E3 fun and autographs

So at E3 yesterday I was on the "Creative Track" workshop series...got to go to panels...and among the distinguished guests at the panels were Peter Molyneux - the main impetus behind Bullfrog and Lionhead; Populous, Black and White, and The Movies are probably his most famous titles - Cliff Blesinski - main designer on the Unreal franchise, and the upcoming Gears of War for the 360 - which looks ****ing incredible - Tetsuya Mizuguchi - producer of and main impetus behind Space Channel 5, Rez, and Lumines - and Hideo Kojima - and if you don't know who that is and you post here you're either an imp or a spambot. And I got to hear them talk about game design, techniques, their successes and not-as-successes, and I got to ask them questions during the panel and to get autographs afterwards. Not to be too graphic or anything, but I'm thankful that the front of my pants didn't just explode all over everything and seriously damage the Convention Center...
I'm working on a page of designer autographs of people I meet during the show - I got Molyneux's, Blesinski's, and Kojima's autographs on a single page, and a separate page with Noriguchi's autograph and a sketch of something from Rez for Andrew Vestal, since that man just loved Rez to death.
Favorite quote of the panel...
Me: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Blesinksi. I've played a lot of Unreal."
Cliff Blesinski: "Dude, Mr. Blesinski is, like, my dad. Call me Cliff." (said with uncanny resemblance to sea turtle from Finding Nemo)
Me: "Buh buh blah blah okay Cliff blah blah fanboy fanboy."
(BTW, this was edited, so Derith's quote was actually a response to a far more arrogant and assholicious post...but I think it's almost funnier as it stands.
)
