Yes, I really do want a medium decaff latte with sugar-free vanilla syrup and lowfat milk. Not a grande skinny whateverthefuckyoujustsaid. If I wanted to get smart ass comments and snide looks with my fucking coffee I can go to Barnes & Noble. From now on I'll head to the Mcdonald's drive through, I don't think they will give me shit about my ordering etiqett while I'm getting coffee with my McNuggets.
So guess I did lie when I said I hadn't taken any pictures at GDC this year. I opened up my camera tonight and I found this ONE picture. I'm not quite sure which party it was from, although I suspect it was the Microsoft party. For the life of me I can't remember taking the camera with me, much less taking the photo. Oh well, maybe in the future it will be an awesome and impactful picture. You never know in the games industry.
Yeah dude, I get it. You are a "normal guy," just like us. Except you wear super expensive suit jackets while walking in black and white commercials with classical music playing. I get it. You are rich and awesome, and you want to tell us stupid folks why we should buy your company's stuff because you got into a cab (with your laptop).
Dude, hire some fat putz or a dorky guy like Verizon has to hawk your wares, because you are reaching towards the ULTIMATE FAIL. Rich folk don't use Sprint, they already have Iphones, and poor folk don't go for the "hey look at me I'm super rich and pretending to be normal while walking the streets of NYC" spiel.
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO AWAY. You're starting to piss me off. I'm trying to watch Family Guy.
So I got this ad in my email the other day. Made me chuckle. Oh, and I lied, I didn't take any GDC pictures, forget the camera in my room every day. Oh well, next year.
So the last time Mt. Redoubt seriously blew it's lid, I was pretty oblivious to the fact. All I knew is that the plane that was supposed to be picking me up off of a remote island in the Gulf of Alaska, where I had been deer hunting for a week, didn't show up. Four days after I was supposed to be picked up (lucky we got a deer!), the bush plane finally landed, and I was flown back to my now ash-covered home.
So today, as Mt. Redoubt spews more ash and suet over my friends and family back home in Alaska, I am have a little trepidation about getting on a plane at zero-dark-thirty tomorrow morning. But I guess it's a small comfort that I am flying south, down to San Francisco for GDC 2009. Should be a fun conference this year, can't wait to see the regulars, hit the parties, and check out the buzz. I will post some pics when I get back.
In other news...there is some other news. More news on that news will be along sometime soon.
Oh, and shut up about AIG. You gave them billions of dollars. Deal with it.
Bungie.net posted an interview on my path into working at Bungie. If you don't already know the story, you might be interested on how I landed my current gig, as well as the super-world exclusive reveal of my current project.
Wow, I open up the February edition of Official Xbox Magazine, and I read some very flattering things about myself in their "Top 100 for 2009" spread.
I really am appreciative, OXM. Thanks for saying nice things about me. But...you should probably check out my blog more. I'm kinda not working on the game you mention is all down to me. But hey, I still get to send a copy of the mag to my mom, and that's cool, so thanks! Ryan, send me a friends request!
Oh, and Mom...I totally beat you out on the list. Take that!
Today, Ubisoft announced that a new Ghost Recon is planned for release later this year. I, for one, am excited to see where the Ghosts are deploying to next...
Aside from "Can I haz Recon," this letter I saw on Kotaku pretty much fits the standard fan email I have grown accustomed to over the past six years:
It's pretty cool to have your work mentioned in the Guinness World Records, even if it is a special gamers edition. Clancy games get a spread, including Ghost Recon and a special mention for GRAW's GOTY BAFTA (which I had the honor of accepting in London).
Bungie got a little nod for that one franchise they did too. :) You can check out a preview here.
