Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Listen well to your muse or else it gives you the silent treatment.
Don't try to be great, doing what one has a passion and talent for takes care of that.
Trying to be great is a great way to fail.
'Great game play travels'.
Dave Jaffe has a vagina, apparently.
Dicks are everywhere.
Video games.
It seems like everyone saying that Jaffe was a bit too egotistical had a point. I don't blame him entirely. I haven't had that level of success, obviously. But, the point stands that it seemingly got to his head and messed him up a bit for a while.
Next, I can't help but think that most of what he's complaining about in this is his fault for leaving Sony. They gave him the go ahead to build Sony Santa Monica, and he left of his own free will after he made one really successful game. He probably should have stayed longer.
It's basically the story of a guy who tasted success with one game, and then got messed up by it and totally lost his perspective. However, it's an entertaining watch because he's nothing if not honest and open about it.
Also, I find it humorous that his big epiphany is that Rockstar and Bioware games have horrible gameplay. I've only been saying that for like ... ever.
I was always putting Twisted metal on my number 1 wishlists for E3 every year since 2005. After seeing this keynote I must say my respect for him only increased and honestly I know it wont sell as much as those big hitters he mentioned. But just cause thats true doesn't mean Twisted Metal doesn't have its place or its fans im glad he is back to doing what he wants to do.(wich is make the kind of games i wanna play)
