For fun personalities:
Tim Schafer, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Marcus "Notch" Persson

To pick their brains:
Fumito Ueda, Jenova Chen, and Nicolau “Calunio” Chaud

To talk business:
Gabe Newell, Satoru Iwata, and John Riccitiellio

To share a pretentious cup of tea:
Peter Molyneux

If I could pick only one, it would be Tim. Did you see his game pitch to Cookie Monster? Classic.

Most excellent. The best part is that I know how they originally developed the idea for Once Upon A Monster, and it was entirely unrelated to Sesame Street...or zombies.

Basically Double Fine was having a down period where they were looking for a publisher for Brutal Legend, so to keep his dev teams on their toes, Schafer split them into four groups and told them to come up with video game ideas. All four have now been used by the company: Costume Quest, Stacking, Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster (only without the licensing...that came later), and Trenched.

Ed Boon

Maybe just a quick meetup for a few beers and hot wings, and I'd tell him how much I appreciate all the hard work that he's put into the Mortal Kombat series over the years. Possibly even throw a few ideas at him about future MK games.

Miyamoto, Kojima, Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Shinji Mikami all seem awesome from the Japanese side of things.

Warren Spector and Ken Levine for English designers.

I don't think it's possible to pick just one.

Sid Meiers, hand down. That man created my favourite series of all time. I would take my Railroad Tycoon box for him to sign lol.
