I met Nolan Bushnell btw

Game talk
6 Comments

Around New Year’s. And this blog post over here has the story, sort of. I didn’t blog it because, well, it was a party, a social event thing. But since that blog describes the whole thing, there you go. My daughter makes a cameo appearance too (she would be the girl asking about DS wireless).

Alas, I was too busy playing guitar to stop and play Blokus with Nolan Bushnell. In fact, I don’t think he knows that I am in games at all, because all I did while he was there was lead the singalong!

He did, however, say that my playing “The Rainbow Connection” was “good stuff, good stuff.”

  1. In fact, I don’t think he knows that I am in games at all, because all I did while he was there was lead the singalong!

    Oh, if he doesn’t know, he’ll know. 😉

  3. Don’t worry, Raph… I spent some time prepping Nolan with lots of “Why Raph is great” memes, just in case you guys started talking about game-related stuff. 🙂 I kept finding myself torn between two thoughts; a. We stand on the shoulders of giants like Nolan, and b. my 12-year old is kicking Nolan’s butt at Blokus. No shame in the latter of course, since my office still talks about the last years party where your 8 year old wiped the floor with my IT guys. I guess we’re all eclipsed by younger generation who have the advantage on us by starting where we left off.

    Btw; your Rainbow Connection rendition was awesome.

  4. My wife and I spent a good chunk of a lovely dinner at the Ahwahnee trying to identify one tune played on the piano there. It was, of course, “The Rainbow Connection”.
