I don't profess to knowing their life story, I just know enough to say that it seems unlikely they would dilute the quality of the franchise by allowing frequent games releases that don't enhance the overall Matrix story.

Actually I knew who they were pretty much after the release of the first Matrix and subsequent release of the Matrix Revisited, which offered an insight into their techniques and approaches to what is essentially their own creation. Thusly, wathcing that enables me to make up a judgement of them in my mind and then pass opinion. And anyhow, using your logic, you couldn't say anything about anyone e.g.'Ah, you never knew who Tony Blair was before 1995, now your criticising his decisions'

I'm 19, and gaming should have a small 'g'.

I'm not saying you shouldn't say they are 'the wachowski brothers', but I hate people when they say 'The Wachowski Brothers, being the perfectionists they are' and stuff like that - 3 months ago you wouldn't have had a clue who they were, now you're a big fan?
(Not aimed at anyone)
It annoys me no end. It's the same people who seem to know the games industry inside out, yet'll deny all knowledge in 2 years time when they're 16 and Gaming isn't 'cool' anymore.

Consider it straightened. :)

No, that is what they're known as, just like the Farrelly Brothers, Coen Brothers etc etc
Just a thought.
They think they're huge stars now.
Before the Matrix hardly any of you had even heard of them.
Now you talk of them as if they are personal friends.
I've not even seen a picture of them.
And I don't want to.
Purple.
On.
Bliss.
