Wonderful chat with the engaging Maclaine Diemer on the subject of integrating cultural / folk elements from a tradition distant from one's own (in this case, his use of Korean traditional music in GUILD WARS 2). It was a fabulous chat and I was high as a kite with excitement, as we recorded moments after his GDC talk had ended which was absolutely wonderful.
