Could he be any more humble? *rolls eyes*

@LeonSKennedy828 Humble enough to show respect for Miyamoto, at least!

John Carmack deserves this award for sure. He is a brilliant guy!

@Forseti1590 No, he is right. An award means most if it is provided by the audience capable of appreciating ones work.

@Forseti1590 Hahaha, I love that opening line of his. There's no way to start off like that without sounding full of it. :P

Awesome guy though; definitely one of the most important guys in gaming history, and a total genius to boot.
