Cawffee Tawk With Richard Garriot

Grab a tall ice cold glass of OJ or half double decaf half-caf and prepare to get re-acquainted with an old friend. The creator of Ultima, Richard Garriot, left Origin many months ago, but that’s not stopping him from having fun. Find out about what he’s been up to in RL and what he’d like to be doing in the future. Gamespy hosts this edition of 20 questions with RG, and here’s a sip:

GameSpy: When you’re not working, how do you spend your time?

Richard Garriott: Adventure travel! Been doing a lot this summer/fall. Recently went to Africa on Safari, Russia for the 3rd time doing cosmonaut training, white water rafting, etc. In the past, I’ve visited all 7 continents, been down the Amazon, to the South Pole, down to the Titanic, and to deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Next year , I’m submarining to the bottom of the sea at the North Pole.

A game based on Richard Garriot’s RL adventures? Hmm. =)
