For the inaugural edition of Motherboard, VBS journeys to the enchanted realm of Austin, Texas to visit Richard Garriott, aka Lord British. In the early 80s, Garriott used the pile of money he'd amassed as a high-school student selling ziplock-baggied copies of his home-programmed computer role-playing games to start up Origin Systems, the company responsible for Ultima installments III through IX and pretty much single-handedly shaping the world of video RPGs as we (the nerds) know it.

  • Video Game money buys a lot of LSD.

  • this dude is too awesome

  • @Destroyer4454 Actually. He used to greet people with the word "Hello" instead of "Hi" alot. and that is one of the reasons they called him British. This was on the tape interview you could get with Ultima 6 if you ordered the Autogrphed version from Origin.

  • actually he grew up in texas. his nickname's Lord British because when he went to programming camp and was playing dnd with his buddies as a kid,they called him that because of his accent if I remember correctly. Ultima ftw

  • He collects a lot of weird stuff. His house is awesome though.

  • Tabula Rasa was a great idea for a game, something I had been looking forward to...I never got a chance to play. I hope he is still interested in making games.

  • Just watch the damn video lol, he explains why it's Lord British.

  • Hi, does all motherboard fit in any case? I have an Xion case

  • Maybe because he grew up in Texas, and his proper method of speaking sounded British to them or something...

  • well Richard second life as plenty of people tunning out or real life .. dam crazzy people on there .carrie on as if its real life ... makes me laugh
