Rich Rodriguez’s Computer

Rich is the man. He hardcore represents video game culture without hesitation. It's cool. It's powerful. It's more profitable than the movie industry. It's also incredibly dorky. The game Little Big Planet is not the first game to introduce user content. The Tony Hawk series has allowed users to create their own skate parks, decade before Little Big Planet. I don't even know what the first game was that introduced user content, but Tony Hawk was surely mine. Also, the introduction of games like Scribblenauts is astounding. Developers used to have complete linear control of a game. Now they are letting their users go all free-form. Awesome.

  1. Agreed, Rich is the man. AND he made me feel slightly competent in the gaming sphere during his talk so he is officially awesome. I seriously have a hard time getting my head around gaming (casual I get, hardcore not so much) but he positioned it in a way I think everyone could at least be fascinated by, if not relate to.
