Marek Posted December 18, 2008 This ad is still in rotation at gamesindustry.biz: Someone should inform Intel that he's "pursuing new opportunities" now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n0wak Posted December 19, 2008 I thought it was "Sir" Richard Garriot or something? You're thinking of Branson. Also check out this Garriot related story that I saw and linked last month http://frank-segler.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-astronaut-tried-to-sue-me-really.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaff Posted December 19, 2008 he's neither a Lord nor British Also, his 'mansion' looks like a motel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soupface Posted December 19, 2008 Now, does he design haunted-houses, or is he a designer of houses who is haunted by a dark past? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted December 19, 2008 I'm so sad about that guy's mansion. If I ever get loads of money (or: loads of time when I'm retired) it's my dream to build a house that has all sorts of cool shit in it, including (but not limited to) secret underground passageways, a tower with circling stairs, a greenhouse on the roof, removable walls, trap doors, etc. etc. etc. Which is kinda what he's going for too. BUT I would make it look like an awesome French cottage/castle and let ivy grow on it and create a cool homely atmosphere inside instead of making a Mickey Mouse house made of concrete and shitty chipboard and has some plastic skulls in a cupboard or something.

syntheticgerbil Posted December 19, 2008 Sounds like you are made out to be Ludwig II and you can hide the secrets of the lost Wagner opera only for Gabriel Knight to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted December 19, 2008 Jesus, that hacker is a jerk, feeling all self-righteous for hacking a game someone has worked on for years and rightfully wants some money and credit for. I don't know Garriot, maybe he's a dick as well, but this hacker is a little snot for taking it out on Garriot and throwing around insults on his blog, while he was the one stealing and hurting. The irony is that this guy is just as sickeningly glib about his accomplishments as he accuses Garriot of being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted December 19, 2008 Also, Marek's future domain still sounds awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 19, 2008 You're thinking of Branson. Nah, it was Lord British... There's zero chance of me confusing Garriot with Branson, I think... Other sirs in the gaming world: Sir Peter Molyneux, "Sir" Geoff Grammond (as dubbed by Amiga Power), Sir... ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted December 19, 2008 Ugh, yeah, reading that blog just pissed me off. Douchebag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted December 19, 2008 Just to be clear, I was in no way endorsing that link. It was just something topical I saw a while ago. I believe the comment I left on del.icio.us was "douchebags all around". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
