I can't, its like trying to make me choose between my children, assuming I had them, and also assuming I actually love them.

Seriously, we're talking about two of the people who along with Hayao Miyazaki have inspired my own writing and thoughts on story telling and game design. I can't really choose which one is my favorite and even now, they are probably only some of a handful of people whose mere announcement of working on a project will make me jump for glee. So no, I'm not choosing a side on this one.
