I agree, what a complete dick he doesn't even care what so ever. I don't think he realizes how important this man is. If you don't fucking who who he is, don't sit there and act like a complete douche about it.

I know right? He's got the attitude of "GAWD! You nerds have to talk about that programming crap... Oh look! A video game that's sooooo much cooler than those lame geeks!"

I don't think everyone should be into game programming, I just think that all "gamers" should have respect for people like him, and not make fun of it. Otherwise video games wouldn't exist at all.

Yeah that guy on the right is a complete dick. He obviously has no idea of how important he was even though the guy on the left quite clearly explained it. Ignorance is bliss :nono:
