I've always enjoyed Egoraptor, Have you seen his Game Grumps videos? www.youtube.com/user/gamegrumps I think. They play video games and occasionally he goes in depth on some design ideas which is fun.
Solving problems with good games design is so so so so so important IMO.
One of my regular re-watches of that video actually prompted an entire redesign of the first level you play in Desktop Dungeons. It's a lot better now.

Awesome thoughts to keep in mind that what went into the first 5 minutes of a game is SO important :)
