I got to spend 20 minutes talking to ed boon today and i was like a giggly schoolgirl. so it got me thinking, who are your gaming heroes and what would you ask them if you had chance to speak to them?

Howd U manage that?? Boon is a legend.

I suppose Miyamoto or David Perry would have me giggling aswell

Anyone who decides to work in the games industry.

The vast majority will be overworked, underpaid and spend their time working on unambitious titles with crazy deadlines for feckless publishers. On top of that treated like they're lazy, shiftless greedy shysters by the spoilt children that constitute the majority of 'gamers'.

So here's to those crazy bastards that forsake money and health so that people have something to complain about on the internet!

On the plus side the average time someone spends in the games industry is about five years at which point I can only assume they finally have had enough of the bullshit and getting a job that sucks slightly less.

i met jade redmond a while back at an event

i didnt know who she was, and paid her little heed because she was a girl :P

Jade Raymond. Goddam, she's gorgeous!!! What could possibly have been more attention-grabbing than her?:p

Miyamoto probably. Don't think it would be a very interesting conversation: "I love your games." "Ok, thanks." The end. Not even sure if he speaks Engrish.
