Why I want to meet Warren Spector

Me too (seen him present at GDC) and I loved his presentations. He has a great way of getting right at the real issue.

How I met Richard Allen Garriott

At the 2006 GDC, I turned a corner and there he was. I stopped, said “Hello” and exchanged business cards.

He said, “I didn’t know there were any game development companies in Alaska.”

I get the impression that he’s just an all around real person who doesn’t care what other people think. A poet and a prophet who picks me up when I’m feeling blue.

Why I want to meet John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

Because his name is my name too.
