It is about his gaming projects mostly. Good stuff.

I just thought the same thing. LOL He reminds me of my uncle to tell you the truth. I guess he really is my "Uncle Orsen."

I always thought of his voice as sounding a lot lot like my dad's. LOL...weird.

I never like the Civ. games, I don't like the cartoonish look and all that. I like direct control of scale troops, like in Age of Empires, except with AoE your civilizations depend on the ability to attack or defend your opponents and very little chance for diplomacy.

An Alvin Maker graphic novel! Sweet! I can't wait.

I was never a big fan of the Civ games either, I LOVE RTS games though (Command & Conquer being my favourites, but the Age of Empire games are fantastic as well)

I prefer the turn based strat games like Civilization and Age of Wonders over stuff like RTS games. Most RTS' are just a race to see who can collect the most resources and then build the largest force first. They get old real quick.

I also like turn based strategy over RTS.

Anyway, that was a cool interview. Even though I knew that's what he sounded like. ^_^ (Since I've watched another interview of him before...heh.)

Wow! FINALLY! I know how he sounds like! Now I don't have to use my Graff voice when imagining him speak. He sounds like a person I can be friends with since we both love games.

I like turn based and real time strategy games. That why I play Rome: Total War

I prefer RTS games to a degree especially since its a better multiplayer enviroment. However Civ2-3 I liked to play.

I would hope that you enjoyed playing Civ2-3 if you are who I think you are!

He's not -- his screen name is blatantly deceptive.

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
count is now up to 8, of people who thought I was Sid Meier.

Who is Sid Meier?

(dodges bricks)

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
*thows the bricks with glee*

Posted by Peter Howell (Member # 8072) on :
 
*throws a second brick* Next thing, he'll be asking who John Carmack or Will Wright is!

Posted by JakeW (Member # 7888) on :
 
Well if he doesn't know Sid Meier, John Carmack, or Will Wright, what about Yuji Naka?.... and no... it's unthinkable... he MUST know who Shigeru Miyamoto is, right??!!?
 

---

Posted by Sid Meier (Member # 6965) on :
 
Indeed, I saw Mr Miyamoto he's 1337.

Posted by Rackham (Member # 8127) on :

I rode in a car with him and Kristine once. I was in the back and not wearing my seat belt. When he found this out, he said that if I didn't buckle up right now, he was going to have to pull this car over and wait until I did.
