My life and times
I told my boy Todd about my Dwight Howard sighting, and he said “Oh my God was he frickin’ huge?” (yes he said frickin’). Short answer: Yes.
My tire was low today, which I realized as I was out the door to join my buddy Jason at the RDV. We like to hookup [...]
Tina told me I needed to catch up last night on Lost, so I did. So anybody who wants to chat about it (which seemed like just about everyone up until last night), I’m now ready to talk. If you don’t watch Lost, I recommend getting the DVDs once this season is over [...]
Hard to believe it’s been a month since I’ve written in my blog. I’m getting to be as bad as Chris and Lindsay, so we can’t have that now, can we? And if you two were waiting for me to write to finally update yours, here’s your chance.
Part of my lack of updates, I [...]
I headed up to Gainesville yesterday to talk to Computer Science students that might want to get into the game industry or come to FIEA. I had a lot of fun, and the more I go there, the more I like Gainesville. This was the first time I’d been there while school was [...]
The first time I heard that college was using instant replay, I thought it was going to slow the game down too much. Well, 2 weeks in - yep I was right. When the coaches don’t have to challenge, they over-review. And I’ve seen a couple instances now of refs looking at [...]
Well - I had fun at Siggraph. Our FIEA booth looked great, much better arrangement than we had at GDC. We also had a lot more promising students stop by for a gander and sometimes more. One of the best things we did was bring a student laptop and widescreen monitor and [...]
Well, it’s good to return somewhat to normal with the family home and such. I was glad to hear that they had a great time visiting family and friends in Utah - I only wish I could’ve been with them. I’m not sure I would’ve lasted 3 weeks, but it would’ve been good [...]
I made it back from the concrete jungle of LA in one piece, so that’s kinda neat. Shout outs to Chandler, Rich, Bob and Bill - it was great hanging out with all you guys. My PSP came up huge on the way home, Jordan in row 10 or so, and I in [...]
OK, so it’s out there now, so I can finally say it. I’m working on XBOX360 Madden, and it’s really cool!
Seriously though, this is a pretty awesome time to be someone into digital media and video gaming. This box will revolutionize gaming in the living room, and will sell a whole lot of [...]
Well, finally making some headway at work. Got some pretty stuff in the game that made people go oooooh and aaaaaah so that’s always fun. Honestly, it’s the part of my job I’ll miss the most. I’m now integrating my work with the rest of the team, so here’s where programs [...]
At work on a Saturday working on E3 related material waiting for my make clean to finish - need I say more about how my life is these days?
Hope everyone enjoys my latest creation, the top 10 lists. I tell ya, I just can’t get enough of this blog, huh? Some things [...]
Work definitely heated up this week, that’s for sure. I would say this week was 20 hours FIEA, 60 hours EA. We’ve got some pretty lofty goals for E3, so I think the next 4 weeks are going to be pretty insane. I’m going up to St. Louis on Monday morning for [...]
I want to post. No really, I want to. But after I don’t post for a few days, it’s like I have too much to talk about, and it seems like a daunting proposition to post everything I need to. I get “stuff” built up, and then it would take too long(like [...]
As expected, seeing lots of friends and catching up at GDC. This is my first time ever “working” a booth, so that’s been a new experience - for those of you that don’t know me, trying to be social with people I don’t know is not one of my strong points (unless you talk [...]
Crazy happenings going on, not enough time to write about them. I’ll attempt to recap…
Jason and I went to the Astros v Braves game on Saturday afternoon, which was fantastic. It was so good to see the boys of summer doing their thing again. While we were waiting in the will call [...]
I’m a gamer, don’t get me wrong. How could I work in games for this long and not be a gamer? However, I would say I’m close to average for the industry when it comes to how many games I play, or my gaming addictions. I know many, many people who are [...]
OK. Everyone has now asked for the Madden Bowl update, so here ya go, in all the gory detail. First, to let you know the scale of the Super Bowl, the closest thing to this that I can think of, and this is actually pretty close when you think about it, was the Winter [...]
Olivia did great at her cheer competition at Sea World yesterday, and was pretty pumped up about it all day long. Her team bounced back from their subpar performance at Jacksonville to take home the top prize.
We’ve buckled down in our house in hopes of getting 3 A’s in Math this term. If [...]
I have to say, I definitely love this part of American Idol. It goes from the tryouts (now) to Hollywood, where they narrow the field to 24. Once they narrow it down, it gets less interesting to me.
Contrast that to the part of the project I’m currently working on at work. [...]
I finally had a good enough friend get a PSP such that I could see it and actually play it. I played Ridge Racer, and it was a hoot. Definitely the must have gadget, just in time for my birthday too. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge. Meaning I’d like to get [...]
