I was outside of Central Hall and this guy comes walking past. I instantly recognized Mr. Bushnell, but it still made me do a double-take. After a minute of debating what to do, I caught up with him (he had stopped to fiddle with the pipe he was smoking), introduced myself, talked about being an Atari player from back in the day, and how that ultimately shaped my career. He was very considerate of my intrusion, and we had a nice little conversation about video games. It was definitely the highlight of CES for me (among other notable events: meeting Gary Stern, playing Sly Cooper 4, and being amazed by the 4K televisions).
