I've been working with Pat Robertson on Africa debt-relief, and we disagree on virtually everything except certain very specific, inalienable rights, and the truth is that morality and patriotism come in all shapes and sizes. - George Clooney
I love Age of Empires and I play RTS games all the time, I respect what they've accomplished. - Sid Meier
I remember covering the living room floor with toy soldiers and things.. Ive been playing games a long time. - Sid Meier
Being able to work on a more constrained project now and then is rewarding in a lot of ways, and of the available small platforms, I think that the iOS platform is clearly the best. - John Carmack
Programming in the abstract sense is what I really enjoy. I enjoy lots of different areas of it... I'm taking a great deal of enjoyment writing device drivers for Linux. I could also be having a good time writing a database manager or something because there are always interesting problems. - John Carmack
Programming is not a zero-sum game. Teaching something to a fellow programmer doesn't take it away from you. I'm happy to share what I can, because I'm in it for the love of programming. - John Carmack
The core of what I do is solve problems, whether that's in graphic engine flow or rockets. I like working on things that are going to have an impact one way or the other. - John Carmack
We were happy with funding 'Rage' on our own nickel for years. We intended to do the same with 'Doom 4'. We had offers early on for 'Rage'. People offered us X million dollars. But we carried the risk, and when we finally signed a deal, it was X plus $10 million. - John Carmack
Doing everything is a lot more fun than specializing in one particular task, at least to me. - Eric Barone
When you're playing it, I want every moment to be full of joy and wonder and to bring back the kind of magic that you may have felt when you were a kid and you first played video games. - Eric Barone
I have gone on record as talking about game design as a practice, like a scientific study, or like a spiritual practice, like yoga or tai chi. And that's part of what I'm doing when I design a game, is that I'm exploring the universe in a certain way. I'm trying to understand true things about it, or to uncover things about it. - Jonathan Blow
The problem is that most people don't know how to find something that strong in game development. - Jonathan Blow
To do a really long project, that drive needs to be very deep. It needs to come from your core. - Jonathan Blow
Well, it's very personal to me, because I have that kind of personality. The same sort of thing that drives somebody to study physics for 30 years, so they can discover a new particle. Just so they can know something more about the world. I have that same personality, but I didn't end up in physics. I ended up in game design. - Jonathan Blow
What I strive to do in my own games, which you can see pretty clearly in Braid, is to respect the player as an intelligent person who can figure things out and who wants to discover things or come to understand more than they knew at the start of the game. - Jonathan Blow
I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right. - Harrison Ford
I'd love to do another 'Indiana Jones.' A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director - what's not to like? - Harrison Ford
I'm not a poster boy for Conservation International. I'm a working member of the board. - Harrison Ford
