I think I saw you and your wife at Seattle International Airport a few years ago, around 2012. I mean, I'm pretty sure. I have a really good idea of what you look like. I didn't stop to bother you because I'm sure its old by now.

But I've always wondered, did I see Eric Idle at Seatac airport?

Hope you're well, thanks for all the laughs.

Kind of off topic, did you ever get made fun of for your first name when you where a kid? My first name is Grayson too and it was such a pain growing up.

I've yet to meet another, but I hear about them a few times a year. Also, ordering anythere where they take your name. "Jason? Drayson? Creyson?"

Haha, they've never really had a good explanation. They were just a couple of artschool proto-punk types in Los Angeles and wanted a name that was a little different (I was born in 82).

I lucked out though (and I really like my name now as an adult, but I use my wifes name for reservations), they couldn't remember exactly what my name would have been if i was girl but it would have been something like Zelda or Zemeralda.

It seems a lot of your peers and management from the id software days have kind of simmered down from what seemed like a fire back in the Quake days. The success that id created hasn't really been reproduced. Some might say everything those guys have made (since) flopped.

Porsches, Ferraris, Quakecon, etc... A AAA title hasn't really come out to change the gaming world from any of those guys back in Texas. I've always been a fan of your work, vision and compromises even with your EA partnership you're in China, which is an odd place to be (but cool!).

What do you think happened?

What's your relationship with visual designers like?

I love working with engineers and programmers. Some of my best friends were computer science majors but it's always been a challenge explaining to them the importance of design and what we now call UX.
