It's just the fact that he's got this great reputation and he's media-mad. He did some impressive work in the past at Bullfrog and he's one of the insiders at the top that does show his opinion towards the industry. As you might have understood, Black & White was deffinetly the best game I saw during the ECTS and no games looked impressive anymore after seeing B&W. I must correct you on the Ego as well. One of my friends knows him rather well and he told as well that this man has the ego of a king, but when we met him, he wasn't this way at al. He came into a pub to go to the toilet, we asked him to join us for a drink, and we all thought he would take off. It even looked like he was going to take off. But he didn't, instead, he joined us and we had a great chat. He didn't have much time so he invited us over the next day to come to his hotel. This does not sound like a man with a giant ego to me. He invited about 10 strangers he'd never saw before! Then when he showed us the game, he did say how good he liked it, but he wasn't actually bragging about it. I think this is a guy we can learn something of, and with me there are a lot others who agree I suppose. DEnnis..
