He was great to work with on ESO! He had a lot of lines and a lot of not normally pronounced Elder Scrolls words and he handled it like a pro. So sorry he's gone, I still watch the ESO opening video from time to time, which is my favorite ESO performance of his

Hey that was my Russian history textbook from "History of Russia I and II" back in the stone age/cold war era when I was in college. I still look into it from time to time to refresh myself on Russian/Soviet timelines and people

I have an old ipad, forever frozen in time circa 2016 - forbidden from connecting to the internet and updating - just so I can play the Pirates Ipad version, which is one of the best versions of the game

I’ve watched the All Summer Long WMTSS episode about 20 times and it still cracks me up - it’s just perfect

Interesting. Garrett County feels like West Virginia, Central Maryland feels like generic United States, and the Eastern Shore feels like a very flat Southern Virginia, in every sense of those two words. It's hard to categorize Maryland as *anything* because it is a crossroads

I gave the commencement speech at my high school just last year - what a surreal experience. I was literally on the stage where I got my diploma 38(?!?) years before. Have fun with it and savor the moment

It was an honor to do this podcast - with so much development history of the game and the studio over the years it was a joy to reminisce with Greg and Mike and Rich
