Surveillant anxiety is always a conjoined twin: The anxiety of those surveilled is deeply connected to the anxiety of the surveillers. But the anxiety of the surveillers is generally hard to see; it’s hidden in classified documents and delivered in highly coded languages in front of Senate committees.
I am tremendously excited to introduce a unique ‘Metal Gear Solid’ experience to a new audience of gamers as well as collaborate with my mentor in game design, Mr. Miyamoto, on ‘Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes’ for Nintendo GameCube.

I’m an identical twin, and I felt that with my twin brother, we sort of formed this unassailable force, and it gave me the confidence to be different.

I was really close with Rob Ryan, so I know that Rex, being his twin, would be very similar to him.

I think the amazing thing about ‘Twin Peaks’ was that it completely changed television from that point forward.
Osama bin Laden’s hijacked planes not only attacked the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They also attacked Islam as a faith. They attacked the values of tolerance and coexistence that Islam preaches.

We didn’t have much, but I was raised to believe if you had books, you had a lot. My grandfather and my parents made me and my twin brother Kiel read at least a book a week.
I remember I was, like, 6 years old when I found out that I was having a little brother, and I was wishing and wishing for a sister. When my mom came out and my dad, and they’re like, ‘It’s a boy,’ Spencer, my twin brother, is cheering and jumping up and down, and then I burst into tears. I was so sad. I was crying.
Like ‘Twin Peaks,’ ’24,’ ‘Mad Men,’ and ‘The Sopranos’ before it, ‘Downton Abbey’ enriches the iconography and collective lore of pop culture. It replenishes the stream.

It is true that I was born in Iowa, but I can’t speak for my twin sister.

Societies raise their grandest monuments to what their cultures value most highly. As the tallest buildings in a city noted for tall buildings, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were certainly monumental.

Man, ‘Twin Peaks’ ruined me for television. I mean, how can you top a show like that.

I’m quite close with my family, especially my twin sister, and it’s always hard to leave her.
I don’t have a twin, but I do have a brother and sisters, and I do know that there is a special bond there that is – I’m going to say – closer. It’s different. It’s closer than having a best friend.
