Mikey Neumann is the Chief Creative “Champion” at Gearbox Software. He has worked at the company since Half Life for Playstation 2 and loves what he does. In addition to writing many of the games at Gearbox, he’s also the voice of Scooter in the Borderlands series.
On the side he writes comics and novels. If you want to read some of his books, you can do that for free at his publishing website, “BOZ.” Head on over and check out some of his material at www.bozpublishing.com
One time he ran over a banana peel in his car and that’s where Mario Kart came from. (The last thing isn’t true. He’s actually quite allergic to bananas. One time he held one and he died. Okay, that’s not totally true either. Mikey is a pathological lie-face.)
What is true is that there will be an awesome auction for a lot that includes a whole bunch of Borderlands stuff.
Mikey will be calling in on Sunday at 7:00 PM PST, 10:00 PM EST, 3:00 AM GMT. Leave your questions in the comments!
What is your favorite gear ratio?
Dear Dr. Neumann,
What is the biggest difference between writing for games and writing novels?
Hey Dr. Mikey,
I have several questions, feel free to ignore any of them:
1. What is your favorite moment from working with Lance Henrikson?
2. Have you had many fans express their excitement about your Desert Bus lot at cons and such?
3. Can you give us a hint of any new Returners we can expect to see in season 2/the finale for season 1?
Thanks for being so rad all the time.

Hi, Mikey! I’ve got two questions.
1) What’s the best way for an aspiring writer to get their toe in the door of the video game industry?
2) Just curious, during the development of Borderlands 2, how many times did the Gearbox staff refer to Anthony Burch as “that heartless bastard?”
