Since I'm writing the book, I'm disqualified from voting.
Bryan is correct though. Part of the appeal of this book is that it will encompass all players to the industry, whether they have made it by name as world record holders, game designers, or heavy-hitters that have influenced our culture. Up and coming players will be a big pull in the book, as Richie and myself will spotlight folks that you might not necessarily know as big names now, but are people to be watching in the next few years.
I know alot of KLOVers are not huge into keeping up on who set what record on a machine, so people may not have a clue who to vote for. When in doubt, just go with what you know. If all you know is Steve Wiebe, or Walter Day, or Billy Mitchell, feel free to put that. But just kind of keep in mind, these are obvious choices, and might already be in the book regardless of votes.
What Richie and I are really hoping to figure out is WHO is not quite there, but we should favor in the player bios. I know beyond Simpsons99, we've also got a few other great classic gamers here in our own midst like Steve W.
And since I've never bought one of the TwinGalaxies books of World Records, somebody help me out...
Isn't that book pretty much just shit-tons of data and numbers? With maybe a couple stories about the eightees? Just curious. Cause I'd hate to release something that has already been done before.
