I once shared a few emails with Richard. He was my childhood hero, since "Ultima IV & V" were SUPER huge influences on me. I hope he really likes "Diamond Dragons". :) He might find it all... quite illuminating.

[@mjw555]

Is this the Ultima guy?

[@bimsklaus9271]

yes (hope i could reply in time)

[@yugen]

yes. edit: damnit, beaten by 1 year.

[@jerkchickenblog]

yeah, used to be lol

[@garion333]

The dude spent $30 mil to go to space, he's far from broke.

[@NinjaRunningWild]

NCSoft paid for it via lawsuit.

[@Shyguyexplores]

Richard Garriott is a cool dude. I hope he has children. we need more people in the world like him. :)

[@richard12347123]

+Rockguitarnow yep we do ;D

[@Shyguyexplores]

Richard Sigamani Hmm, what do you mean "yep we do?"

[@richard12347123]

lol. . . i was just agreeing with the description that was on the video . . . ' we need more people like him'

[@jerkchickenblog]

nah we really dont' need any more reactionary libertarians. the u.s. is full of them and they're too childish to see the huge fallacious hole in their entire ideology.

He is a multimillionaire. Wikipedia notes in 2008 he reported spent $30 million to fly to the International Space Station. In 2010 he won a $28 million lawsuit against a partner game company.

Lord British, I Salute You!

[@scorpwnok766]

immediately knew we'd be seeing just as much of Crecente in this video as Garriott or the house

[@shmick4203]

Wow, very interesting. The conversations you could have with him....

[@jerkchickenblog]

he's not really that interesting. he's like a robot and tells the same stories in the same way constantly. that goes for his jokes, his asides, his anecdotes etc. he hears something once, then repeats it incessantly. i can imagine it drives the people near him nuts, everything is a 'routine' he re-runs.

[@AshleyDukes]

Interesting guy, not sure about the ponytail though.

[@jerkchickenblog]

nah not interesting either really. 'interesting' for houston i guess

[@WilfredGodfrey]

Incredibly fascinating, thanks guys

[@paulmcnamara2523]

I thought he was almost broke, where did he get all this money? It sure wasn't from Tabula Rasa.

[@jerkchickenblog]

he went to court against ncsoft for how they forced him out and lied about how it went down... so he got 28 million from them, making his flight to space almost free for him.

[@ianoid]

Polygon is like NPR for gamers

[@blazej6667]

Cosmic Lord British !!!!! love from France

[@yankumar5280]

thanks for sharing Polygon

[@tensaibr]

Isn't he married? I don't see a single hint that anyone else but him, is living in that house XD

[@jerkchickenblog]

he's a serial bachelor. i dont' even know if he can sire an heir. he dates a lot of fans and nerd girls much younger than him.

[@nirke_]

Not too fond of the video filter. Makes it look dull.

[@jerkchickenblog]

it IS dull

[@JDGG1993]

How much money does this guy have?!

[@jerkchickenblog]

more than you and me but not in the 100 millions yet.
