I like to think I'm pretty good at what I do.

I recognize that I possess a very special intellect, but at the same time, I recognize that I'm lacking in a lot of areas. But being well-rounded is greatly overrated.

The Xbox 360 is the first console that I've ever worked with that actually has development tools that are better for games than what we've had on PC.

An interesting question: is it easier to motivate a learned individual that never does anything, or educate an ignorant individual that actually produces things?

At its best, entertainment is going to be a subjective thing that can't win for everyone, while at worst, a particular game just becomes a random symbol for petty tribal behavior.

You can prematurely optimize maintainability, flexibility, security, and robustness just like you can performance.

It's nice to have a game that sells a million copies.
