Kyle Gabler and Kyle Gray are awesome. Of interest to HC, Gabler went the indie route, while Gray stayed inside EA but maneuvered politically to control his own indie-sized team. I help organize the Independent Games Summit every year at the Game Developer's Conference; last year we had them do a "A Tale of Two Kyles" talk. The conference wasn't recording video, sadly, but there are some writeups available. One is here: http://www.gamedev.net/columns/events/gdc2008/article.asp?id...
2D Boy is speaking at this year's IGS with a numbers-focused talk, sharing the success of World of Goo from a business standpoint.
