If you missed the previously mentioned appearance by Media Molecule co-founder Alex Evans at Wired’s NYC store in early December, the outlet is now showing the entirety of his presentation at Game|Life.

Evans’ talk was generally a basic overview of LittleBigPlanet and its user-focused, social platform roots (with a keen aside on using arcade game high-score boards as an early example of user-generated content) that might be old hat to die-hard fans, but the 2:30-3:10 mark is particularly notable for its highlight reel and explanation of ‘Craftworld,’ the 2D vector prototype of LittleBig‘s gameplay that the company put together to sell the game to Sony (and which will explain the origin of LBP‘s secret ‘Yellowhead’ costume).
