In reality, this is (L-R): Scott Miller, Steve Blackburn, John Romero (then of Ion Storm), & Chris Reinhart of Humanhead Studios at E3 2001.

NOTE: Chris Reinhart now holds the record for appearing in the camera captioning contest and not having a single entry about him sent in.  90% of the entries were about Romero and/or Daikatana.  Decided the Daikatana thing was too easy, and just went with the one that appears above.
