• Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.

• Running a multi-million dollar business can be frustrating at times, especially when someone does something I am not happy with.

People tend to live up to what you expect of them.

I try and make humor out of the really important issues of the day, like Hot Pockets and elevators and not wanting to get out of bed.
