The power up isn't 'cause I think he's cute, more that he seems like a nice guy who's heading up a really, really successful and respected company. Though I don't have any experience with the guy at all, I have a huge amount of respect for him.

He's not NOT cute. ;)

One of his best comments is this: "We're going through what every other entertainment industry has gone through, and that's being the temporary scapegoat for society's ills."

It seems like every generation has a new thing it blames. The newest music is always evil and corrupting kids, comic books, radio, tv, dance, movies, and games... It's like there's always a faction of people who think that the only way to live is trapped in a box.

I'm glad that well-spoken people like him exist because they give games a better name, and he's willing to stand up for it. And if you examine the list of games he's been responsible for, they certainly show that games aren't all violence, but engaging, fun, sophisticated diversions.
