Said it on FB, will say it here - that's very awesome man! Meeting the founders of the very people who inspired me in so many ways to create, write, delve into computers, etc!

Very, very cool man.

Wow. Cool!

After I played Kings Quest 4, my first graphical adventure, I decided I wanted to be a game designer like Roberta Williams. Alas, that particular childhood dream didn't come true.

It's the for the best, though. Considering how so many gamers today are ridiculously cheap and quick to bad-mouth/harass/threaten any company or individual for anything (seriously, there have been death threats sent to the families of different developers for as little as DLC), being a game developer today just isn't worth the aggravation.

I agree. It's the main reason I don't do the Bioware forums anymore.
