The Next Title

Fri Jun 26, 2009, 10:39 PM
Well with the wrap up for the last project Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen things are doing well. I was sent to Vegas, The New York New York, to show off the game at a preview press event and I was happy to see everyone enjoy the multiplayer (the part I worked so hard on). We even had to kick off a few people at the end so they can make it to the Prototype event at the Rok club. I was shocked when they asked me to go to London and show off the game to the Euro press. They let me have 1 and half ways to myself which was great. With the hotel in central London I was able to visit a lot of places, London Tower, Big Ben, London Bridge, Tower Bridge, London Dudgeon, and many more. All this was paid for by my bosses which was great, I had a blast with them.

After returning off to E3 to visit all the new games coming up. This was a dream come true for me, I always wanted to be at E3 and it was something that I'll always have in my memories. It awe struck me with how big and expensive all these presentations were. It was much more fabulous then the LA car show. The Transformers Booth was off to the side so it didn't get much attention but the people who did come really did enjoy the multiplayer.

After all that I left the project and wished them luck with the DLC. I was transferred back to my old desk at Treyarch which is a lot more homely then my desk at Luxoflux and its good to be back. It's good to see some familiar faces again but sad to say good by to a lot of others as well. I really owe a lot of my success to Chris my project lead for my last two projects. He really let me shine and gave support to me and the whole team. By far he was the best lead I ever had, it's sad to see him go but this all so we can grow.

While I start up on this new secret project my next goal is to become a producer. With all the connections I have made over the years it seems like a good time to attempt to move on up. With a lot of recommendations under my belt I think have a good chance at getting somewhere.

While things as doing good money wise (Love my Subaru WRX btw) things are still rough on time since I manage the house all by myself now a days. It's a bit lonely to be in this big house all alone and without any support but I make due with what I have. My love life is not existent which is too bad. I'm finally at a place where I can support a relationship and with the confidence in my life and myself. The only problem is that the person that I had my eye on is no longer around. She was a friend of friend's girlfriend and after the relationship ended it is too awkward to start something up now.

Well that's all for now. I hope you enjoy my next title =).

Well the last few weeks have been hectic. Had a press event in Vegas then another one in London then Botcon then E3. It has been busy finishing up Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen. Check out the multiplayer (the part I worked on) it's more fun then you think it would be.

I'll update with pictures of Vegas London and E3 later. I'll also add some more stuff about Vegas and London.

Post Project

Well Lionclaws was great and lots of fun. It was a foggy Sunday game and the dew on the grass added cups of water to our boots every 10 feet we marched. Gun failure was a lot higher in the rain, half of us were unarmed due to broken down guns. We still marched on with working guns in the front while the unarmed did medic duties. Tracking down a very quick enemies in the high mountains left us drained but we still carried on. Finally at the very end we cornered the last man but he was in a tank. Having used our last two rockets to kill squads of enemies we lacked strong enough firepower to take it down. All we could do is cover fire and advance to slowly encircle the enemy. With one brave soldier running up with a grenade in hand was able to toss it in the hatch winning the battle.

400 of us stood out of our muddy ditches and gave a loud cheer. That is how the last Lionclaws ended.



Ok that was monthes ago, now for more recent news.

I finished off Call of Duty 5 last November. A lot of work has been but in to the game, and I worked myself in to sickness to get the game done on time. Deadlines and pressure consistently loomed over me as more and more responsibility landed on me. Making decisions to get the game out to the stores on time weighed heavily on me. But in the end we were able to pull through. I was able to learn a lot off of the project and able to get one step closer in a higher position at Activision.

I worked from 10am to 2am for 7 days a week, ....for 7 weeks in a row. That's not including my 20 hour shifts I had to do once and awhile.

I hope you enjoy Call of Duty World at War. A lot of work went in to it.


After the project and the mad overtime I found myself with a huge sum of cash. With this cash I was able to purchase the car of my dreams. The all new 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX with 265 HP. With monthes of haggling dealers I was able to get a price below invoice.

Well I'm continuing to work on my next game, at a much less hectic rate. I'm starting to work on my line art again. Hopefully I will get a better car picture and as well as new Negima line art out. Until next time, ja mata ne.

New day

Sat Mar 15, 2008, 9:03 PM
Just another new day but its still more of the same.

Getting ready for Lion Claws 7. Got my M4 rebuilt and repaired. I got a new SA80-L85A1 and upgraded it for long range battles. This time I should be up to par but have to remember not to use it for regular games after this. It is shooting at 450 feet per second with .20g BBs.

I'll update more about LC7 as I get ready and also my new kit.

A look back

Thu Feb 14, 2008, 2:34 PM
Well 2006 was probably the worst year in my life and 2007 was the bounce back I guess.

The last words I told her was that I'll be fine. In the end like always I found my back on my feet but this time I was not with out scars. 2006 still left its mark on me even today. I can't say that I am the same person any more no matter how hard I try to be. Deep down I still miss her a lot and I look over to the seat next to me when I driving wishing she was still there cuddled up in my jacket sleeping soundly.

I wish with all my heart that things were the way they used to be but I know it would never happen. Even now I dunno if I can let go of what happened. I wished her happy holidays but that was all I could bare to do. I felt any more would bring back too much. All in all its just another lonely valentine day.

Besides love my career is doing alright. Working hard at Activision and doing what I can. At least I'm proud of where I work and what I do. Training to be a Producer but its a long road.

Right now I'm watching Clannad (Great Series), Kimikiss Pure Rouge, and 5 Centimeters Per Secong (Great summary of how my love life went). You should check it out.
