At the Pittsburgh Gaming Expo I grabbed a camera and started asking people a question that had nothing to do with video games.
Who or what inspires you?
Simple question. Turned out not to be simple at all.
Neo Ness talked about his mom — a savage who refused to let him win at anything. John Riggs talked about a father who played fiddle on street corners in Hawaii until his last days. John Hancock listed Mr. Rogers, Jalen Hurts, and Mother Teresa in the same breath and meant every word. And then Steven Haywood started talking about his kids and the whole thing stopped being a YouTube video for a minute.
I finished it standing in front of the art building at Bowling Green State University — where I went to school — talking about you. The viewers. Because that part is true.
No games in this one. Just people.
