    A bit surprised I'm the only one who's picked Ken Williams or John Romero, after all these guys played a really big role in the development of computer games.

      Editing … I don't know who they are tbh. I've always been too busy playing games to read up on who made them lol :D Back in the day I used to read a lot of gaming magazines so I know a few Amiga game developers and of course everybody with the internet knows Miyamoto, Sakaguchi, Kojima etc. Beyond that though I'm clueless.

      Editing … Ken Williams is the man behind Sierra Online, he and his wife Roberta basically invented the adventure genre. And John Romero is a legend! He's the man who created Wolfenstein and Doom! The man behind the infamous "John Romero is going to make you his bitch"-advert for Daikatana. (Which, apparently he had nothing to do with and it was just his PR guy, wasn't me honest guv).

      Editing … I wrote an email to Ken Williams once, basically telling him how Sierra was the best thing since sliced bread, and he even took the time to respond. What can I say, a true gent.

      Editing … Seriously i don't know why people like him so much. He's overbearing looking, idk that just puts me off. And sometimes the way he talks makes him sound pompous. The only good thing about him is the meme he created, other than that i don't like him that much.

      Editing … I wouldn't quite use the word "pompous," but I know what you mean. He's just charismatic. The way he presents himself, in my eyes, is kind of spacey, goofy, and easy to laugh at and laugh with. His silly charm makes him fit in really well with Iwata and Miyamoto, and with the Nintendo brand in general. Even though he's a bit clueless sometimes or doesn't always say what most suits would consider the "right" thing (e.g., asking non-3DS owners "what's wrong with you?"), I tend to not hold it against him and just giggle, "oh, /you/."

    @Ulty does have his own Youtube show and it's really good even though i don't know what he's saying. But he has made laugh really hard in some of his videos. Maybe i should make one for him.
