There’s probably not a lot I can write here about Notch that you don’t already know. He made Minecraft. He’s making Scrolls. He founded the Mojang AB game studio. He called into Desert Bus last year. He’s an awesome dude.

If you care to laud his work on Minecraft, or find out what it’s like to have made one of the most successful indie games of recent memory, if not all time, your chance is now!

Mikey Neumann is a creative director for Gearbox Software, most well known for his work on Brothers in Arms and Borderlands. He writes, voice acts, and is a renaissance man of countless talents. He famously went on-the-record saying that he would play Borderlands on release day with anyone who could produce eveidence they had pre-ordered it, and—thanks to extensive coverage of the offer by several gaming blogs–ended up with his own gaming marathon as a result.

Despite some recent medical setbacks Mikey remains committed to his passions is presently hard at work on Borderlands 2, as well as several other creative endeavours.
