying new cards. Innistrad is neat however.

[tigertamer14]

wow, the end is actually brilliant!

[thegeni3]

omigod, the audio is annoying

[kagegakureproduction]

since innistrad: blue is now white, white is now blue, black is now green, and green is now black...soooo red deck wins?

[reddyneddy]

@kagegakureproduction Mark Rosewater treats the colour pie like the film American Pie

[DarkTenka]

@kagegakureproduction haha .. i see what you did there...

[MTGasm]

@kagegakureproduction well said.

[MATTierial]

If Mark gave the "State of the Union" address... I'd listen to it XD

[manudosde]

Rosewater wanted to make Gothic Whore, ok.

[ArcaneWarrior69]

Myr from future sight = Sarcomite Myr

[SnigernDK]

i <3 Mark Rosewater, he has a cool way of seeing things.

[grayseeroly]

This man does not drink coffee...

[tgva8889]

Considering that format was a bit broken without Affinity, it may not have been so terrible...

[ItsOopsy]

Sspoiler alert! xD This guy cracks me up. Thanks Evan! Moar interviews!

[Stoiber88]

Kinda sounds like a "Whore Set" to me.

[avo420turbo]

he is a designer...

[KilliaK]

Like this!

Epic Evan loading up Epic Vids.

Thank you XD.

[DakotaDonaldClark]

FORTY MINUTE MAGIC SHOW!!!

[panicatthediscosuck]

Mark Rosewater is too... flamboyant.

[Predator9710]

@panicatthediscosuck I thought I was the only one who noticed :|

[RJElite]

40 minutes? He'd better explain some shit like DFC's and Invisible stalker.
