Michael Jackson was a gamer, he wanted me to come up to Neverland and talk to him about games. The first time I went up and after walking in the door, he handed me a black plastic trash bag and told me to put it on. I was like, "HUH?" He started putting his trash bag on. Then one of his staff walked in with a giant PILE of eggs. A bunch of his friends came in (wearing the requisite black trash bags) and we all went into the garden area and started a giant egg fight. I threw my first egg FULL FORCE (I have long arms), then the world went into slow motion, I thought, "Oh No!", as I saw the egg flying full speed towards his son's face, and I noticed they were filming everything for Michael's home video collection (so they'd know who did it!) What a great start to make his son cry. Luckily, it whizzed right by his ear missing him by millimeters. I then went into "Here, take this" as I performed the lamest egg throws you've ever seen. So everyone survived, and I was invited to stay.

I had a damn good time in his arcade, check out the stuff it had: CLICK HERE

There were always celebrities there, Marlon Brando was staying there for a while (this was when he was really ill and was there to escape the media), Brett Ratner (Director - Rush Hour / X-Men) was there just hanging out.

I was given complete free roam, and took advantage of it, I've played his arcade machines, been on all his rides, I even fired up his go-karts, and drove his bumper cars (while listening to Michael Jackson music turned up to 11.)

As I wandered around, I walked into his movie theater and watched him play with his kids, he was an amazing father to them. I watched him quietly from the shadows at the back, he had no idea I was there. They were watching the Three Stooges but had given up on that and instead were just having fun. Anytime anything turned serious, he'd fight it, one time his chef was cooking me something, and he walked in. He saw that the chef had turned the news on the TV, and he said to the chef, "Please turn that off, this is why people come here, to get away from all that." I guess the point is that he was always surrounded with the pressures from the real world, but was trying hard to provide an escape, not just for himself, but for everyone else too.

I hated that people would say negative stuff about him as they had never met him.

I was invited back a few times and always saw interesting things, like the road would be blocked as they were exercising an elephant, my wife came up and fed his bear. I made some dumb mistakes too, like he was totally into magic, so I showed him that leviation trick but got the angles wrong, he didn't say it was the most lame magic he'd ever seen, but you could tell he was thinking it, as then he started talking about David Blaine being a friend of his. Let's just say, I gave up on the magic.

Our discussions lead us to plan for him to release his next music album as a video game FIRST, then as an album. This would have introduced many new players to video games. He was incredibly interested in the idea, and we got quite far down that road, working on the story, mechanics etc. We were excited about the press potential, I remember saying to him, "Oprah never talks about video games", to which he replied, "Oprah is a friend of mine". This was a theme I learned, he had so many friends, and actually spent time with them all. It was really impressive.

So I feel lucky to have spent time with him, I think the music industry lost a major part of its history yesterday, I know his children will be devastated, and for people like me that spent time with him, that got to see the "real" guy, (outside of his celebrity) the world lost a really great person too.

OH, one other thing, I have another quick Michael Jackson story from the other side... I used to know the head of security for Wembley Stadium in the UK. He gave me one of those reflective security staff jackets to wear so I could go anywhere I wanted. So I went to see tons of famous acts (Madonna, David Bowie, Prince, everyone), and literally would stand at the side of the stage and watch the show. I did this with Michael Jackson, and it was the worst show ever! Why? Well everyone kept bloody fainting! "Mister!!! My girlfriend just fainted, help me save her, PLEASE!" I spent most of the concert carrying sweaty-crushed-passed-out women to the medical crews. I'd NEVER seen that many at any concert before. There are tons of great bands out there, but it's a whole new level when your fans can't remain conscious! He rocked.

Michael Jackson 是一个游戏玩家，他邀请我到Neverland与他讨论游戏。我第一次到那儿，进门后，他递给我一个黑色的塑料垃圾袋并告诉我穿上它。我的反应像是“HUH？“ 他开始穿上他的垃圾袋。随后他的一个职员走进来拿着一大堆鸡蛋。他的一帮朋友（都穿着被要求的黑色垃圾袋）和我们都进入花园开始了一场大规模的鸡蛋大战。我用尽全力仍出了我的第一个鸡蛋（我的手臂很长），随后的一切象慢动作一样，我想：”噢，不。“，因为我看到那个鸡蛋全速向他儿子的脸飞去，我还注意到他们为了Michael的家庭录像收藏拍摄每件事（所以他们知道谁干的！），惹他的孩子哭可不是一个好的开始。幸运的事，鸡蛋错过了几厘米擦着他的耳朵飞了过去. 我随后边叫着”看这儿“，边进行着最糟糕的鸡蛋投掷，每个人都幸存下来，我被邀请留下来。

我在他的游戏室里玩得很快乐。你可以通过这个链接看游戏室的东西：http://www.pinsane2.com/pinorama ... n_arcade_entry.html

Neverland里总是有明星在那。马龙.白兰度在那儿呆了一段时间（当他病的很厉害或想躲避媒体时）。Brett Ratner（Rush Hour/X-men的导演）喜欢在那闲荡。

我被容许在那儿四处走动，而我充分利用了这个特权。我玩了他游戏室里的机器，他所有的游乐设施， 我甚至还用过他的卡丁车和他的碰碰车（同时听着高音量的Michael Jackson的音乐）。

有一次我四处闲逛时，我走进他的电影院，看见他和他的孩子们在玩，他是一个令人惊奇的父亲。我在阴影里安静的观察着他，他不知道我在那儿。他们在看《三个丑角》（Three Stooges）但随后放弃看电影，只是在那玩的很开心。 每当有什么事情变的严肃时，他会反对它。有一次他的厨师在为我作一些吃的，他走进来看见厨师开着电视看新闻，他对厨师说：“请关掉电视。人们到这里来是为了远离那些东西。”我想他的意思是他总是被真实世界的那些压力所围绕，他想为他自己和其他人提供一个避难所。

我恨那些从未遇见过他而说他坏话的人。

我后来又被邀请过几次，总是能看见有趣的东西，比如当他们训练大象时会将道路封住，我妻子喂过他的熊。我也犯了一些愚蠢的错误。MJ很喜欢魔术，所以有一次我给他演示悬浮术但弄错了角度，他没有说这是他见过的最蹩脚的魔术，但你能看出来他是这么想的，接着他开始说David Blaine （一位著名的魔术师）是他的朋友。此后我就放弃了魔术。

我们的讨论导致我们计划在他的下张专辑发行时先发行一个视频游戏，然后是一张专辑。这会为视频游戏带来更多新的玩家。他对这个主意很感兴趣，我们在这个想法上作了很多，构想故事情节等。我们对媒体关注的可能前景感到兴奋。我记得说： “Oprah从来不讨论视频游戏。” 他回答说：“Oprah是我的一个朋友。”这是我认识到的一件事，他有这么多朋友，而他实际上花时间和他们一起，这 令人印象深刻。

我感到很幸运能和他相处一段时间。我认为昨天音乐产业失去了其历史上很重要的一部分。我知道他的孩子们会悲伤。对于我和其他一些与他相处过，见过真实的他的人来说，这个世界失去了一位很伟大的人物。

OH, 还有另外一个关于MJ的小故事.......我曾经认识一个在英国Wembley体育场工作的保安人员。他给我一件体育馆保安人员的夹克，我可以穿着它去体育馆里的任何地方。 我因此观看了很多著名的演出（象Madonna，David Bowie, Prince,等），而且就站在舞台边看演出。我也这样观看了Michael Jackson的演出，而这是最糟糕的一场。为什么？因为每个人在不停的晕倒。“先生，我女朋友晕倒了!!请帮我救救她!!”音乐会的大部分时间我忙着把那些汗湿的晕倒的女人们送到医务人员处。此前，我从来没有在任何音乐会上见过那么多人晕倒。这世界上有很多伟大的乐队。但使你的fans不能保持清醒，这是一个全新的水平。他rocked.
