Geek Cribs AnalysisWednesday, January 16, 2008
Maybe you've already seen it, but Kotaku posted a collection of photos of the work desks and entertainment centers of famous game designers (and some other folks). To the critical eye, all sorts of things can be discerned...
- Ken Levine's a suck up! Okay, I like GWJ too. But did you know he apparently plays guitar, likes HeroClix and needs a better iPod case?
- David Jaffe likes bobbleheads, Kevin Smith, and... hrm, just who is that mini-bust of?
- It seems like someone in the house of god-game maker Sid Meyer has got the Jesus. Is that symmetry?
- Ted Price's desk is clean... Suspiciously clean. Wait! There's a loose USB cord on the floor! Whew, for a second there I thought the marketing & PR guys had his place cleaned up and artfully placed merchandise with labels showing.
- Peter Molyneux's workspace has an empty Aeron chair, empty coffee cups, and EMPTY PROMISES! You bastard! You brokes ma heart!
- Richard Garriot's included a single picture of his house, a woeful understatement of his ri-goddamn-diculous house.
- Dan Hsu likes Sandman! And he likes the Ultimates! And he has the original Weiss and Hickmann Dragonlance soft-covers! Gasp! I'll be he thinks that Ziggy's gotten too preachy too!
- I approve your keyboard, Crecente
