“Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.”

We misjudge anybody who’s different from us and the Jews diverge from our type, ethnically and religiously. That’s their chief offense, but there are particular causes.

Robots… I think that is a hot topic.

To be honest, I look at my Pinball program and feel that it is old stuff. I could do much better.

It always helps to be a good programmer. It is important to like computers and to be able to think of things people would want to do with their computers.

Everything is getting bigger. The way to go now is to program in a little more sophistication.

Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.

I think a craft becomes an art form when the space of possible solutions becomes so huge that engineering can’t carry you through.

The program should know if someone is at the keyboard or joystick or if it is just sitting there idle. It should know if someone is proficient in its use or a novice.

The Apple has the fewest bells and whistles. It has simple sound and few graphics special effects. In a way, that is a weakness because markets for the other machines are getting bigger.

When I am starting a new game, I have to program it for the Apple, because I want to get all of the markets.

I have a really powerful urge to see things work.

I’m a great coder. But I am not pushing that so much anymore because there are thousands of great coders.

A quiet personality sure isn’t what you need to attract attention.

To me, baseball is not a game, but a religion.

Have you ever seen a demonstrable example of equality in your entire life? Can it be glimpsed in any dog show or classroom? In any ping pong game or chess match? Of course not. It is a philosophical abstraction, something nowhere to be found in nature.

I think for kids it’s the most important part of the game. You have to be able to skate forward and backward, stop and start, go from side to side. Those are the basics of the game.

Basketball is a full court game, so every drill must be done full court.

You need players that stand for emotion in football. Football today is a game for television.

You are never going to be driven anywhere worthwhile, but you sure as hell drive yourself to a lot of great places. It is up to you to drive yourself there.

Oh, I’m nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading, and I’m nerdy about board games.

It is nevertheless a game of considerable passion, either of the explosive type, or that which burns inwardly and sears the soul.
