Meet a Judge: Reid Kimball

"RBD" as he likes to be called, short for Really Brilliant Designer has made a name for himself by being really loud and making outrageous claims that may or may not be true. He credits the rise of episodic gaming in recent years to himself and often claims to be revolutionizing the field of accessible games. Believing to be the world's authority in closed captioning in games he says he has solved how to make games more accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing. Create a government law that requires everyone to learn American Sign Language and another law that requires all developers to create 1000's more animations so that all characters use visual hand gestures in the form of American Sign Language. RBD has been cited as calling his idea, "the greatest idea by mankind in modern times." Apparently, some disagree, such as Michelle Hinn whom he refers to as, "that dyslexic red-headed hippie who gets the concept of keeping her clothes on backwards."

When IGDA TV News caught up with Hinn, leaving the afterparty at the Champaign, Illinois International House of Pancakes with Courtney Love and entourage had this to say: "look, KGB or whatever your latest name is -- at least I remember to wear panties unlike other stars I won't name." (BritBrit anyone?) Love and Hinn then prank texted none other than Co-Host Richard Van Tol who was seen in Euro-land looking looking very swank on the Red Carpet (in his apartment), added to the rumors that there just might be a showdown between the cast of AI saying "I have no interest in RBK and his laws and Michelle is too crazy for her own good."

Ooooooh...Tension on the AI set already?
