Arguably
the only American that still makes original video games. While the rest of them make First-Person-Wrestling-Shooter-Sequels on the new Quake/Ford Hybrid engine, his blog reveals he's also been doing some hard work at a movie,
Oz before disappearing into
Taiwan (I'm an asshole who didn't check my facts, and almost fell off my chair when I got this email. He saw my site! OMG I"m your biggest fan whooooo):

And that's precisely where his bones will someday lay; and have let him know we stand corrected and flushed with groupie redness. If I got an email from anybody else I would totally fix the punctuation, but if American wants lower case i's, who am I to say otherwise? Anyway, we hope Mr. McGee sticks around for the next-gen consoles and doesn't die unexpectedly at an early age, like all the other supernuts we've loved.
His most recent game:
Bad Day LA. Its like Grand Theft Auto with eerie cartoony characters, except that you get to throw poo, and after you set someone on fire you can nurse them back to perfect health.
Then there was Alice. Tim Burton, eat your wheaties.
