Questions
Rdeacon: With the current state of game studios, do you feel Sony would be better of just killing game exclusives and focus on selling titles and less on consoles that make little to no profit?
Primefan: What are your opinions on things like Comic-Con and if you had the chance would you go?
Princess_Megan: You are offered a million dollars, but to claim it you must enter the last video game you played, and stay there for a year. How screwed are you?
Mansocks: Favorite Sierra game? And why is it Quest for Glory 1? (Cliff: Outpost, Space Quest, King’s Quest 4)
