- During Dragon Con, Richard Garriott & Starr Long invited me upstairs to talk about both their old and new games, as well as space poop, the death of game consoles, low-fi graphics and the morality police. Details within!

Lord British invited you to his room. That is fucking rad.
Richard Garriot talking about crapping in space. Interview of the year, calling it now!
Amazing interview/talk. Thanks!
Very well-done interview with one of the great designers of gaming. Did not know the 'avatar' term came from the Ultima series. Or that feces had to be sucked out with a vacuum in space.
I truly admire your interview style. It has a mix of professionalism and character I don't see in most professional journalism these days. It's no wonder you were able to get an interview with Richard Garriott.
I'll have to check out Dragon-Con next year. It sounds fun, but I never went because I (incorrectly) assumed it was focused more on cosplay and less on panels and interviews like this one.
Finally, was there something going on outside of the window? Starr Long was constantly looking toward that area. I just assumed he was a fixated as I was on Richard's magnificent rat tail.
Dude, you interviewed Lord British. You have come a very long way. I just wanted to point that out.
This whole interview; YES.
Great interview!
The fact this started out with Lord British talking about pooping in a space box was hilarious. I remember there was an interview on some other site about SoTA, and they painted Garriott as a pretentious douche. 3 days ago I watched the interview with Spoony and Garriott, and it was great. He seems like a really cool dude. Although he isn't really relevant in the current gaming space due to what is popular today, he is a legend and made some really great games. Thanks for posting this interview!!
Amazing interview. I love their view on graphics in games.
You're a great interviewer George, good work!
Awesome interview. I shall now dream of space poop that refuses to leave due to lack of gravity.
This video is the epitome of why I subbed.
This is great thanks george!
I am a Garriott (Lord British) fan ... he should make another Ultima.. although the question is where would it fit in these days with the Witchers, Skyrims and Dragon Ages of this world. He's a brave man for going out into space.
George is very well prepared as an interviewer. I only know of a couple journalists in my entire country like that.
Great job!
George your an everyday hero of mine I just wanna say
Cool interview brah!
I hope they focus on aesthetics for visuals, low poly or not a good colour pallet and a few rendering tricks can make a world of difference.
It"s a pity you didn't get to finish your question to them about games on cloud (in relationship to your recent video on streaming)...we already have a class of games (MMO) that will simply "disappear" once the servers are turned off...and their new Avatar game will have exactly that issue. In twenty years, I'll still be able to load up and relive my fond memories of Ultima IV, but any online game...will be just gone...
The Dark Ghost do you forgive for shroud of the avatar too?
most people might know superbunnyhop because of the funny videos about games , but George's actual field of work is doing interviews , and i praise him for his 7th interview (so far in his channel) i can only say he did a hell of a job with this interview, and i think he eventually will get better on that field of work, sure we all can have a good time just playing good ol' gaymes,but George was "trained" as a interview man , not to bitch about games like uh.......EVERYBODY ELSE, sure it can be more entertaining than a long interview with important people that does have something to do with games ,hell his critical close ups ARE my personal cup of tea, but bottom line, these kind of videos are the vids that George's technical focus is in his description.
P.S.love the improv work with the two cameras that give a nice "WAKE UP FANS" cut every now and then, must be a pain in the ass putting two different recorded files with the same footage with a different angle perfectly side by side then atually render it as one big fucking thing. real pro work
Haha no one would have the balls to ask that question about graphics, great job!
"Pooping in space"
This what I subscribed for.
Good stuff! You had it in for them on gfx quality, eh?
Well then....that was a living legend glossing over the finer points of how to take a shit in space.....and now my day is complete
Good questions *thumbs up*
Starr Long is wearing what appears to be a medal on the right side of his jacket. Does anyone know what it is? Amazing interview btw, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
good stuff.
De-syncs for a bit around 6:50
With all the trouble of spaceflight (dis)comfort in the 21st century, how the heck did the first austronauts manage, let alone the moon landing people?
Very interesting interview, I mean the discussion about games not the space poop (though it was pretty informative too).
On the topic on consoles, I think that they'll die off too. We can already see how the xbox1 and ps4 are becoming more like PCs and less like consoles. I think that in the future there will be even less separation between the gaming systems. And let's be honest nobody wants 500$ box that does only one thing. Just like nobody wants a cell phone that is only used for phone calls only. While on that topic I think that the mobile games market has still room to grow but it will never (at least not anytime soon) overtake big screen gaming. Because the best way to consume visual and audio media is in the comfort of the home and through a big screen/VR, in a less noisy environment and with the controller type you like the most.
On the final topic: gameplay over graphics, any time!
Richard Garriott is the Dan Harmon of videogames
i wanted to hear more about richards thoughts on streaming i dont think streaming can be a thing until the entire worlds backbone cabling infrastructure is upgraded and still probably be too much lag.
I haven't been following games like Shroud or Camelot mainly because SOE already has something like EQN in the works...
Just because a TV can play CZcams doesn't mean it can play video games as well as a console.
Hm, I almost feel like this whole Cloud as the future of games thing is a red herring, and there's something else out there waiting to be discovered / break into the mainstream that'll usher in a whole new generation of super stars (eh not phones).
THERE ARE WEATHER
that rat tail
the audio is out of sync
in some parts the audio CLEARLY doesnt go with the video
ssevf Yes it is.
It's probably youtube's video encoder doing that.
Dexter Riley every time an automated system screws george over, a peice of him dies a little inside
Richard Garriott is the Santa Claus of RPGs.
I don't like his rat tail.
I hope Shroud of the Avatar is good.
I miss Ultima.
Whats a paladin?
and new generation of consoles still less powerful than my 10 y.o. pc and dragging level design back to linear rail coridors without any vertical fighting
also no physics and destruction even not on par with sacrifice
1:20 does the guy on the left have an extra set of teeth? o0
Ah, space poop logistics.
Both these guys seem a little full of themselves
frize dreed ice cream
There are weather. Lol.
What game are they making?
Shroud of the Avatar. They said so at the end of the video...
Oh, thanks, I'm not quite there yet.
dude he seriously needs to get rid of that ugly ass rat tail
It"s a pity you didn't get to finish your question to them about games on cloud (in relationship to your recent video on streaming)...we already have a class of games (MMO) that will simply "disappear" once the servers are turned off...and their new Avatar game will have exactly that issue.
