When the Augustus videos on YouTube came out, were you intentionally taking advantage of the fact that there have been approximately zero photos of you since the late '90s? Is this something you planned?!

By the way, those videos are great, and my sister thought it was hilarious when I told her people in the comments were saying "Is this real? I think this is Robyn Miller in a wig..."

Riven ends in the way I think of as the "full circle phenomenon"; you end at the place you began, but this time the place has changed dramatically. It seems like that same idea was re-used in Uru and several other games. I don't have a specific question, but I'd just like to hear your thoughts on that.

Hi, thanks for making Myst and Riven, I'm a big fan! I'm curious, what were some of your musical influences behind the soundtrack for Riven?

Do stories pop into your head without effort? I mean, will you be sitting down and a story will come to you, or does it take a real concentrated effort? If the former, are these stories ever part of an existing work you have (e.g. Myst)? I'd be curious as to what those are!

How did you get involved in such a wide variety of art (music, 3D, film, photography, writing, drawing)? You seem to be very talented in all the "realms", do you have formal training in all of them?
